Citing commissioner too,
Once again world rugby showing it's one rule for England, another for everyone else.

Meh, marginal calls happen - everyone's been on the end of them, England included.
What really sucks is an England international having his ban extended for being named in the England squad.
Another England international getting banned for an accidental high shot while an Ireland international did exactly the same, in the same game, and didn't even get penalised.
Rugby loves the English though - like Scotland refusing to display the England flag, and putting out a second Scottish flag instead. Imagine what would happen if the RFU refuse to allow NZ to fly their flag and do the haka this weekend.

Meh, they're deflecting from throwing a game away that they should have won. Its the beginning of a four week tour and they're a side with less than a 50% win rate this year so negativity isn't an option at this stage. Even if the message they're spewing is humourless and toxic the language used is all positive, this serves a purpose. They're definitely focusing on themselves and France behind closed doors, if something similar happens against Wales and its the same carry on that's time to worry.Sorry the Springboks staff have lost the plot, I may agree with them that it should of been a penalty but if it occurred 20 minutes earlier in the match or they they won they would not even be talking about it. Its because they lost and they coin a phrase I hate "they lost get over it".
I'm loosing my respect for them with each passing day ion this ts quite honestly pathetic they know whats legal or not, they know whats borderline. They will have private conversations with Nigel Owens in the coming days about whats expected and not and clarifications for any tactics that might be used.
This public stuff really just is sour grapes to loosing a match, deflection from answering questions about how they lost a match they should of comfortably won and making their fans feel vindicated in their victim complex.

I hate it when people say 'leading with the shoulder' penalty. Thats how you know they've never ever played.
When you go to tackle the tackle bags at training, what part of your body should come into contact with the bag first?
'Leading with the shoulder' my ass.

Its probably more obvious to you guys in the north. Down here, we take it word for word. 'Leading with the shoulder' doesn't even have any mention of the arm wrap. Maybe it would be more obvious if it was 'leading with the shoulder with no arm wrap'. We just call it 'shoulder charge' lol. In the tackle you should always go in with the shoulder and arms together.i thought it was obvious but apparently not. What this means when the arm of the shoulder that 'leads' makes no attempt to wrap, like in Farrell's case it was by his side.

No, no, no. That is NOT the problem here.but at the end of the day do we want tackles like that in the game or not?
