The WORST Refereeing You Will Ever See... | Springboks vs Australia 2022

- You wanted proof, here it is. Todays game in The Rugby Championship between South Africa and Australia, was one of the worst and most one sided refereeing I have ever seen. Where to start? Paul Williams was absolutely horrendous with his consistency. The way he handled the rucks was just plain horrible. He just ignored Australia when they neck rolled South African players or when they entered for the ruck, but he was quick to penalize South Africa when they infringed at the breakdown. The sad part about this is that quite a few of these decisions actually resulted in points for Australia in also took points away from South Africa. So, I'll say it again. This results was influenced by bad officiating. If South Africa had any other game, we win that with no sweat.
Also it is ridiculous how Marika Koroibete gets praised for his performance when he landed 3 cheap shots to South African players. On 3 occasions he lowered his shoulder and dived recklessly at South African players. And not once did he get penalized. World Rugby is quick to hand out red cards for head to head clashed, but simply just ignored it today. Where is the consistency? As for the Mapimpi tackle, that was just ridiculous that the ref deemed him to use arms in the tackle. His hands never had any motion to wrap around the ball carrier. He just recklessly charged in with his shoulder and prevents a try being scored. Yet the ref saw something else. Then there was the Faf de Klerk yellow card when Nic White dived to milk a penalty. That moment from the ref and Nic White was just disgraceful and should never happen rugby.
It was simply one of the worst refereeing performances that I've seen in quite some time. Yet, Nothing will ever happen because World Rugby require refs to take accountability for their performances. Another week where Springbok players and coaches will get destroyed by fans and media. That is accepted, but say one bad word of the ref, then it's against the spirit of the game. Rugby is just becoming a joke. - Sport
Even as an Aussie and rugby player myself, it was really hard to enjoy the game when most of our scores were off of illegitimate penalties and uneven decisions from the ref. This is not the first time South Africa have been hard done by refs in recent times either. Would like to see some serious improvements in referee abilities for the world cup next year or we could be looking at a lot of upsets that do not belong in this sport based on respect.
Spot on. There is a team of officials who should keep a closer watch on the game, especially the TMO who has the benefit of replays. If he thinks he spots foul play he should check check with the ref and review it.
bollocks
gwyllt what an erudite comment 🤮
Sounds like you're a Safa pretending to be an Aussie here. Safas cop it the same as everyone else. Stop whinging
@@thomasrodwell9669 Please don't insult me. Facts are facts.
It is not just the referee. Half of these decisions happens in front of the assistant referees. They should raise this as well. The whole officiating team from referee, to ARs to TMOs are responsible. Referee can't be anywhere and they will miss things that the TV will see, but the killer is consistencies in decisions and the fact that referees ignore rules of the game. If the a throw in the line-out is skew, it is skew - why do you have rules then if you do not enforce them. If you allow skew throws, then the defending team must be allowed to jump early or across the line to try and steal the ball...
Not sure if I remember correct, but was the no arms tackle on Mapimpi not referred and after that ruled to be okay?
@@fourieorama but how the hell is that tackle okay
@@tarantula7363 It wasn't
@@fourieorama that ref needs to punished in someway
or the whole reffing team
Koroibete was given a licence after red card hit (direct head on head contact) on Vermeulen was ignored by ref/linesman/tmo. He then hits Gelant shoulder to head with no repercussions. Then he hits Mapimpi no arms, without sanction. I have not seen a more reckless display by any player go unpunished. It was worth a red and two yellows. And all happened in clear view of world rugby officials. Player safety only applies to non South African players
mapimpi jumped, grow up
@@buycbdonline stop the vid at 2.29 contact is made before Mapimpi`s foot leaves the ground, he was then catapulted in a no arms direct hit. Bloody hell mate if the jersey colour was changed this would be red.
This whole video is shameful and bizarre propaganda. Please just lose gracefully South Africa. You're ruining the ethos of rugby for the next generation of kids who'll learn this kind of whining like snowflakes is normal.
@@buycbdonline No difference whether he jumped or not - it was essentially a tip tackle with no arms by Koroibete.Very dangerous.
If they are going to yellow DeKlerk for lightly tapping White's face but ignore stuff way more dangerous how consistent is that?
'Boks coming in hard next week.. Earthquake warning for Sydney'
I'm an English fan an have to admit that SA consistently get poor decisions against them an especially when it comes to physicality.
That’s because many of their players are thugs and do exactly the same to other teams as the Aussies did to them in this match. Appalling refereeing though.
Absolute bollocks they do. Cry me a fucking river.
@ddfann Please name the "many" players?
I think he/she may be thinking of past decades,an I'd agree there USED to be SOME thugs but the game was different then. In reality SA have evolved to a tough but, on the whole, clean team with top 5 players across the majority of positions an fair play to them.
Tell that to Wales a few months ago!!
I am a Kiwi, Paul Williams is well known in NZ to be a very poor referee ! Those calls he made or didn't make in that game were consistent with what we have put up with for the last 5 years here ! Obviously the TMO was not watching the game as well . Pathetic officiating alround !!!
All kiwi refs are biased mate especially when NZ playing Jesus Christ any game the all blacks can't win on there own the refs do it for them
At least he's consistent in one aspect, he's consistently shit
It makes a mockery of the game when there is a kak ref on the field.
I'm a springbok supporter and it's not nice losing a game however if you lose a game and it was a fair game it's something you accept. But losing a game with poor-quality ref is something no supporter enjoys!!!
In this light we will never know you is the better team.
And the ref just gets away with it!!!
If a player make a mistake he gets penalized for it!!!
What about the ref???
@@hannescoetzee717 same goes for winning. I hate watching my team win because the ref made some shocking calls our way. It's not good for the game.
