Hopefully the boys can get it done this Saturday because it would be great to see this lot have a run in the 3rd

So after a week of fun and games with Twitter burner accounts whinging about refereeing in the first test, Rassie releases his magnum opus. An hour long refereeing whinge, bitching about everything down to not straight lineouts. Absolutely the most pathetic thing I've ever seen from a Head Coach/DOR following a test match.

If that is not a deep fake, that's pretty fucking embarrassing.
Edit: Google tells me it's not. Jesus. Round the bend.

I was trying to think of who it reminded me of. Thanks for clearing that up!

So I watch the entire video and it is shit. Having hour long whinge about refereeing decisions a just bullshit.
But it is not even a good whinge, stylistically it was done badly. When you try and convince someone of something you don't open with your weakest point. The Curry tackle was naughty, but was correctly punished, so just shut up about it.
But in there are couple of grains of truth. When a ref puts down a marker on x, y or z and be super strict on certain actions he can't just ignore his own standard 5min later. Like the Bongi high tackle, giving or not giving the penalty could both be correct decisions but when the exact same thing happens five minutes later you need to stick to the standard you have set. Ben O'Keefe is extremely bad at this, pulling up completely random penalties out of his ass on things he let go the whole game.

@margin_walker some Comments from Twitter -
"I heard Rassie has contacted Peter Jackson about doing a 6 hour trilogy on Munsters loss to Scarlets in Pro12 final"
"My favourite bit is when he says "we don't want to nit pick and show every mistake they made" whilst providing an hour long video of nit picking"
**"My favourite part of the video was when he kept replaying Daly holding Mapimpi back (fair).But the same replay kept showing Lukhanyo Am absolutely smashing Henshaw with no arms to knock the ball loose in the first place. No mention of it."**
"Gatland is living in a 50 story skyscraper inside Rassie's head"
"I dont know, first the burner account now the hour long video. Kinda turning into the trump of rugby"Mine was at 39.53. He's complaining about the Itoje turnover on the Lions line. Talking about Faf being on his feet and at the same moment not mentioning the guy not on his feet - Motsert diving over the ruck like an exocet.
It's rugby FFS. It's a bloody hard game to referee. There are technical infringements at most breakdowns. Literally any team could make a video like this after a game highlighting calls that didn't go their way.

I watched to there so far. Quite a few fair points, but the hard done by posturing is just awful.
I would say that the 8 - 2 penalty count in the second half is not looking good in hindsight.
On the park is where the talking should be done.

I'm sure the 8-2 penalty count is wrong.
But if someone from the Lions camp was batshit crazy enough to produce an hour long video highlighting every Boks infringement in response, then we'd be able to see that the correct penalty count should have been something like 28-22

Someone did the first three minutes of the game in this Twitter thread: -
@pakman didnt really need to engage with him on this decision as on field decision was try so they were already on his side, so to speak.
I think this was trying too hard to find insult. AWJ had a few seconds longer with the ref before he walked away.
Kolisi is one of the most respected players in the game so it seems to be nitpicking and trying to find something to complain about

On that occasion I’d agree, but seemed to be the fact that AWJ was better at getting into pole position.
History now, and less than 48 hours till the next instalment…
