[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 1159959, member: 39190"] To my mind O'Keefe has been consistant between SA v Ire and SA v Fra in two ways: - that he lets small things slide at the breakdown, and even bigger things the closer to the end of the match. - and he backs himself or rather backs away from calls where cards might get issued as often as not. IE he tries to avoid TMO intervention and a stop-start game- seeing this as the ideal. TBF for both instances he had received praise in Ire v SA (universally- and here Rassie might've been playing a long game as he was uncharateristically gracious in defeat) and might be why he did same in Fra v SA. It's an open question whether he changes tack on the back of the French backlash or no. [/QUOTE]
