Woops! Looks like I need a comprehension lesson. Moving on...

Probably have Stannard at 10 and maybe push Ripia out to 12 (dropping Fairbanks to the bench)? I really think Stannard needs to be in the starting 15, because without him there isn't anyone who offers much in terms of creativity.

The danger from the Saffas perspective is if he catches R. Pienaar / F. Steyn Disease - shifting around the backline, experience a drop in form, stagnate in their development, and then fuck off to Europe.

See I think that they can do it. There are a few examples in the video I've posted below, but the one that stands out to me is the backline move that starts at 1:25 in. And that is the reason it frustrates me to no end that we went away from that Cooper-Barnes nexus, or even tried...

To be fair though, at times the Wallabies backline has looked to be one of the best in the world on attack. It's not consistent, but it has been there when the combinations are right.

Should be cited, banned forever, and have his provisional knighthood stripped and shredded! In all seriousness, probably won't get anything for it.

Hasn't B-Lawrence come under criticism for doing the exact same thing? I'd rather the referees be accurate than ignoring blatant infringements that either give one side an advantage due to their superior adaptiveness to the free-for-all, or result in a total clusterfuck at the breakdown.

It definitely played a part in his performance. Results from psychological research suggests that the home crowd can influence the ref by causing them to swallow their whistle to avoid negative appraisal for penalizing the home team. This has the appearance of making it seem the ref is biased...

If Joubert had been his usual self and not morphed into Bryce Lawrence then France would have won that.

Not for long, not even sure that South Africans would let him back in the country after that performance.

So it took New Zealand to play at home with a home referee to win it. Tainted win.

Trust motherfucking Joubert to give that penalty.

Joubert really has just swallowed his whistle.

Joubert is looking afraid to call a penalty.

The choke is on!

Dusatoir!

Have the stars aligned?

It's time for the Duck! Every New Zealander just shat their pants, and I creamed mine!

Accidental knee from McCaw, learning from experience I guess!

Yachvilli doesn't usually make mistakes like that from his box-kick. Ominous?