If the ref made mistakes on both sides, I'd call it bad reffing. But if the ref makes the majority of his "mistakes" against one side, benefitting the team with lower odds of winning, I think it calls for an investigation of possible bribery. This match seemed to be rigged. This ref has to be investigated and held accountable for his bias. The yellow card for Faf was a joke.
Nick defiantly overacted and milked he penalty but dad was looking for trouble when he slapped him in the face😂
Whilst I’m not entirely happy with the current rules of the game around the tackle area, they are fairly clear and more or less consistently applied by refs/TMOs. Then you come to this match and it’s like anything goes, head to head contact, tackles without wrapping the arms etc. I hope there are repercussions for the referee and TMO.
never, the refs are untouchable and ruin the great game of rugby.
@@0432barry Referees are not untouchable, they are assessed and marked, but one bad game doesn't make a bad referee. After all, if you don't have referees you don't have a game. They do not "ruin the great game of rugby", just because you disagree with them doesn't make them wrong.
World rugby needs to fire the tmo and assistant refirees.They didnt do anything and its right infront of them
All Blacks fan here, I feel terrible for SA. Losing is one thing but this level of officiating is disgraceful.
Thanks Matt. All we asking for is a fair ref .to has more time to see these things and a better view .
This whole video is shameful and bizarre propaganda. Please just lose gracefully South Africa. You're ruining the ethos of rugby for the next generation of kids who'll learn this kind of whining like snowflakes is normal.
Get a grip of yourself! The ref was fine. It’s South African fans being stupid that’s the problem
Don't encourage them, where we're the mistakes made in favour of bokke. They're just sore losers mate
@@joedennehy386 this reply didnt age well now did it? Bunch of softies. We played the game today and you guys literally shat yourself. Enjoy your piss sour week😘
He was trained in the Bryce Lawrence Refereeing Academy..
Exactly.
Nigel Owens akademy
My thoughts exactly....let's hope we don't get this type of shocker of a ref in the world cup
No Wayne Barnes academy
Am sure Luke Pearce was a top learner there
A few years ago after Farrell made a dodgy tackle on Esterhuizen which was deemed okay (Angus Fraser was the ref), then coach Rassie suggested it's fine he'll teach his players to tackle like that. Once you turn it around like that, whether all those who thought Koroibete's tackle on Mapimpi was so amazing think of that was a Bok tackling somebody like that if it would be "fine". If the Boks start to play like this, many players will end up in hospital.
I'm an NZer and while all the commentators were woohooing etc I was thinking "f#ck that's a flying no arms tackle". I was amazed he didn't at least get yellow carded
BIG FACTS
That section where SA were camped in aus 22 and every scrum and maul were defending illegally wound me up so much! Awful ref!
It makes me wonder if there's a committee sitting somewhere and deciding who should win.
I was wondering that same thing a few weeks ago,
Wouldn’t surprise me, it’s becoming way too blatant every single week and there’s really no justification.
I joked about this the other day... now I'm beginning to believe it!!
Yes there is. It's unfortunately World Rugby
Unfortunately today it is so easy to buy someone, look at what happened with soccer a couple of years ago. It's easier when you are not accountable to anyone. This is happening more frequently and I have a feeling someone somewhere is going to notice and it is just a matter of time before someone gets busted.
I thought the refereeing was poor when I watched the game but I missed a lot - it’s just shocking
This whole video is shameful and bizarre propaganda. Please just lose gracefully South Africa. You're ruining the ethos of rugby for the next generation of kids who'll learn this kind of whining like snowflakes is normal.
The ref had a great game
@@MKRM27 yes of course he did - it’s Rugby Union after all so some people must surely think he did 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@MKRM27 aussie supporter in the house
What's going to be done about this? No team should be exposed to incompetent officials.
Nothing, because the IRB knows they won't lose money because we will all come back again for the next match. To them what's done is done, they got the money, nothing is going to take that away, and besides doing something about these situations will only acknowledge it and possibly give power to the fans which will be used against them next time. The IRB is untouchable.
@@gvz2899 Until there is a serious neck injury and then you'll see the IRB and World Rugby react and make their false claims about worrying about player safety. One can clearly see Vermeulen's head being knocked backward. What if that resulted in a neck injury????? Not even a penalty for a high tackle but the Aussies are awarded a penalty. I am surprised the SA coaches did not site Koroibete. The non-Springbok supporters all shout sour grapes and SA griping. It's laughable.
Honestly, when a referee misses obvious dangerous or illegal tackles/ collisions and does nothing to address the issue (including the whole referee team - touch judges and TMO), those involved should be penalized in some way. And when inconsistencies occur throughout a game, there should be an outside board that decides whether there were reasons for the negligence or if it was intentional. These are important matches, and having final results so heavily affected, it is crazy not to have something in place to avoid it. Reward good refs and penalize bad ones. In any other sport it would be considered match fixing.
Yeah! More penalties! Let's continue to make the game less nuanced and more soft!! That's the spirit!!
This whole video is shameful and bizarre propaganda. Please just lose gracefully South Africa. You're ruining the ethos of rugby for the next generation of kids who'll learn this kind of whining like snowflakes is normal.
delusional. Funny how this only happens with SA lose.
You know, maybe, just maybe, that with that many refs they see something you don't? Or are you just some random who thinks they know better than the ref on the pitch. If you want to complain, become a referee hypocrite
Bro can't take a fair loss
Neutral on this one, however you can't argue with any of these I did notice the 2 head on head on sa no 8 and 12 by aus 11. Should have least have been a tmo call?
You think.
The rules were changed on direct head contact, unless there's mitigating circumstances, such as the targeted player lowering himself at the point contact, or getting diverted in to the tackler, it's an automatic red card. Eveb worse than this is the fact the TMO didn't call either of them, despite the fact he can review video footage from multiple angles.
