[QUOTE="bargepole, post: 1051288, member: 85170"] Back in August 2002, in a Tri-Nations game between SA and NZ, a Bok supporter, clearly unhappy with referee David McHugh's decisions, ran on to the pitch and assaulted the referee, dislocating his shoulder. He was punched by Richie McCaw, and wrestled to the ground by forwards from both teams, then thrown out of the ground. Following that game, SA struggled to win any games against Tier 1 opposition, culminating in a 53-3 defeat by England in December, and then losing to England again 25-6 in the 2003 RWC Pool game. They were thumped by NZ and Australia in that year's Tri-Nations as well. Could Rassie's toy-throwing rant have a similar effect on future Springbok results? [/QUOTE]
