Prolongation pour Saito

There wouldn't be much sympathy if he got targeted and injured.

also how did the Boks coach ignore the ban? he spent his 12months out of all stadiums and was no longer part of coaching staff. When did he attack Wayne Barnes again? he was banned for criticizing Nic Berry and has since avoided the spotlight in doing the same…. but hey if you have anything other than opinion i am happy to be proved wrong.

Head coaches that have been sanctioned/banned: Dave Rennie, Michael Cheika, Eddie Jones, Erasmus

Head coaches that narrowly avoided sanctions or received warnings only after issuing apologies or their union issuing an apology: Dave Rennie, Michael Cheika, Fabian Galithe, Heneke Meyer, Eddie Jones

Probably the best in the game before injury ruled him out of the 2019 RWC. What might have been!

Either way it's a test of Razor and his culture. If he's good enough as a coach, any player will improve and he finished pretty strong at the end of the last test season.

I respect Galthié’s views on player welfare. Although Dupont was thrown back into the RWC with a broken face when they'd a sniff of winning it.

I don't think they disrespect the fixture but it seems they don't really fancy their chances.

I like the lad. Lovely player but that was proper funny!

Plenty just focus on the third test which was a convincing win.

If Beale didn't spanner his kick at the end of the first test, it could have been a very different series.

I still fancy Australia to win the series.

His goal-kicking has been far more consistent this year compared to previous years too.

DMac was exposed somewhat in the finals series, where Barrett was lauded for his performances so I think he is the front-runner at this point.

you talk about cheating and provide only your opinion. Do some players bend the rules and try advantage their team? absolutely and that is not unique to the saffers and as a flanker/backrower is almost your job to do. i would say the great Richie McCaw was one of the best at it. There were plenty of flankers as skilled as him but none came close to how he approached the game and understood when and where to push the limits. play the cards your dealt and adapt to the ref.

Now saying the Boks are cheating because their TMOs and stadiums did or didnt do something is ridiculous. to suggest that the stadium is bias sure, becuase like every nation the broadcasters are rarely impartial. But to imply that the boks somehow instructed the stadiums to do it or had some influence? come on! Does that door swing the other way? what about Ioane’s try against the wallabies where he clearly stepped out but the Wellington TMO didnt pick it up and they stopped the replays….. are they cheaters too or did SARU pay sky sports to sway the ABs result too? what about the 2011 RWC final? what about the BOD spear tackle in B&I lions?. Refs make mistakes, sometimes small sometime big.

Josh Jacombs looked like a deer in highlights in the Super Rugby Final. When McKenzie was injured and Jacomb did not have McKenzie to lean on, he looked lost.

Ruben Love simply has not played enough rugby at 10 at Super Rugby level to start a test match, although I would have no issues with Love coming off the bench to cover 10.
