There is a huge difference between trying to ply the guys hands off from u and hitting a guy as he turns away. Broussouw tried to loosen himself from the player who illegally hanged on to him , at one stage he just gave up and appealed to the touch judge. This type of stupidness was going on from the start and I say stupidness cos the Samoans can play much much better if they apply themselves to just playing the game and not off the ball supid things.
Now , onto Broussouw , he has till now never milked a penalty or shied away from any type of contact , I would say he either was caught off guard as he turned his back or he was gatvol and this was already almost the 70th min or he milked a red card.
Given the history of the player and the vis evidence I would say its a combo of being gatvol and getting striked off guard . He really did not expect it and fell over but then he realized what it could mean and stayed down to milk it further. My opinion.
All in all , a good win for SA , on track so far. I wish Morne Steyn would stop kicking sooooo much and we need to relook our bench again , the 5-2 split almost cost us. The forwards played well but when is Fourie Du preez gonna get it right ? He is way too off the pace , once again we were reminded a little how valuable John Smit is as a leader , just play without him and u can see, Victor Matfield is not a captain , most of the group talking Schalk took over and on that topic , isn't Schalk Burger showing excellent improvement on his general play ? On current form he is SA most valued player.
with my rants and raves.
