[June Tests 2018: 1st Test] South Africa vs. England (09/06/2018)

[TommiG88]

I thought the ref was bad in the first half. He's taking it to new levels this one.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wait I'm like 90s behind,
That card is bbbbuuullllllllllllllll plop

 

[Big_Grumper]

That's a definite yellow lads... Mako should get rinsed.

Exactly. He knew what he was doing. The prick.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

May needlessly coming in off his wing again

Edit: maybe not, different angle shows Robshaw was actually a mile away, unsurprisingly

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

With a name like o'Keefe he must have some Irish blood which explains the reffing.

They love a card.

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Exactly. He knew what he was doing. The prick.

How is that a yellow? Penalty yes, but should be reversed for taking the man in the air after the kick

 

[saulan]

This is dangerous for England now, yellow card and altitude to kick in.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

"Bakkies Botha will be watching this game and nodding furiously"

I'm sure he's doing something furiously but I doubt it's nodding

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Back 5 is now
4 6
8 6
8



Nice

"Bakkies Botha will be watching this game and nodding furiously"

I'm sure he's doing something furiously but I doubt it's nodding

Downing beers furiously?

Have to say I was amazed the yellow wasn't for taking the man out in the air.

But I suppose standing your ground after a standard failed charge down attempt is far more serious...

 

[All Black]

I'd like to see Farrell step up and prove his one of the best because this is the time

 

[Jimbo]

How many infringements in that phase?

 

[Big_Grumper]

It was cynical. His eyes were on Faf and he led with the shoulder. Whether there had been a precious warning, I don't know but he made no attempt to cease his forward momentum. And it was right in front of the touch judge.

 

[Amiga500]

With a name like o'Keefe he must have some Irish blood which explains the reffing.

Yip.

Does it feel good?

 

[profitius]

Huge penalty count against England now from the combination of dumb mistakes and a very home town ref.

 

[Fuzzy du Plessis]

God I love Faf, even if he is bending England over a barrell here

Pocock and Faf both smashing it up on the same day. It's doing things to me that I can't explain, I need some of Folau's teachings to guide me away from the hole I'm walking towards.

Edit: maybe not, different angle shows Robshaw was actually a mile away, unsurprisingly

I love a Robshaw bash as much as the next man, but he was absolutely screaming for people to come over. He couldn't leave the guard position the other forwards walked over.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Geddon Maro. Knew he'd pull through

 

[All Black]

Far out Itoje just bent over a ruck and scored lol
