What a cracking final that was on Saturday night between the powerhouses of Rugby Union. After the game there’s been a lot of talking online of the style of rugby the South Africans played.
A video has come out online now of the complaining the Springbok players use do compared to the All Blacks.. This is something we don’t want coming into the game, should Wayne Barnes have given a card for the constant complaining?

Correct but you also need to hold your face or neck whilst on the ground

The countdown has already begun for the Six Nations, Ireland will play France in the opening game at the Stade de France in Paris. Ireland and France will really feel they left this tournament behind them..
It’s sad an in my eyes rugby is a contact sport an collisions are what the game is about if your a cry baby play touch if this continues it will no longer be my favourite sport
OK rugby is a tough sport. The Springboks have never played fair. To use a forearm instead of a tackle is not rugby more like a brawl. To my feeble old brain the man should have been carded there and then with a red but I bet he wasn’t.
I do not believe the Springboks should not have won and I have a feeling that Webb- Ellis was turning in his grave at that blatant foul play.
who is blind here. Going into the tackle Etsebeth’s arm was against his chest. Please go and watch the other angles that show this. They will then show how your player was pushed away. All this whinging is making a mockery of the country New Zealand
I’m starting to feel sorry for you guys…. This one hurt, didn’t it?
Go look again, Savea did lie on the ground and hold his head – just like Kriel did… no difference.
You’ve shown the Etzebeth forearm… the risk was introduced by the NZ players upright tackling position, not Etzebeth’s fault the ABs don’t know how to tackle.
Here’s some examples for you to look at of foul play by NZ:
1.) No-arms tackle by black 18 on Nche (green 18) at 75:20 – Kickable
2.) Clearout on 21 (Kwagga Smith) deep in NZ half at 77:10 – shoulder to the head – could have been a red. Kickable
What did Beaudy do when Arendse contested for kicks? He tried to milk a penalty. What did Talea do when Faf ran into him on defence- fell on the ground and stayed there… to milk a penalty. After it was awarded, he jumped back up and ran back no issues…
I’m glad the All-black players aren’t as soft as there supporters!
