[QUOTE="mjrTom, post: 152882"] the boks greatly upset me yesterday. but then i noticed something...when the score was 20 - 20 none of the boys seemed worried. heck some of them were smiling and laughing. i know its not a great idea to play with the lions tail, but it really seemed like the boks were taking the game lightly in order to keep them from injuries. i know it sounds like im making excuses for a horrible performance of rugby, but im not. it WAS a shitty game. but i dont think the bokke are shitty. argentina and then france better watch themselves in the next two games...cause i am sure there is a lot more antler to the boks than you guys think. java script:emoticon(':rahh:', 'smid_20') :rahh: (and yes, i said france...the pommies are out next weekend. sorry guys, i dont like the french either, but thats just the way of the world) Are you mad? The ref warned Rabeni 3 times for high tackles then he got a card, that's fair. There were also other high tackles that went unpunished by the ref and it could have cost Fiji even more so they were lucky in that department. [/b][/quote] After watching the replay, it was clear that the tackle wasn't as high as it seemed, and it also showed that Rabeni had his arms out to use in the tackle but the hit was so hard the player just bounced off his shoulder. The main problem with refereeing in this world cup has been so many uncessary penalties for supposed 'foul play' that have turned out to be nothing. Sure, there were a couple of other times in that game were Fiji were lucky to get away with a high shot but I felt this tackle was ok. Anyways, I find it hilarious that Springbok supporters are having such a whinge about dangerous tackling techniques. Next you'll find us Wallaby supporters putting down other teams for bad scrummaging and losing to weaker sides. :D [/b][/quote] come on dude. the reason we are having such a "whinge" about all those high tackles is because we made it to the SF's and we dont want the springboks to be injured. for a while it almost looked as if the fiji'ites were payed to hurt our players. when you become an internationally recognized team you should stop with dangerous shenanigans like those. yes accidents happen...but there is consequences. the worst part is that fiji scored twice on us with only 14 men. shitty shitty game overall.
