    You gotta love Mallett.

    I hope they don't let him go.

    Even Sean Fitzpatrick was sympathetic at the poor decisions. And the Ozzie and NZ commentators are normally a little biased. So it must have been quite a farce for them to be sympathizing with the SA guys.

    He's not the first and won't be the last to have a poor performance as a ref.

    I know, but to be honest it was a below par performance by the Boks. To focus only on the ref when the team has a lot of work to do would also not help.

    I actually thought we did ok but some poor performance from experienced players. You are right that we can blame the ref all we want(even though some decisions really did screw us) .

    So IRB admitted the mistake which means this...

    We hit them so hard in the first scrum that I thought that this going to be one of those epic battles, but alas the ref had other ideas.

    We still had to do much more to win the game.

    IRB statement: http://www.irb.com/newsmedia/mediazo...d=2068799.html

    Basically they admit it was wrong of the ref to issue a yellow card to Bismarck.