This whole video is shameful and bizarre propaganda. Please just lose gracefully South Africa. You're ruining the ethos of rugby for the next generation of kids who'll learn this kind of whining like snowflakes is normal.
This is a very dangerous and irresponsible refereeing. The referee deserves a red card.
I miss Nigel Owens. The best. He actually respects SA and NZ equally and loved refereeing us.
5 year red card lol
Were there TMO checks at least? How did all these instances go missed?
That ref knew exactly what he was doing. He backed Australia from the beginning of the game. They probably paid the ref and made him aware of the situation. That ref needs to get fired. Blady Australians. We must have a rematch with them and show them that they missing with the wrong team 🤞
@@SpiritualGangsta04 SA players need to stop shrinking lower in some of those tackles. If you change your height then it's your problem not the defenders shoulders or not. If you jump in the air to score a try it doesn't automatically mean you can't be touched. If that was the case players would jump anywhere near the tryline not just the corners
It's high time referees get held to account for their performances on the park. It is just unacceptable in this age of professionalism for such blatantly incompetent performances to go unanswered - gentlemanly acceptance of outcomes and sportsmanship and 'just accept it' with good grace may sound great catch crys from the days of amateurism, but soon as money is exchanged... well, all bets are off for being 'gracious in defeat'. Players and coaches alike lose their jobs and careers based on decisions metered out by the whistleblowers. Perhaps they should be accountable for outcomes. SA, are hard done by, and there should be indignation - and, incidentally, this is hardly the first time - heck if you have the ammo to put an hour long video together of bad calls - something must stink - even if only half are unfair.
Agree. And this ref had a good game
Since the referees started penalizing NZ for their breaking of the laws, they started to lose, funny right? I thought the AU no.9 is a soccer player, the way he acted. This ref should be banned from refereeing immediately!
That's the saddest part about the refs, nothing will be done cause they're the ones in control and what does it matter if they make a team lose and gain a few thousand dollars on the side?
Acting or not no one should ever put his hand on the face of an opposition player during a rugby match. For once I'm glad a player acted like that, otherwise Faf's dirty trick might have gone unnoticed.
@@TheGadfly85Prick white needs to better actor than that to convince us.. he successfully convinced the ref that his knees are attached to his cheek!
Correct 100%

Apparently arms in a tackle has a different interpretation when playing against springboks

@@siphesihletom4933 Farrell has got away with illegal tackles for years.

Let’s get Butch James back in the mix - he’d thrive with this clown’s farce of a refereeing performance.
If Nigel Owens was reffing, Nic White would have been binned, not Faf.
Add him to the list of appalling referees nz have produced over the last 10 years
Yes like Honiss and Lawrence in recent times.
@@jaspercoetzee4880 If you are watching any match be it 7s or 15s and the ref is shit, look up his nationality. He will usually be NZ, especially if SA is playing. Has the rule book not reached NZ yet?
This is a very good example of refereeing in modern rugby...Very inconsistent! It is becoming frustrating to watch. You have two good teams playing well, but spoiled by poor decisions by the ref, TMO and line judges.
Not just the ref then. Linesmen too. Some of those infractions happened within clear view of them too.
I noticed the linesman on his knee watching Mapimpi being crash tackled..
@@austrobok2958 A completely unbiased opinion here, because if we muck up, we should obviously also get punished, but gosh I think there should be ref substitutions too! If someone agrees that a ref is not up to par during the match, a replacement should be made. No disrespect against refs but how does one know if they are really impartial or not?
Sportsbetting runs to billions - is it realistic to assume ALL refs are honest or even just not prejudiced?
@@ecallk5544 Exactly, but even if betting were not involved, prejudice might still be there.
@@landibear6509 could be match fixing, and World Rugby will protect them, there should be consequences
I must say, this channel is normally a bit bias but I have to agree with this video. The ref was absolutely poor, does not matter who you support this was just a disgrace.
Rassies channel low key 🤣
The ref penalised Australia 78% more than SA but okay lmao
@@benm1308 yeah I thought so
A bit biased!!!!!!!
Oh you just notice
I’m kiwi too and I’ve never rated Paul Williams. The ABS have also had crap calls go against them when he’s reffed. That tackle by Koroibete should have been yellow at best and a red at worst. It was a blatant shoulder charge whether he had intention to wrap or not. Can fully understand why the Boks are pissed off
Respect
I'm sorry, but when has PW reffed the ABS? Never. Try to be rational.
@@groberts2618 he reffed the first Bledisloe cup game in 2020 in Sydney when it was a 16 all draw. Do your homework you dumb fck
SA lost simply because Pollock didn't kick his kicks and Koroibete kicked SA arse. Only a Kiwi would blame the ref. Every time the all blacks lose "its the ref".
First one with AM. The Oz player clears him out, no problem. Second one was not the Kolisi tackle called high, if you listen to the TMO it was the head collision from 5 he called, the producers replayed the wrong tackle.
Your criticism at 1:43 11 leads with shoulder, what do you want him to tackle with?
Thank you for being the only person with some sense in this comment section
This ref should be banned pronto.
Doing a great job! Keep making these videos! Another KIWI ref in the same mold as Bryce Lawrence.
Hey Alias, I bet that ref in your 24-8 win was fantastic today, and no faults will come up. My point exactly with SA supporters, when you lose videos pop up, with a win you say how awesome they are.... I'm a Safa by the way, I just hate the way we always blame the ref when we lose. It's really pathetic! Refs in general are wrong many times, but all teams experience that sometimes.
When i watched the game i wanted to remain objective as whenever i say that we (South Africa) are being treated unfair i get called so many names, this evidence is clear, thanks for sharing
This video is the most biased piece of analysis I've ever seen. Some of his interpretations are highly debatable and he only shows the ones that impacted negatively on the Boks. Unless he shows the ones against the Wallabies as well, he has no credibility.
