Random facts about the ref - ex-cop and it's his birthday today (38), handed out 9 yellow cards in the 8 matches he has refereed, not including today.

Yeah, there are 4 countries in the comp, wouldn't be too difficult to have every game reff'd by a neutral Southern hemisphere ref...probably cheaper as well.

If the ABs hang on to win, do they get any more points in the irb rankings? My IBM supercomputer can't work out the IRB convoluted system

Don't think so.

Vermulen vs the ground. .the ground won.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

That should be a Yellow Card against the Saffers for lifting their mate beyond the horizontal and not bringing him to ground safely.

Do the Laws allow someone to be penalised for being unsafe against their own team?

 

[Blake]

Don't think so.

I think if they win by 15 or more...

I have to say that Poite is usually good. Not today. I'd say he owes South Africa 14 points an a world class hooker.

4 try bonus - yeehaa

how many of them correctly adjudicated?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

The return match in Safferland will be massive.

Congratulations.

Geeze I wonder if this ref was bullied at school by rugby jocks.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Some slight "justice" there with a YC to Read.

 

[Bairdy]

Nonu with a couple of classic Sleeping Kiwis down near the AB line. Saved the ABs bacon.

14 plays 13.

 

[biggsy]

Well the saffas have crashed heavy back to earth after this drumming... Looking at the score line like most folk do outside GNG

AB's are just to good, from there quick clean out, to there perfect body height.
I think mid week training video for the rest of the comp should not be analysing how to beat them but how they play the game.

 

[whatty]

Starting to believe we are a better team 15 v 15

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Finally got Nonu for a shoulder charge. Just had to learn French to get it.

Nonu...is there a shake my head in exasperation emoticon?
