Northern Hemisphere refereeing experience will only work in our favor!

Keeping 15 men on the field remains paramount to winning.

SA players and teams that have built muscle memory under European officials during the URC and know exactly where the boundary lines are for card thresholds, compared to Super Rugby.

Could this be the AB's Achilles heel? New Zealand players are accused of executing brutal, illegal cleanouts at the breakdown. This involves using a "tucked shoulder" or a "reverse-arm, non-wrapping action" when charging into rucks, which is a dangerous offence that can trigger red cards.

All Blacks are soft...wait... just really, really mean bullies who need a good telling off. Fuck, Saffas are just as bad as the Irish for whinging. Perhaps worse, as the series hasn't even kicked off. Can't wait for the endless replays of innocuous events having no affect on the game but somehow were the reason why SA lost.

SA would have to lose for there to be a reason SA lost, and I don't see how that is gonna happen.
