Yea tough to argue against a red there. Basically tackling standing straight up. A shame that it had to happen in the final.

But then when you see a blatant hit in de Groot’s face, which doesn’t even apparently warrant a look, or Faf knocking on at the back of a scrum where forward is now backward, or cynical poo poo like Etzebeth changing his line to deliberately obstruct a pass, it starts to feel like the two teams are being judged on different standards.

You can add du Toit grabbing Smith in that scrum to that list.

Kolisi needs to go. They set the standard earlier with Cane, so if Kolisi’s yellow isn’t upgraded, that’s primo bullshit.

I don’t even think that is a card to be honest.
