It’s been a great series so far it’s been awesome having the Irish in town! S.A fans absolutely love the Irish and I reckon tomorrows game is gonna be another step up. Here’s hoping for a good clean contest and no dodgy referee calls- Irish can feel a bit done in there last weekend. Boks will have to be way more accurate for Ireland’s season finale for sure.I think the bench might be the difference for the Boks but if Ireland get off to a flyer anything can happen! Good luck to both teams but go Boks!
The Jonny Sexton approach really doesn't work with refs. They were happy that he was gone with his' constant nagging, know it all attitude and permanent scowl. Look at how POM approaches the ref and you will see more patience with him, regardless of questioning a call.
The problem is not that the ref is not listening to Doris. Its the fact that Doris kept nagging the ref continuously even after the ref telling him that he doesn't need him shouting at him all game. He needed to adapt at that moment, that's what great captains do.
Great captains look after their teams, it was proven that Pearse had a shocker of a game while Doris was probably the best player on the park. Go back look at the game you’ll see and hear kolise constantly in the referees ear. For Doris asked the referee to look back at the Casey incident he refused he was 100% wrong as he clearly missed an offside. He was also annoyed at Doris asking to view his own try , but he did review that probably the quickest review Ive ever seen of a goal line try. I think when Andy Farrell says Doris was right in asking and how he asked then thats good enough for me. Doris is an extremely intelligent guy who was frankly treated like shit by Pearse and the fact Pearse had such a bad game shows just who was right and who should on his way down the referee rankings.
The captain has the right to talk to the ref. Pearse needs to deal with that better. He wasn’t listening and that’s proven. He shut Dorris down when he was saying there was an ‘illegal foul’ (La Roux’s neck roll on Kellegher) prior to the marginal ‘Technical foul’ that cancelled out a good try. Yet it was there for all to see on the replay’s being used to cancel try. He compounded a mistake with ignorance. I remember Owen Farrell telling Pearse not to be rude to him mid game. I didn’t have much sympathy for him at the time but there is a trend here with Pearse.
Ireland didn't give the ref team a big enough brown envelope so they were having none of it. They went out of their way to find any technically to make sure Ireland didn't win.
It's funny how everybody here has their opinion, with their Irish tinted glasses on. The Ref didn't like how Doris came across to him, repeatedly ,simple as that, end of. POM didnt have a problem with the ref. Make that make sense. It's okay guys, Doris will get better at it the more time he gets to wear the armband, starting from tomorrow 😉

Well said.
Nice to hear this/ there is too many awful fans from both online . Your comment represents the real fans
I think both teams will up their game tomorrow. I expect a Boks win but would love it if we level the series.

No I think Caelan spoke just fine
