That seemed to have been a different level of reffing.

Never been a fan of the end justifying the means. The whole saga leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

The boks were on top for the last 60min so you tend to get the decisions when you are on top

Reversal of last week, Boks got the rub of the green.

But they were good value for the win, just as Lions were last week.

Congratulations to South Africa :thumbup:

I've watched the greatest documentary of the 21st century (aka "Rassie does Nic Berry") twice now. It's like a Clogs and Insane Homer ref take down from years back, but in video form, and presented by the highest ranking (Director of Rugby) and lowest ranking (Water Boy) person in SA rugby.

Having seen the chaos it caused. How it silenced Gatland in all interviews (a world first?). And the result in this match. It's hard not to think that what really gets to people about Rassie, is there's a South African Director of Rugby/Water Boy, able to out think opponents. There was never a reaction like this when De Villiers or Straeuli or whoever were doing crazy/stupid/eccentric things.

How the Lions were able to illegally nullify the Bok maul in the first test, and in the second test were f**king nowhere at maul time, was the most noticeable thing. An area the Director of Rugby/Water Boy highlighted.

There’s a funny moment in the match when Rassie can’t understand why the Boks haven’t won the ball (around 50-55 mins in) and the actual Safa waterboy has to explain the laws to him (edit - maul straight off a kick).

The reason the Safa maul wasn’t any good last week because they didn’t mail (they only had 4 line outs last week).

You see, we know it doesn't matter what we do foreigners will never respect us. To us you're irrelevant.

It was good that Rassie stood up and pointed out Kolisi was being disrespected. That Kolisi pointed out the correct law to the ref, ref turned his back on Kolisi and laughed, then the ref did his own thing. Rassie took the flak to make the job of the boy he scouted from school easier. Massive respect from the overwhelming majority of Bok fans for that, that's a real leader, and that's all we care about.

Keiran Read also pointed out a correct law to a ref in an even more crucial B&I Lions test and also got nowhere. I don't recall any crying by coach or player about him being direspected. In fact that took that series draw and shitty call better then the Boks or Lions would have, the way they've both been carrying on.

Wasn't working, Berry needed to be confronted publicly that he was treating Kolisi differently (surely we can all agree from what we can see of the man a decent/humble/polite man who plays fair and has achieved a fair bit in the sport). Kolisi himself has said this week he's struggled with being ignored by refs and he's considered not being polite.

Itoje knelled on De Allende's neck, then dived with his hands in the air full soccer style when De Allende reacted with hardly anything. Biggar ran into his own player, then dived onto the ground clutching his back/kidneys, only to get up fully recovered when he realised it wasn't a Springbok he ran into (f**king hilarious). This is professionalism, this is the game now. Of course the ref is going to be crucified if he's shithouse. All the soccer elements of professionalism have been coming in for years.

So here's the problem for you. Kolisi is an example of someone resisting all this, and what happens to him? Tells the ref the correct law, ref turns his back on him and laughs.

Yeh..you're not getting it

I don't want to go down a rabbit hole talking about individual events in the match..thats irrelevant to me

What annoyed most people will be the way he carried on in a public arena and crucified mostly one individual

Just because you perceive someone being treated differently on the rugby field does not give you the right to do what he did ..in the manner he did it..and all under the guise of "rugby director/waterboy" ..whatever the hell he is now

That's not the correct protocol..for obvious reasons

And doing it after his team lost as well..stinks of bad sportsmanship.. surely you can see this..maybe not..if not I can't help you

Yes he was humiliated in a situation where he had no power. Just like Kolisi in the test he reffed. Shrug.

It wasn't about that match though was it. Because the Boks hadn't lost the series, it was about the next two matches. Gatland has carried on for f**king years in the media. Shrug.

Commenting as a coach via regular media interviews vs an hour long blow by blow attempt to crucify critique of an official with associated footage isn’t the same thing in my mind.
