Shower of moaning cheaters. The Boks lost because they were beaten up badly so they cry wolf. Nothing new there then.

i seriously never knew that the irish were such whiners...even worse that the english these days.

surprised there hasn't been a belated request for a replay of the 2nd lions test. face it boys, the lions lost and you barely beat the Boks - a team at the end of a very long season.

i suggest you don't get too carried away with your first 6 nations trophy for 23 years.

FOUND: one dummy

Has the springbok logo on it. to see if it's yours visit www.stopwhinging.com

Burger was on the field at the time, maybe it was him !!!!

Brussow doesn't seem to have any injuries or marks from it, surprise suprise? maybe he should have put some makeup on the next day, people might have been fooled then. (just as the one's who looked up the site I listed above !!)

There was sufficient evidence on the field to suggest it had happened. There was not enough "Video Evidence" to charge.

Brussow left a ruck pointing to his eye during the game. Smit had a chat to the Referee straight away.

At least a hearing with verbal evidence being given would have sufficed. At least then it was officialised and not brushed over. It is an incredibly serious offence and warrents at least an official investigation. Hey if habanna was dragged before a hearing because of his kick! Wait now I'm just being biased

Those of you who knock the Boks consistently do so without any knowledge of how it feels to always have the IRB's rifles aimed at your side. Over the last year there have been countless posts by people calling the Boks whingers or paranoid when it comes to the citing process. What these people don't do is prove why we should not feel that we are always in the firing line. Every time a Bok player has been suspected of foul play the book has been thrown at him. Every time an opponent has been accused he gets of with the lightest sentence possible. Just because this European/NZ citing commissioner has not found reason to cite Heaslip does not prove that he was not guilty. I say it again, if it were a Bok player I would put money on it that he would have been suspended. The aggressive statements coming from the IRFU do not help relations between the two countries at all. Perhaps it is time to seriously ask why Ireland is the permanent home of the IRB. It needs to be moved to a neutral venue as is the case with cricket.

Abrad & Byron - where exactly is the evidence?! No one has any so not really a surprise its been thrown out!

It would be 'material and substantial' with evidence - without its just an allegation which seems to be false!

Now there is a surprise!!!

I am also surpirsed that the Ireland management does not consider eye gouging as 'material and substantial'

What a lot of clowns. Boks will just have to do better on the field.
