Yeah the Criminals second fifteen only lost by 40 odd to NZ's third team. Great depth for a diving team. 32. The referees are beginning to favour dominant scrums and I expect the Criminals to do as well as their second team. The TN win was a blimp after the AB's were forced to play so soon after a very tough match against the RSA. 157 Is that a typo? 52 - 12 you meant? 218 Perhaps that Lima is near the top of the RWC try scoring list. Probably scored more than England. Check it out at the IRB site. 234. The Boks game winning try came from a ruck where a Tongan was spear tackled. Was that a travesty? 28.

Ball in hand, fast and a great swerve In the tackle, a bit of a thug - unfortunately like many polynesian players - and I should know, I would have played rugby with or against over 2000 of them.

And we're talking World Cup citings, because this is where all this sh!t started. If Burger got cited, so should Hayman. I count 4 from 4 :) IMHO Mitchells spear was almost a carbon copy of the tackle that got the yank centre 5 games.

If anything, the Boks got better treatment on that occasion as Skinstad didn't get a card either. Mitchell's tackle wasn't that bad IMO. I do agree with you though that Moore and Thomas should have been cited. So out of the 4, you are right on 2 IMO. ;-) katman,

The boks got klapped in that last ten minutes did they not? At one stage i was asking "why are the boks standing still while the AB`s are running past them?" Afterwards the boks told JW "we got tired". HiHiHiHi!!! Bye for now. Durban docs,

Thats fine if you look at it like that. The problem comes in when Tonga were also blatently commiting professional fouls by colapsing our rolling maul and nothing happened to them. Consistant???????

The Boks have been cited twice in this world cup. Burger was dumb and got a ban. The initial one was harsh, and it was reduced on appeal. If there was a conspiracy, the appeal panel could have increased it! The second incident was for a biting allegation. The IRB had to look into it. They had to cite Steyn to bring about the case. They found him not guilty on the charge and completely exonerated him. One guilty, one innocent verdict. The wheels of justice keep a turning ;-) Durban,
