South Africa put in a monster performance at the weekend against Los Pumas, but some fans aren’t happy at the way the scum was policed ..
Have a look below, surely that’s an early push?

Scrums with such a big "hit" like these ought to be such blatant early shoves (hardly ever penalised though).https://t.co/zNt52smGXQ

Ref clearly says set. The timing was excellent, and it is so because they only do live scrums in practice. They are like a 100m sprinter who knows exactly when the gun is going to sound
I suggest that you concentrate on things that concern you rather than your anti SA sentiment over and over and over.
I’d argue that Argentina were poor at the set and didn’t take it well. Technique and timing problem from their side more than an early shove. Just look at the difference in PSDT’s engagment vs. the ARG flank. Not very clear, but also look at ARG tightheads engagement, also poor
Argentina did not back away. SA did the hit and then an immediate shove. Refs cannot ref the scrums properly because it’s too technical. We saw it during the WC.
At one stage in the game, the South African players can be heard complaining that the Argentinian players were not taking the hit when the Ref called set. This video is a classic example of that.
