Targeting a player for an injury isn't anything new to the dark side of the All Blacks..... them destroying O'Driscoll ruined a Lions tour once. (mind you, they'd still win it 3-0, but still!)
Yep it made me think of that.

NZ foot in the ruck there, so cynical, probably should have been another yellow.

Barnsy ain’t falling for New Zealand’s ‘hang around where the 9 would be’ tactic. Faf making it obvious as well

Faf de Klerk looks like the type of guy who would try it on with your gf even if you were standing there next to her.
then turn up to her funeral and claim he fingered her.

There's probably loads of wee mistakes made by the ref in rugby like there does be in footy but you are alot more accepting of them because they are explained live Real time what the ref sees and thinks.

for the last major sport to adopt video technology, they have done their best to ignore any part of it that works well in the rest of them.

My parents are watching this on holiday in Namibia.

Safe to say the locals are cheering on NZ.

Jesus that was a bad call.
The tactic for players in that spot, when they’re pulling a player to the ground and folding over them for the jackal, is to open their hands and show both palms to the ref (for a split second). Then it’s obvious you’ve released.

I did think that one was harsh, but it was extremely tight and at full speed not an obvious release

NZ too slow in the breakdown. SA will pick that apart.

Sam Cane in trouble here, that wasn't a good tackle and he'll be lucky if this is only a yellow.
