Two of the best rugby teams in the world locked horns in Dublin last night and by God was it a mess. Unfortunately, we saw the worst of Test rugby rather than the best.
The match referee Matthew Carley will undoubtedly be criticised by Irish fans, and I think he made an error early in the game when he decided that the new Springbok superstar Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu wasn’t guilty of any thing more than a penalty when he shoulder-charged Tommy O’Brien in the head.
