@MiketheSnow said in Springboks v Wales - 1st Test:
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

@gibbon-rib said in Springboks v Wales - 1st Test:
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.

@MiketheSnow You probably deserved better. Thought your locks and loosies were magnificent. Also thought Biggar and LRZ played blinders except for their cards which effectively lost you the game.
We can only live in hope that Pivac sees that discipline will be key to the next two matches and sends Biggar and LrZ back to Wales on the first plane out. Safest to chuck AWJ on the same plane…

There’s a few of these “rugby” channels doing the rounds on social media. The Ruck is another one. More hyperbole and OMGs than a teen girls’ magazine.

I often get news notifications, see it's on the ruck and dismiss it, after the first few notifications of realising they're one of those dick sites that make you scroll through 5 pages for a story.

There’s cleaning out at the ruck and then there’s this bullshit.
Penalty to Wales and a stern warning

It's a pretty grubby act for sure. Bizarre not to be penalised.

Still, it must have been an exciting adventure for a work experience kid. Maybe it'll inspire him to go on to become an actual ref one day