@@gustaaf1892 Why didn't we complain about the loss against the All Blacks the previous week? Easy, it was fair refereeing. I still feel that we would've lost, but it would've been so much more of a fair contest if the ref had his biased glasses off.
Weird. Given I don't give a flying fuck who wins ( Scottish), the paranoia is ripping out of every SA supporter who comments. Not the most rational bunch of supporters given how good their team is.
@@gustaaf1892 - As is always mentioned, we (SA supporters) are apparently biased and don't see the ref's calls that go in our favour. So how can you expect that the analysis would accurately show both sides. So we need a passionate Aus supporter to go and make a similar analysis to this from their POV, and post it. Then we can look at both side by side, and see if the ref's incompetence impacted evenly on both teams. I suspect it won't show an even break, but that's just from my biased SA perspective.
seriously reconsidering spending hard earned cash to go to the RWC with this going on
This TMO stops the game for a suspected deliberate knock on but didn’t call to check any of these head shot.
It’s easy to say SA played badly, with a ref like this no team can gather momentum to play
Exactly! As such, even the touch judges cannot be trusted anymore! Only way to stop the SA juggernaut is through fraudulent officiating...it 'levels the playing field' for all the poor other teams who cannot keep up with SA's brute force and athleticism!
Yes I am am a SA rugby fan. But my problem wasn’t that we lost the game, it is was the amount of dangerous high tackles and wreck less high tackles too. When South Africa made a mistake ref was instantly on it and when Australia made a mistake nothing…
There were no dangerous tackles! It is rugby not touch football, the tackler had a low body height and head down in every tackle so if your head got hit it is because you were running with it down which makes it fair game! Game is getting full of cry babies!
@@MrPaulviles read the laws. Those were dangerous reckless hits, most couldn't be called tackles since there was no wrap attempt.
@@MrPaulviles They may not have been dangerous tackles when compared to the games of 20 years ago but, by the rule book, they are considered now. Contact to the head is contact to the head and tackling without the use of your arms with your shoulders is considered a shoulder charge and also illegal. Even some referees have said they have no choice but to give a yellow card when they themselves do not see a problem. It is the fact that the referee was so blatantly inconsistent that is the issue.
Us poor Kiwis had to endure Wayne Barnes's refereeing for years. At least in 2019 he finally admitted that it was a forward pass in 2007 and his biggest mistake. Now we just have to put up with Ian Smith:)
@@MrPaulviles What about the blatent shoulder charge? no hands in the tackle at all. Should have been a penalty try and a red
@@MrPaulviles read the rules brother, touch rugby or not, you have to wrap your arms and avoid head collision.... don't be emotional be logical brother 😅
When a coach or a player does not perform they get dropped from the side, but when a referee has a bad game absolutely nothing gets done about it. I understand they might miss a few calls but what is the point in having the TMO and 2 other assistant referees if they do not help. They can make or break a game.
The arrogant and entitled South African fans should be dropped! They lost. Deal with that like adults
@@MKRM27 you obviously don't know the rules.
these inconsistent ref are going to make me stop me watching the game.... i'm sure he was bought and paid for.
When will there he a level of accountability for poor refereeing? I am not saying SA deserves to win, but this was shocking.
It’s amazing that, when South Africa rag doll players off the ball and do high shots, their fans don’t like it. Pay back is so good
fired ragged doll? My comment is universal. How many times has Aus lost to the boks due to poor refereeing and the entire Aus is up in arms???
You have that typical victim mentality. Get your emotions in check princess.
@@dianafife3964COW MOOOOOOOO
@@derekallan1341 meooow
I've only been watching rugby for 10 or so years, but as I learned the rules it became clear even to me how refs ignore things.
Maybe another 10 years and you'll learn that rugby has laws not rules you turnip
It's called interpretation. As long as the refs consistent then it's generally accepted that there'll be lots of grey areas in each game. Most are good calls, some are grey (could have gone either way) and a small few are bad. Now, you argue the bad call either way but theres never much point. So why bother. Unless it's a last minute try saving shoulder barge by Owen Farrell. For once the saffas had an excuse for it. 😉
Refs don't ignore things they referee the game.
Just because you might not understand how they referee doesn't mean they ignore things but they also do miss things, just like players miss tackles, kick at goal etc.
I know what you mean - the first problem with rugby is the on-going need to differentiate the two codes - this impacts on Union far more than League where you don’t get anywhere near as many problems - the mere fact that in Union the referee has the ability to interpret the rules as he sees fit just highlights the problems that Union has - name me one other sport that has a similar problem - having said all that I would far rather watch Union any time but you have to take the sport for what it is and accept the problems with the rules - it is what it is and at least the players and supporters accept that
Even the first one this dude hasn’t got right. Pathetic video. He’s not sealing off the South African player moves, that’s why it’s not sealing learn the laws!!!!!
Sadly it makes no difference when the refs have an agenda NOT to allow the BOKS to win no matter what, refs over the years have always had a bad opinion of South Africa Rugby and the BOKS will always be on the receiving end of bad refereeing , it has been around for years, , its time that the SA Rugby Union take the WRC Councli to task on these matters and Strt giving BAD REF Decisions fine to the refs, it will solve the issue once and for all. Please continue to provide this awesome level of analysis on the game to show the world what is happening to the great game.
It is about high time that the IRB do something and take action against these biased referees and touch judges.
The IRB bans SA officials who complain.
Aussies and new Zealanders don't know what a TMO is, unless it's used to go against South Africa
And yarpies only use the TMO's to garner their evidence so they can make snidey videos, becuse they lost!
Spot on bud
Absolutely true,I wondered why there wasn't one referral
There should have at least been a tmo referral on the De Allende hit as he clearly even suggests a hit to the ear/side of the head. How the tmo can miss that one is beyond me...I guess he doesn't have a porn-stache.
