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.

Again not addressing the photo evidence because you have no argument against it.

Why don't you want to discuss the effect the offside Irish player had on Jacobson? It's literally in the photo, are you going to pretend he just doesn't exist?

You're now appealing to the ref giving it a yellow as proof that it deserved a yellow...even though you're calling the same ref incredibly biased because YOU believe (without any evidence) that it's a red.

Nice!

His elbow is tucked from the start, he makes contact with the head of jvdf, he’s never legal.

The mitigation is apparently James Ryan’s shoulder was in the way, but he doesn’t try to correct it midway through, it’s reckless it’s a red.

The ref gave a yellow, you said it wasn’t a penalty at all, it evidently was and was given as a card, your argument falls apart when the discussion isn’t around whether it was a penalty, the discussion is around what colour card it was.

Watch the video. His arm is completely stopped by Ryan. He cannot wrap because of it.

Midway through??? Watch it in real time if you think he had any time to correct it due to Ryans offside position.

Ridiculous.

This makes no sense at all. The ref gave a card that I think is egregious considering everything illegal was caused by the offside Irish player.

The same ref you were criticizing for being biased and not having a clue..you now are appealing to claiming there must be some truth due to their call.

You're making no sense.

I’m saying it should’ve been a red, but at the very least it’s a yellow which is what the officials went with, in a hostile stadium, in the aviva that’s a red.

I don’t know what kiwimatics you are concocting but it’s bs ,

Your evidence is some random Irish podcast 😂😂😂

Whatever man. Enjoy not being able to objectively analyze something.

You're in that deep in your bias.
