SA making England looking expansive
10 secs later, SA score after playing expansive rugby.

Nah, Wales doing an "AB" and f#$king around in their own 22 until a mistake is made and the opposition scores. Frustrating.

Anyone have a clue why AWJ was carded? The SA TV coverage seem completely uninterested

He was carded, then un-carded, then carded.
Truly weird.

This is an absolute farce

If ever I wanted a kick to go over...

Well that leaves a very sour taste after what could have been a great contest. 4 yellows FFS, ridiculous

We played dumb when it mattered
Ref fucked us with Zammit call

Not just that one. He was utterly out of his depth, WTF are WR doing throwing a 27 year old ref into a game like this?
But yeah, also some staggeringly dumb play. Our capacity for self-sabotage is impressive.

For all the1st half composure Wales really imploded in 2nd 40. Reffing was sketchy both ways I thought… and yup … Robbie Kempson (commentator) sounding more like Phil Kearns every game…putrid and embarrassing sometimes… Hard luck Wales . You guys deserved a Bok scalp today-

Never been so happy to be so wrong
I’ve been hyper critical of both Pivac and Biggar
But Pivac picked the right team and we were better with Biggar on the pitch

Amazingly the most clear cut yellow wasn’t given
Biggar batting down the pass should have been a penalty, a second YC and Biggar off for good

Wales lost the game when, with 30 seconds left, Tomos Williams kicked away a good lineout possession. Why didn't he keep the ball with his forwards. A draw was a good result. Better than a loss anyway.
He cost us the number one ranking too, selfish git

Thoughts on that yellow for Biggar? I thought it was harsh, Faf was on top of him, not sure what he was supposed to do
That's how I saw it too. A decent ref understands when a player can't move under a pile of bodies, or when players (i.e., halfbacks) are trying to milk a ruck penalty. I only saw the highlights, but had to tune out the SA commentators about the YCs.
