    Penalty only is the correct decision but would have been a yellow by the laws (arm with force to the head --> lower punishment because he was falling). Certainly hurt more than the Codie Taylor tackle...

    Bizarre call given the protocols that've been outlined.

    @frye also correct, which further shows the protocols are wrong

    Vermeulin & Kolisi have been immense today. Kolisi has developed his running game hugely.

    Nah. It was a reckless swinging arm from some clumsy, journeyman oaf. Falling players happen all the time. You cant just cock and fire your arm at chest height and then be surprised that you happen to catch them in the head occasionally because they'd already been tackled (which said oaf must have realized was happening, unless he's even more clumsy than I've given him credit for).

    Totally disagree. It was absolutely the right call.

    Depends how seriously people are about the game continuing I guess. The more we learn about CTE, the less likely it will.

    This match is an almost perfect illustration of the problem with the way that RSA play the game. They’ve been utterly dominant this whole half and should have been out of sight ages ago but now we’re watching them picking post match fights because they’ve not been able to get enough points to match their dominance and close out the match.

    The problem with modern rugby is that it’s a contact sport and contact happens. The guy starts his tackle and ezebeth slips into the tackle. That’s life, physics etc. Not a card sanction.

    How the hell did Frans Steyn stay on the field after trying to knee a player on the ground. I mean his only saving was missing the head, which would've been red and a lengthy ban,but surely should've gotten 10 minutes for that flying knee

    @junior also the problem wasn't the lack of points, it was the soft points conceded. Poor defence lost that game

    England may have won but South Africa are clearly the better team. They dominated that second half and monstered that English pack. Teams need to stand up to their scrum, especially in the 2nd half, it's such a massive weapon for the Boks.

    Welcome back South Africa, rugby's pantomime villains🤣.

    Funnily enough, SA lost in the same way they've lost to NZ in recent times. Dominance up front, but susceptible to teams that have the skills to get around the edge of their defence. Does that mean SA have a problem with teams like NZ, Oz and England 😁