Bollocks, next time the ABs play look at the scrutiny the TMO puts on Kiwi tries compared to approaching absolute zero for opposing teams. The TMO is a blight on the game in Oz and Kiwiland.
Remember seeing the DeAllende head tackle and thinking it should have been reviewed.
Especially since he pointed it out. How can they miss that? That has to be a deliberate act of ignorance.
Well this is a first, a referee who doesn't know the rules. Shouldn't be refereeing another game, until he goes through the appropriate training courses.
What happens to a ref if he is
unfair and inconsistent I mean this is clearly bull sh#t... he could've just worn an Ausie jersey. ffs man
I'm neutral. Have to agree, poor officiating
Thank you.
Wrong.
It is intentional and takes great skill to resist the impulse towards fairness.
Incredibly shit referring but SA still needs to be better themselves.
Rory for once you and I agree. How are you??
Missed the side entry maul collapse 5m from Aussie line
Penalty try all day long. They were on a warning already. Nevermind the mapimpi tackle
Instead he penalized SA! If he called the game correctly, SA would have won in a romp!
How does a referee of such inconsistent decision making ever get to referee any international game let alone this one ?. The decisions made were simply awful in all reasoning . I can understand the springboks being angered , even if I do not appreciate their own thuggery often described as rugby , this man should stand down for the safety of the players .

He’s a great ref. What isn’t so great is the arrogant entitled attitude of South African “fans” when they lose

Try watch the video, put your pathetically swayed bias aside and try to be honest with yourself... Because the comment you made above is literally embarrassing. Grow up.
Yeh was shocking refereeing, absolutely disgusting to see. Thought I was watching soccer for a moment there, give nick white a Grammy Oscars award 😂
i turned the tv off after the mapimpi and faf incident, knew where this was going...
....Faf is allowed to hit White in the face with a closed fist......yeah right. That again is a clear yellow card.
I didnt realise how completely biased this ref was.This is up there and this guy must NOT come to SA,I fear for his safety.
The ref clearly needs glasses if he can not get things right. He needs to be fair to both sided not just to Australia. That was very unfair ref work.
Is it possible to report this to the IRB? (or their Referee equivalent)

But as a frustrated ABs fan, how can anyone overlook how crucial refereeing will be going forward?" Feel for the Boks after this one too...referee's interpretation of the laws & what they miss & don't miss is gonna be the difference for sure!!! At least, the RC is more competitive this year than in any previous year....great for the growth of the game!!!

@@charliejones7830 Can we get over the hatred of the Springboks and talk about the poor referring for like 2 seconds. God damn 😂😂
The sad part for me is that as a Springbok I am more than happy to lose against the better team and we did play poorly on an individual level but the ref should be consistent and better. This was so frustrating and I am sure for the players too.
We always have to play three times harder to win a game, been like that ever since re-admision.
It is very ugly refereeing.
But at least it didnt happen in your World cup final...
Best regards from 🇨🇵
Oh but it has happened in 2011... in the Q Final and in the final. In the Q final a KIWI ref named BRYCE LAWRENCE made sure that the Springboks lost against Australia. Then Craig Joubert (ashamed to say a SA ref) made sure that France lost in the final.
Haha too many eyes to call then on it on a final.....
funny how a lot of these poor refereeing incidents happen against Aus🤔
its like the players knew they could get away with it
I noticed that too. They were doing stuff that should have had them in the bin, or worse, without a care in the world.
Yes for shore. This is top of match fixing
Had the same thought- as if they knew beforehand.
The worst thing about this video is the music…. Great to see The Championship open up a bit … well done Oz and pure brilliance from Argentina
This literally makes me feel ill. Such intentional dangerous play against the Springboks but nothing is done. @IRB
You are on drugs! Not 1 tackle or play was dangerous or foul, the game has just become a pussies sport now! It is like sending a player off for a dangerous tackle because of a head clash, guess what, no one is intentionally going to cause a head clash! It is all absolutely absurd!
Could score a try or get someone sent off everytime you run the ball now, just run with your head at waist height that way they can’t tackle you unless they jump at your ankles!
Good, glad you feel ill, now go into a dark space and adopt the fetal position.
This was clearly a Bryce Lawrance move.
I have thought long and hard of a possible solution and finally came up with something viable. World Rugby should introduce a system where each captain gets 3 reviews of the decision made and it has to be taken to the TMO to look from all angles to ensure the right call has been made. If it is found that the wrong call has been made, the captain stays with 3 reviews, otherwise moves down to 2 and so on. The same system as what applies in cricket and tennis, where the players have been right multiple times. The reason for only 3 reviews, is to ensure time is not wasted by unnecessary reviews. A change has to be made. Today's game has really changed how I view world rugby. It is heartbreaking that it is now extremely clear that a team can work extremely hard for days, weeks, months and even years and on the day of the match, there is a VERY real possibility of a referee destroying the entire game, resulting in the team who drew the short stick with a minimal possibility of winning, no matter how they play.
I agree but i feel like this would drag on games by about 10 min so i doubt theyll do it.
Wow that is actualy a great idea...3 TMO''s might drag the game a bit, Call it maybe 2 TMO's per captain.
@@teocarre4026 I don’t think it would drag cause players would realize they can’t get away with infringements and they will adapt. There have been many changed made and everyone thinks the game would get slower it’s not. The players will adjust and the game will continue! No one wants to cost their team. But many players think if you get away with it why not do it. I rather have a 3 hr game that is accurate than what we have now !
@@teocarre4026 Yes I agree, it would most definitely make games at least 10 minutes longer. However, I am sure any supporter of any team, would much rather watch 10 minutes more rugby, knowing that it is much more carefully and correctly officiated, than sparing 10 minutes to watch a full 80 minutes of bad officiating.
