    @Tordah

    On 35 minutes, it looks Le Roux says to a Tongan player “fuck off you black fluffybunny”

    @Jailbreak7
    A mate pinged me to say that he said it.

    I have it on my phone but not sure how to upload a video here

    Yeah he says 'fuck off you black.....'. Pretty obvious lip reading.

    Le Roux is a tool, even Kolisi had a go at him earlier in the year for being a dick.

    @Canes4life if thats the case, you'd have to see a ban coming?

    @taniwharugby no of the commentators mentioned it but if it surfaces on social media I'm sure he won't be able to hide from it.

    @Canes4life

    Well, 3 or 4 of us have seen it from here. Presumably a tongan heard it with many more seeing it around the world.

    So, nothing will happen then!

    @DaGrubster yeah I just meant no one has mentioned it on the broadcast. I'm sure it will be dealt with after the game.

    No idea how that’s different than Curry’s.

    Shoulder to head, saw him coming, never got in a position to make a legal tackle so no mitigation. Genuinely baffled by that one

    @Dodge said in RWC Week 4: Springboks v Tonga:

    I’m guessing you’ve never played rugby?

    Not since this head contact law has been consistently refereed all season until the World Cup

    So many no-arms chop tackles are ignored when defending the try line so why did Cronan decide to interject for that one?

    Re the head shot stuff, It’s so weird to watch as a NH fan, all year the interpretation would have been as per Luke Pearce’s reaction. The Aussies seem to have totally different interpretation (it was Aussie officials who cleared Farrell) and Aussie TMO disagreed with Pearce who then changed his decision

    @Dodge It was the two English ARs who disagreed with Pearce, and Cronan (TMO) then agreed with them. I'm not saying it was the right decision.

    Ah, I misheard. Fair enough. I don’t understand what the mitigation was based on the decision making protocols though.
