    That's shocking. Barnes isn't acting in situations where players may get seriously injured

    Japan have got some great decisions in all games.

    Brown envelopes?

    I hope SA win. The decisions for japan this tournament have been a farce bordering on a conspiracy.

    I have to say I agree with Barnes
    Saffer ran past the ball into the jap

    LeRoux is a complete plonker.

    That’s a horrendous call. Clearly took him around the neck. How can Barnes say that’s been looked at with a straight face?

    Willie Le Roux is a shadow of the player he once was

    Le Roux in form like this is costing SA so many opportunities.

    Amazing how selective they are in picking up fouls

    I mean he was right in front of Barnes and it was the most blatantly obvious pass.

    Barnes has made some horrible calls but let's not be ridiculous now....

    Looking at it again that tackle in the air was worse than the incident that got Folau sent off against us on the Oz tour. I'm honestly amazed at that decision (or non decision) from Barnes.

    Think the point is Japan are getting none of theirs called

    It was clearly forward however Japan have had passes in the first half that were more forward and no call against them.

    In one fell tournament referreeing has been completely devalued in my opinion.

    He can't overtly deny SA everything but he is definitely giving Japan the rub of the green here.

    There was a segment in the first half where Japan threw three FP in about 2-3 phases. I agree it was a forward pass but you'd be questioning things if you were a SAF player.

    Thought that was going to be a classic "2 players on the same team running in to each other" there. :)

    There's been a huge degree of favoritism towards Japan throughout the tournament. The great underdog story for Japan has a fair bit of stench attached to it considering how much money the sport can make by turning Japan into a big power.

    Japan seem to be running out if ideas. They're starting to kick it away
