[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 337281, member: 20605"] Swings and roundabouts guys ► Ranger probably should have been binned and he wasn't. ► Franks should [B]not[/B] have been binned and he was. ► Kirchner should have been binned and wasn't ► Bakkies should have been sent off and he wasn't (suspended later but it didn't affect that game). ► Rossouw should [B]not[/B] have been binned and he was. ► Mitchell should only have been binned for the second offence should[B] not [/B]have got a red card ► Woodcock should have been binned an wasn't All other cards were fully deserved. And as for this comment... My reply is... Don't be fooled by this BS that somehow the Boks are always being hard done by. The fact is they have been given more yellow and red cards since introduced than any other international team, and by a wide margin. To suggest they have not been deserved is to suggest that referees world wide have picked on the Boks for the last 10 years, and puts us right back into the lunatic world of conspiracy theories. Two more important things to consider. 1. The team under pressure is most likely to resort to illegalities, and if nothing else, the Boks have been under a lot of pressure in all their matches so far. 2. The number of penalties awarded does not accurately reflect which teams infringe more. You must also take into account "gained advantages", that is where a [U][I]penalty[/I][/U] advantage is awarded but the non-infringing team gains an advantage so a penalty kick is therefore not awarded and does not appear in the match stats. In the first Tri-Nations test, the penalty & free kick count favoured the Springboks 12-5. However, the "gained advantages" favored the All Blacks 9-3. Add these up and it comes to 15-14 in favour of the Boks, much much closer! [/QUOTE]
