[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 919763, member: 40658"] The less there is said about Farrel's tackle, the better. I think Rassie said it best in his interview after the game, look at it from the 2:24 mark: [MEDIA=youtube]kWrff_ean-s[/MEDIA] ButI don't want to talk about that, as it shouldn't be a talking point as to an opportunity where we could've won the match, it was far, and close to the corner, and I don't think Pollard or Elton would've slotted it over that far out. But what did irk me about that incident, is that it was just a the culmination of several bad calls by Mr. Gardner. I thought he was absolutely pathetic in the middle. [LIST] [*]The first four scrums England got, Youngs threw the ball in under the lock's feet. [*]Sinkler was scrummaging inwards the whole game, wasn't once penalised for that. [*]The several high hits, and neck rolls on players - all went unpunished, not even a consult. [*]the last 4 minutes of the game, the England team was constantly offside, and in the lead up to the Farrel incident, there was another high tackle on a South African player which he also missed. [/LIST] As for the game. I can't believe we lost. Like seriously, we were outclassing the England team in nearly every instance apart from the scorecard. I think our biggest problem was decisionmaking, apart from the handling errors of course. Hey Siya, when you are 8 to 7 in a pack with a very good scrum, why kick for a lineout every time only to overthrow it every time??? Why not scrum them over??? And why keep on going for the lineout, and keep on throwing to the back? Their one jumper is in the bin, THROW TO THE GUY AT THE FU****** FRONT!!!!! [/QUOTE]