@@kesivan oh im with you on that i wouldnt mind the extra time im just saying i doubt theyll do it and use that as an excuse.
I think that referee should never be allowed back on a Rugby field. Was the TMO sleeping?
O and nic white congrats on the oscar mate.
How do you get awarded twice the amount of penalties, and the other team gets twice the number of cards, and still complain about the ref?
Easy one card is for touching a guys chin with 2 fingers, aus should’ve been with 12 players in the second half of the game but you don’t understand rugby so i don’t expect you to understand this
@@dewetcoetzee1880 so contact with the face area is no longer red? Please point me to that rule change as it would be nice to know before I play tomorrow :) Faf should not be putting his hand near a players face, very dumb. White reacted because he has been getting punked over by refs all summer, look at Genge on his neck and also look at what happened with Swain. Instead of going to the internet and crying like a baby, he did something about it. I dont agree with how he reacted, he could have just taken a knee and made the ref aware, but he did what he did and the right call was still made. You cant put your hands near a players face, I know you saffas love to gouge people and play dirty, but its no longer a part of our game so you need to adapt.
The only ones who dont understand rugby are the ones who spend all week crying and complaining and blaming a ref for their team's poor performance. You would be more at home watching soccer pal, they like little whiney babies like you.
@@dewetcoetzee1880 Se hom De Wet
World rugby to refs.... It only counts if its against the springboks.... Yes boss
Wales’ yellow cards against the Boks this summer never happened then?
@@billymaguire3312 The argument is that Aus/NZ refs are particularly bad to SA. SA are the most disciplined team at the moment in terms of penalty count and cards, compared to our opposition. I looked at all SA games for the last 5 years...(since Rassie/Nienaber), and SA conceded more penalties in only 25% of matches, and in those few matches, the difference was usually small. Then you get a game like this were Aus commit 16 penalties, vs SA's 9 and Aus still get away with things that ought to be penalized. SA did play poorly and deserved to lose, but I am only looking at the performance of the calls here.
Those yellows were deserved except for the Zammit one I think. Alun-wyn definitely slapped the ball down.
Mate thank you for your excellent channel and your analysis. It is not about how you play the game anymore but about the refs interpretation of the laws. Surely there should be a card system post matches where refs can get cards as well. If a refs performance are that poor they get a red and cannot officiate. Maybe a ban for a a few games.
No, it's who IRB chose to win
The only problem with that is that it will require World Rugby to hold refs accountable for their performances. And judging by World Rugby's history, that is simply not something they can do with refs as ref is more important than players and coaches to them. We're only allowed to hold players and coaches accountable, if we say anything bad about a ref then we're the jerks.
I agree with you and have been saying the exact same thing. But they won't do it, because then they can not manipulate results.
Is there a video for the decisions that went south Africa's way or is this a one sided channel
RED CARD FOR REF... can't believe are their different rules for each ref??? RED card.....
Bring in the review system. Each team gets three cards that allows them to double-check a call or ask to check something that the ref might have missed.
This has been tested at provincial level and works well.
i agree, similar to cricket where one team can have up to 2 reviews calls by an umpires decision
The next vid should be how the touch judges ignored mapimpi getting blocked from getting the high ball once again like against NZ. Bribery works well there.
Who rates the referees? They should also be held responsible for poor form and poor decisions made.
I rate them. Almal poese.
I don't rate them but personally think that they are the same the tmo's and touch judges biased and sore losers.
They are Rated by a Panel in the IRB - the Problem is that they are the same as Doctors and Lawyers - Always Protecting each other.
This whole video is shameful and bizarre propaganda. Please just lose gracefully South Africa. You're ruining the ethos of rugby for the next generation of kids who'll learn this kind of whining like snowflakes is normal.
@@barron4755 yes you are correct. I have listened to refs being questioned and they say sweet .uck all
Absolute disgrace , it continues to get worse,year by year , something has to be done,we the paying supporters are not fooled by the manipulation of World rugby
Makes no difference what you and i think, the money will keep ticking in, season after season. What difference does it make if a person decides to boycott watching? Absolutely none my friend.
You're kidding right? You haven't paid anything.
Thing is that world rugby needs to understand that they can't run the game in the direction it's going. They are losing the loyal rugby community to a massive degree and the ones they are advised by has no valid idea that would grow the game by a day.
We need Agustin Pichot, a true reflection of a professional who has walked the road and who would've always imagined what could've been. Rugby as a sport has potential in the right hands and as a whole, can only improve when people with real and honest intentions come to direct.
2 cents
As a Scotsman I feel your pain...only Steve W Walsh could have done worse and no prizes what the "W" stands for!
We did not see any of this in northern half rugby Australia and nz ref and players take note
SA do seem to feel they are always discriminated against. However I thought today they really did get some very poor calls go against them.
Only today?
It is just the same old same old. We virtually always get these decisions. I eventuall gave up watching. Not because the Boks lost, but because of the reffing. Even look at that one scrum where the Boks obliterated the aussie scrum and their loose head and were penalised for it!!
Boks are always so dominant within the confines of the law.. some refs hate this reality and choose to turn the tabled on the Boks every chance they get.
Does anyone of importance in World Rugby see this, eg IRB ??
If I ever feel like my salt levels are down, I'll come here from now on. Thanks for posting.
This year 2022 has been the year of horrendous officiating in international rubgy. It's almost like the refs have been told to make certain teams win but, by who? IRB? No one can or will do something about this. What can we do as fans to stop this
This is ridiculous...
Conspiracy againgst SA...
