No but cast the mote from thine own eye
Edit. Tbh I don't mind booing, just think it's funny. It sure won't effect the players

Meh. Any chance to call out Kiwis high-and-mighty attitude as "Grim-Faced, Stoic Custodians Of The Game"

Loads of penalties to Oz, then a piece of 'foul' play afterwards rules them all out and takes precedence.
A try to SA, then a piece of foul play afterwards but in the same movement, but that doesn't take precedence.
And the yellow card to the Argies, which stood even though play was called back to an earlier infringement that the ref missed, meaning that he got a card in a part of the game that never actually happened? -

Pickerill hates two things: rugby and Australians.

Spiteful, rather skill less, disjointed game with far too many errors. A 6-2 bench comes back to bite Rennie in the arse.

Two HIA is less than common. But we were beaten in the forwards well before that mattered.

Must know a little bit as so many of your team were born here and you keep hiring our coaches...

C'mon NTA you should be better than that! I actually thought the YC was for stopping the player after penalty, before he had gone 10, but regardless we all know fould play rightly or wrongly takes predecence, always has, if someone is offside and you smack him, that rules out offside.

Very close to a PT - could say there was cover as two boks were coming across. Surprised Pickerill didn't reverse it for the Wallabies getting within 5m of the line

I just disagree that we're calling that foul play to start with. BUT if we are:
A few minutes later, Kolisi whacks Wright in the chops, but that's play on because Wright's head was.... about as low as the other incident.
Call both or call neither.

That's not what happened at all.

People talked a lot about the Bok changes and the Wallabies stability, but really it doesn't matter in this context.
The Bok game plan lends itself to personnel change; it is simple, straightforward, and well suited to Test rugby. Swap a few parts and it doesn't matter. Tonight they added a bit of finesse to that with some nice back line play. We can talk up Moodie for catching a ball and running fast, unopposed, to the line. South Africa have heaps of wingers who could do that.
They also have heaps of forwards who can grind you into dust.
Australia has a game plan that simply isn't going to work if we can't hold onto the ball, and man did we suck at that tonight. One more body in each ruck would help if they knew how to hit rucks.
