[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 337085, member: 38640"] For a start Rene Ranger's tackle was not illegle in any way. He tried to get both arms around and didn't lead with the sholder, yet he still got penalised which lead to a try, so SA benefited from a mistake that was never made. So that goes out the window. Woodcock should have been yellowed, but that is the only isolated incedent which is a tough call (and has nothing to do with the Springboks, though Kirshner should have been yellowed for a high tackle in Wellington, so let's call it even). McCaw was never personally penalised four times during any match, he was penalised three times in Wellington, but also received a team warning for the same offence. NZ have done no spear tackles during this Tri Nations, so they have never been cited for one. If you have a problem with refereeing standard in the last two matches, blame the South African's that were reffing. [/QUOTE]
