@Billy-Webb I could live with a card on Farrell...
Can you get a card for shoving your face into someone's hand?
No.
But you should get a card (and 10-week suspension) for then acting like a namby-pamby poofballer.Sad fact is Nige wanted to ref final.

@pakman I think the refs were instructed to hold back on the cards as much as possible in the knockout games. Only one was handed out if I remember correctly?
Guess it's either Nigel or one of the Froggies that gets the final.
Peyper or more likely Barnes get the 3rd/4th game.

Is Gardner out of the running? God I hope it's Nige.

@Billy-Webb There have been three cards in the knockouts.
Yellows for Matt Todd and Ross Moriarty.
Red card for the elbow from Sebastian Vahaamahina.

Saffers are always subtle. As subtle as a wounded buffalo

Neither is his memory when it comes to cricket.

I really haven't seen much of the Boks in 2019, missed most of the rugby championship, but assumed they had a solid side with their thrashing of the Wallabies and draw with NZ. They looked good in patches vs ABs, but were very average against Wales. A solid pack who will hold their own, 9, 10, 12 looked pretty handy then nothing beyond that, The ball skills of the back 3 were dreadful, virtually every high ball that they had to contest was dropped, quick, but little power, little penetration, they just didn't look dangerous when they got the ball out wide. I expect SA to play a kicking game, but if they can't challenge for the ball without knocking it out, it's just going to hand the game to England.
De Allende went well, but the the Welsh defence was ordinary when he scored his try. He will most definitely be targeted and nullified. England will have to play really shit to lose this.

So Garces considered the best ref picking up the final...
Poite,O'Keefe as ARs Skeen as TMO
-
@taniwharugby And we get Barnes, as expected.
-
World Rugby taking the piss. Hopefully they've "made a deal" and Garces retires after this.

Lord help us on that! The TAB will have to hastily redesign the optioins for first stoppage in play to include yellow card and red card as alternatives. Oh just thought of another one - a field invasion by Piet van Zyl to discuss a contententious missed call disadvantaging the Boks.

What a joke.
Expect a very dubious refereeing judgement to determine the result because obviously everyone has come to watch the referee.

Nah, entirely predictable. The first French ref for the final. He's old by refereeing standards.
