The whinging about the ref on here is hilarious. You weren't complaining when the ref handed the Lions the series last year.

Again, not whinging about the ref saying it affected the result, just saying he had a bad performance for both sides.

It wasn't a yellow but the complaining is a bit much. NZ had upped it after half time and were utterly dominant in the period leading to the card.

They were still going to win comfortably regardless of the officiating.

I've heard 'the All Blacks would have won anyway' for years now. It's no excuse.

I'll also leave this here. No yellow.

Like I said, whinging.

Why would that be a yellow? Ball carrier was dropping and then there's a head clash.

Just because you hate the All Blacks doesn't mean there's a conspiracy to help them win.

Now now, ,the Kiwi commentators and Sean Fitzpatrick all were saying the exact same thing.

I mean there’s a pretty fair case for two cards there, yellow and red. Cane is high to the head but wraps, and the prop just smashes his shoulder into Grosso’s (who is in hospital with concussion btw) head.

If it was anyone other than the ABs I’d say the prop would definitely be looking at a citing and a few weeks on the sidelines but it’s probably only about a 50/50 chance.

Strange that we seem to disproportionately 'whinge' about New Zealand players isn't it?

Who hates them?
Who said it's a conspiracy?

They got lenient calls. It seems to happen often. If it is happening, it's due to their stature and success, and the pressure that puts on referees. They're only human.

Also, because they're so fúcking brilliant, they are clinical in how they take advantage. Every time.

A shoulder to the face is not a head clash.

For the same reason SBW was sent off.

As pointed out on twitter by a BBC reporter, almost the exact same tackle led to a yellow and a red in a Sarries match last year.

This was the aberration.

I thought SBW used no arms, which is why he got a red?

18 was shoulder to head. If its first contact then you're looking at a possible red. But probably could argue he used his arms.

Still think he'd be cited most weeks.

Who do we think wins the next one? Can see SA edging it by 3 or 4

Pretty hard to say really, who knows where SA are at!

Hey. We had a deal.

What a kick! Only 61 meters out

That was embarrassingly bad defending by South Africa

SA making Brown look like Lomu

ScrubsfanChris

Everyone’s favorite player Mike Brown in the corner. Very poor tackling

awec

Long day ahead for the boks

Minderbinder

Camera work is shocking.

P.Walnuts

SA look very very poor so far

Not wanting could kick up a hornets nest, but what's the current selection policy for the boks?

I'm genuinely ignorant on the subject

awec

This is men against boys

PhlegmyMoses

England aren't even having to work hard for it.

ScrubsfanChris

This is becoming embarrassing

BBDBB

All very impressive, but are England tactically actually doing much different to their 6N performances?

Think we was lucky to not get a yellow card if he had hit DeClerk

Awful error from Daly

Throwing it away
