I am of the opinion that it was absolutely a penalty ROG clattered into Du Preez when he was in mid air, it was a completely hair brained tackle as he was not even close to the ball & yet again he cant just shut his mouth and accept he screwed up, he is far to quick to dish it out on everyone else i.e. when he criticised Geordan Murphy for missing a tackle for Ireland some time back when he is non other than the proverbial speed bump himself! For all his undoubted abilities he could do with taking a long look in the mirror at himself. In relation to the foul play on both sides which dsds refers to being on both sides, its a ridiculous argument the Boks were clearly the biggest offenders here Burgers gouge on Fitzgerald was a disgrace & warranted 6 months at the very least as usual southern hemisphere leniency when it comes to discipline, also to bracket O'Driscol in the category as the Boks when he clearly tries to wrap the player and hits head in the process, this at least while maybe a foul was done honestly & without any malice