Head contact is head contact, which is a penalty. We then move on to mitigating factors. Starting from red card and moving down to "just a penalty". Why am I seeing people saying he was already falling or dipping when the contact was made? As if that makes the direct head contact disappear.
the head contact BS has got to go. If the guys are scared then wear a scrum cap!
this. Exactly this. People need to brush up on the laws of the game if they're going to argue semantics. Otherwise they just make themselves look like fools...
@@austrobok2958 ah yes. Let’s selfishly put my entertainment as a viewer above player safety. There totally aren’t multiple players coming out now with dementia, MND and other neurological conditions. All good though, as long as my match isn’t ruined by a red card.
Also, scrum caps don’t serve a purpose in reducing concussions. Their use has always been in preventing lacerations.
0:48 it looks to me that Kolisi is just stationary bracing for an impact? But well... the head contact rule states that a head contact is a head contact..... so penalty without card is probably a right call. But ref is totally inconsistent with the other calls shown in this video... poor refereeing
@@calvingroenewald2497 A scrum cap would've spared us Smith's theatrics when Faff slapped his face lightly..
The referee missed 3 blatant red cards. Needs to be stopped and investigate immediately!
He missed nothing… only things in your head
What you highlighted is the reason I have turned off the rugby now. Contact to the head…………if they are bent over it is pretty bloody hard to not hit the head! It is a contact sport, if you can’t handle that then don’t play!
It’s a long time since I have seen a good New Zealand referee,Glen Jackson probably the last one.
South African refs are pretty crap too. At least be consistent. ALL refs in the game today suck.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 The difference is World Rugby doesn't use Saffie refs other than Peyper. There are loads of kiwi & oz refs calling test matches but have no business with a whistle.
@@lmarislmarislmaris4271 And loads of Northern hemisphere refs who are even worse! Also refs don't call games. That's what commentators do...
that tackle by Aus 11, premeditated 'murder' almost... that tackle on mapipi... jeez... I cringed for him
Fucking red card
Ref is a doos
That takle looked like it was straight from the NFL. It was extremely reckless, one of these days the Aus 11 is going to seriously injure an opponent or himself.
Shocking display by a pathetically biased referee. I saw all of this on television and could not believe nothing was referred or reviewed.
Everyone saying Koroibete's tackle on Mapimpi was valid should get prescription glasses. Clear shoulder charge with floppy arm made to look like he's attempting to wrap but doesn't. Boks played poorly yes, but some of these calls actually picked up and we could have scrapped a win regardless. IRB and World Rugby need to make captains able to challenge calls for limited times in the game, and they need to hold pathetic referees accountable. Even Kiwis on here saying this guy is a shamble of a ref in their eyes.
This whole video is shameful and bizarre propaganda. Please just lose gracefully South Africa. You're ruining the ethos of rugby for the next generation of kids who'll learn this kind of whining like snowflakes is normal.
What’s actually shocking is how arrogant and entitled South African rugby “fans” are, when their team are beaten fair and square. Sportsmanship is dead is that godforsaken country
And if I'm not mistaken, Mapimpi lands on his head after the no-arms tackle. Bloody disgrace. And let's be honest, the arm that "wraps around" was purely by coincidence
That was one hell of a Fijian tackle..
@@madcoconut4749 Luckily for most sane rugby fans there is no such thing as a Fijian tackle. There is the quintessential Fijian/Samoan shoulder charge, often seen and usually rightly penalised.
A Kiwi throwing a bone to his Aussie mates...never! Ref needs to be stripped of his test match capacity and forced to retrain. Nigel Owens would never have let this fly, and thats from an Englishman.
Nigel Owens would let Australia playing with 12… Please come back Nigel !!! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
all of the danger takles are from the AUS 11, he should have been taking off with a red card
Yep, same guy in quite a few of these. I think he switched codes from Rugby League, where attempted murder is actually legal as part of the game...
This whole video is shameful and bizarre propaganda. Please just lose gracefully South Africa. You're ruining the ethos of rugby for the next generation of kids who'll learn this kind of whining like snowflakes is normal.
We (SA) didn’t deserve to win but with the way rugby is going to prevent dangerous plays and protect the players, those few tackles from Koroibete were all yellow/red cards
It's easy to say we didn't deserve to win but name one team in the world that can gain momentum with this type of refereeing
@@siphesihletom4933 completely agree. But we were definitely not at our best
@@mikebrownphotography2784 That is true, and I think the solution is that we need to stop playing one dimensional rugby, have you noticed that when a team matches us upfront with physicality our backs lack the flare. Everyone drinks protein shakes now and everyone lifts weights now so the boks can't always rely on the power game and the likes of Eddie Jones will definitely take note of this.
literally nothing wrong with his tackles. Hit hard and legally, maybe if you didnt rely on overweight slow fowards full of steroids and focused more on athletic players you might do better? is it the refs fault that a fat 35 year old frans steyn couldnt catch the ball?
This whole video is shameful and bizarre propaganda. Please just lose gracefully South Africa. You're ruining the ethos of rugby for the next generation of kids who'll learn this kind of whining like snowflakes is normal.
This is the second time the referee has been unfair towards the Springboks. Remember when Bryce Lawrence referred a World Cup match between Springboks and Australia
That was difficult to watch when I realized it was the same ref during the same game.
One has to ask the question. When BetWay is one of the Springbok sponsors what is in it for them?
@Edit name you talk a big game who do you support that give you such massive balls and opinion?
Money.
f. uck all because you crooked people put more money into betting that South African people. That reffing was shit and you know it
Referees can miss things, however the TMO being a local boy was very problematic. Some of the headshots and then the obvious 'try saving tackle' bit has to be called by the TMO. The inconsistencies there is maddening.
There was nothing wrong with the so-called shoulder charge, just because he's running quickly and hitting him doesn't mean that it is illegal. There was a clear wrap and you can't say otherwise.
