Rocky gets cited for that?????????????

[Jehna]

What about Steyn taking Mitchell out in the air...admittedly he seemed to do more damage to himself but that was far more dangerous

[force addict]

what about Butch James' high tackle/shoulder on mortlock? in the first minutes

[Jess]

What about Schalk throwing punches?

How about citing the whole team!

[force addict]

the #2 on bokke team was warned for something too

[travelling_gerry]

Burgers squirrel hold on George Smith?

[lara93]

but i think george smith was tryin to make burger throw punches
and when burger did..it was to get smith 2 let go of his jersey
steyn didnt even end up tackling mitchell
he just did more harm 2 himself then good
but drew was nice to alert the bok medical staff

[robyn <3]

burger has major issues. was it smith in the ruck he decided to step on and punch and kick... just to get the ball? when time was OFF!? i was nearly in tears. that really wrecked the game for me

james was also a problem for me. all those high balls he was aiming to hurt not catch. dirty dirty play...

there was nothing in rocky's tackle. he should get off with nothing...

[lara93]

it was to get the ball
i think schalk was pretty good but smith was trying to make him agro and punch

[robyn <3]

it was just a disgusting thing to do. any normal person would have picked the ball up or taken it from the person. there is no need to throw punches around at anyone...

[lara93]

he wasnt puching...just hittin smith so that smith would let go of his jersey

How about citing the whole team!

Here Here

Bok number 2 would be cited for that headbutt on Cordingly, wasn't a shoulder charge. Schaulk Burger you are a twat, good justification for throwing punches lara............not. Schaulk is a brainless ugly caveman.

While their citing people, they should cite DeVilliers for being a useless coach and a puppet, and Victor Matfield for being an arguementative twat with no soul
