[QUOTE="stormer2010, post: 291331"] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (An Tarbh @ Dec 2 2009, 11:22 AM) [url='index.php?act=findpost&pid=424880']<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/url]</div> You say it yourself; "most incidents" which does not equate to all whatsoever, especially considering the circumstances. Saying that SA not citing in the past comes down to only half the tests falling into this category is also clutching at straws. If you want to qualify this, name instances where SA has in the past cited in this window. I can tell you that there are precious little. As for the example of Quinlan I don't think my fellow countryman wanted to say one can't blame Burger for his stupidity as half of SA did, I think he is merely pointing out that this is no isolated incident and one needs too look at your own house before throughing stones. As for this insistance that Heaslip is innocent; it comes accross to me as childish and simpleminded. I know Saffers are dumb and thuggish, yes (and we must be past help this coming from the Irish) but just suspend your disbelieve for a second and consider that Heaslip might have actually gotten fingers to the eyes of Brussouw and that Brussouw rubbing his eyes and Bekker retaliating might not be a conspiracy cooked up on the field by SA.