Bottomless where is the so called wrap? Leading shoulder charge only afterwards the left arm comes in clear shoulder charge
too many inconsistencies
@@thebottomlesspit8516 There was no clear wrap.This was thuggery.
@@thebottomlesspit8516 I can because very clearly there was no wrap. Not sure what you have seen but check again begore commenting please. You are embarrassing us.
Yeah he refs this way in NZ, which is quite frustrating at times. One thing a lot of players have learnt is to question a decision once, whether you agree with his decision or not it’s in your best interest or you might find yourself with a heavy penalty. Whenever he referees, you know the game is going to be interesting.
I watched the game and I thought both teams were getting bad calls, however Boks seemed to be unfairly treated more they often. To be honest I think the Boks don’t use their backs enough. The crash bash method doesn’t necessarily work with teams like Australia, NZ and the Puma’s because they’ll front up in the forwards and will run the back line at any opportunity.
I do think they need to use their backs a little more against Australia and if they don’t they will unlikely win.
Good luck to both teams and I hope you get a better referee.
Smashed them today.
@@nicholasgeorgeliatos1529 They smashed you last week.
If it was the AB’s playing SA, they would be down to 10 men after the amount of high shots. Poor reffing, SA very unlucky.
Worst ref on the planet, must have had a gold shirt on when he went out for dinner in the evening.
Kiwi ref... no surprises. Bunch of cheaters. The worst ref on the planet is another KIWI ref, Bryce Lawrence, remember him? He does not ref anymore and will never again set foot in South Africa.
SA should've had a penalty try with mapimpi, but refs performance NOT THE REASON YE LOST
He jumped into the tackle, it should have been a penalty to Aus and probably a YC
@@hammerhiem75 he did not jump, look again at the tackle, he was lifted - he only went airborne after the connection
@@pietertheron8396 He jumped into the tackle. At 2.21 you can clearly see him arranging his body ready to try and jump the tackle. Clear as day.
Well this video clearly shows 2 Australian tries as a result of bad officiating and one where the Springboks were 3 metres from the tryline and we were penalized. Also, another possible 3 points were not given to us at that scrum which was shown that their loosehead prop was not scrumming straight. That is 14 points less to Australia and at least 7 to the Springboks.
When people stop thinking that referee's does not have an impact on the result of the game, is delusional.
IRB has made the rules so that the referee can penalize any team at almost any ruck. So if it is a close game, the referee can easily decide which team he wants to win.
@@KennethMavor well if he was only arranging then he still did not jump. When we want a Scots opinion on a game you guys terrible at them we might ask. At least our captains don't go around biting other players.
I was flipping so angry watching how s##t these refs were
First one SA player stepped away from the ruck and I hate it when refs penalise for sealing off when players step away from the ruck.
Other than that pretty spot on
Havent watched the game, but refereeing like this have been going against Springboks since 2011. Lawrence was fired and banned from rugby because he let the aussies win that quarter final against the boks. We all seeking interference from world rugby, but they feel a fuck, and that is why Joubert retired, because 1 mistake from South African ref and you get sacked to currie cup level. But fools like this and Pearce gets to become the greatest refs, because they support the aussies and all blacks. South Africa is the best rugby team in the world by far, and it hurts world rugby to see us win. Foster is again infront of a firing squad, because they had no ref to favor them today, but next weekend they will win argentina, because something mist be done to protect their image. Same goes for these fools in yellow, they just like their cricket team, if they cant win they need to find a way to cheat. This hate will continue for years to come, so brace yourselves my fellow springbokkies

I didn't watch the game either just the highlights but this was shit consistency as seen in this vid, I'm a new zealander hard maori at that got more respect for the Boks then the Ozzies tbh its funny how every country in the world talk shit about us(nz) and yet these countries around the world are 5 - 10 times bigger then our country let alone the number of population too
Referees end of the day should be made accountable for these calls that could potentially be the deciding factor for a win in most cases but Mainly for the safety and well being of each individual when coming into contact with the head believe me im pretty sure most of us like to see a good straight solid hit at least once in a game
SA are the world Champs but at this stage tbh are down on the rankings it wont take long for them and the Abz to be back to there normal form which I can't wait for
For me n probably most of nz is asking the question AGAIN have we got the right coach or are some players not ready f'knows, as hard as it was to watch the Ireland series in nz that was absolutely mud
Just wanted to share my thoughts and that we don't rely on the refs to make us win thats what caught my eye was this comment other then this MUCH love for SA Rugby can't wait till they start hammering teams again
Best team in the world??,,,lol hardly,,consistently is what makes a 'best team in the world' as you put it,,and the boks ain't that

Thanks for the video, there was actually way more happening than what we could see. Referees should use the TMO more if they are not sure of the call instead of making brain dead calls
Are TMO officials no longer allowed to recommend to the head referee that he review a potential foul play? Has the IRB changed policy in this issue?
You do know that the TMOs are sweeping for anything the ref missed? They're just as culpable.
“Use the TMO more” ??? Are you st%#$d, why would want more penalties and pulling up of the game….unbearable as it is having them pull back plays after 10+ phases and 5 mins.
@@mathieuguillet4036 they should be doing that at all…just let the game flow naturally how it’s supposed to.
International rugby has been very strange lately. One week one team will smash the opposition only to get smashed the following week? Seems like Union could be turning into WWE to make it more entertaining after the All Blacks dominated for so many years it got boring knowing who would win every test.
I am deff on the side of the referee's having a huge impact on whats happening. Week to week we are getting TOTALLY different calls for the same offences. The AB game was the same as this (probably more calls both ways though to be fair in that one but some of them are key decisions that swing games) the AB's deff arent right but they are also getting the bad end of the rub on alot of calls atm. But on this game that Aussie winger basically knew he could just run around head butting guys all game once he did that first one and thats exactly what happened for the rest of the game.
