Some of the worst refereeing I have ever seen, quite possibly the worst game of rugby ever, but I give the devil his due. The Saffa's ground us down and held on (barely) by their fingernails to win, by one point. No shame in that loss. Wayne Barnes and the TM9 won't be able to show their face in NZ ever again though.

I do believe that the eligibility rule and the difference in rules in Superrugby and the northern hemisphere competitions creates these situations with the refereeing! South Africa wisely had their teams playing with the European teams going to the #RWC2023 and played with the loopholes in the rules! The #Springboks were not the best team in all 3 matches leading to the cup but their were certainly the smartest and credit to their coaches!
