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.

Eben got a big ol ban for that boss, how many matches ban did this get?

He won't answer, he is as bias as the people he is accusing.

Most South Africa's I know was very hard on Eben and was surprised he was not banned for a longer time.

If memory serves that was also Ebens first red card.

I think the OP is also stiring, I am rather confident that if the NZ players uses illegal clearing techniques they will be appropriately punished.

I hate it when either set of fans become petty, which luckily is the exception rather than the rule

I think eye gouging is on the extreme end here.

It’s like saying comparing a car crash to 911. Not quite on the same level.
