[RWC2023] South Africa vs Scotland (10/09/2023)

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Alun-Wyn Jones on the Irish broadcast said Kriel and Russell should both have been given a yellow card.

 

[Jer1cho]

Too much 'stick to the plan' rugby from us. Reminds me of how we played in 2021.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Kriel's is undisputedly a red IMO. See absolutely no mitigation.

 

[West Country Wail]

If Curry's Red card doesn't get rescinded after that then Ben Whitehouse needs removing from his role

 

[IT157]

Kriel's is undisputedly a red IMO. See absolutely no mitigation.

Yep. Inconsistency. How can that not be a red but Curry's is

 

[Rinkadink]

Wasn't there an elbow or forearm which started the heavy handbags? Anyone got a clip of that?

Can't use that birb site any more as I can't 2FA without paying (and I can't pay without signing in).

 

[General Melchett]

Wouldn't moan if Russell got a yellow but Kriel's is a clear red.

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

Struggling with this game. The accuracy needs to up.

In all facets.

 

[TommiG88]

Wouldn't moan if Russell got a yellow but Kriel's is a clear red.

Agreed.

Yet the commentators were flabbergasted with the pen against Russell which confused me. Clear shoulder no arms tackle

 

[General Melchett]

I wonder if Kriel sent Ben Whitehouse some Owen Farrell home baked biscuits before the game.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Have we gotten a clear answer on whether banned players can be replaced yet? If not then I reckon SA are playing (at least) the rest of pool games with Moodie at 13.

 

[AlRums]

Agreed.

Yet the commentators were flabbergasted with the pen against Russell which confused me. Clear shoulder no arms tackle

True but I would like to have seen the previous challenge checked as well

It's really ****** me off, this. Scotland already dealt a harsh draw, and now denied playing v 14 for 78 mins. Just disgusting imo. True incompetence from the refereeing team, especially TMO

 

[Rinkadink]

For those asking about the "red", in the Japan v Chile game Sigren was shown a yellow (after review) for a high tackle on Matshushima who was landing after a jump, almost identical to Curry incident. Perhaps someone has a video online.

 

[Stade Rochelais]

 

[TommiG88]

Loving the SA light system

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Loving the SA light system

I'm sure Rassie was told he wasn't allowed to do it anymore.

Nah, it wasn't a jump he ran into him - it's more similar to this incident except Kriel's was with much more force

 

[dullonien]

Ben Whitehouse is the TMO. Explains a lot, he's absolutely dogshit, and he's Welsh!

You can just say he's Welsh. The dogshit part is implied.
