The most brutal match in professional rugby history

[@aidanmasterson50]

As an Irishman, I enjoyed this tour and especially this game. Outside the physicality of it there was some super rugby but for me the most brutal match I seen was the .2002 Springbok v England match. It was pure filth with England playing all the rugby.

[@spervuurproduksies]

The Bok lock got sent off early in a questionable manner. That ended the contest. The rest was just a deliberate brawl, with the Bok captain taking out his own flyhalf, in all the excitement.

Yea TMO changed rugby for the better not sure why Football didn't just copy paste TMO for VAR Anyway now I've heard a new yellow card red card rule is coming into world cup so If you get a yellow card yea 10 minute sin bin fair enough but during that 10 minutes it will be reviewed to see if it should be upgraded to a red card And if you get a red card next 10 minutes that will be reviewed to see if it around be downgraded to a yellow Honestly excited by that rule idea

Eye gouging is a clear red card offense and Schalk Burger should have been sent off. The only reason he wasn't is that it was only 30 secs into the game and the ref didn't want to ruin the contest. Like most fans I want to see a competitive match between two sides with 15 men on the pitch, but he really should have gone there's no question of that. However would we have had such an epic contest if he had?

@@dunlaoghaire harsh dude. O'Gara is one of the greats. Boks were just not going to be beaten on the day - they were in do or die mode. When they get like that nobody beats them.

The call should have been '99'!

Berger’s part in this contest shoulda ended after about 30 seconds.

Commentator. Oooh aand the Lions have the South Africans ruffle...... Me laughing myself in a coma.

These commentators are still been employed by tv companies . THEY even get the replays wrong .

[@Hereford1642]

Accuracy is not important. The television company can make a star of a commentator or a has-been pretty much at will. There are dozens or hundreds, maybe even thousands who could do the job but your face must fit and then you get huge pay and privilege. So strange it is.
