Quotes:<\/p>\n
Rugby 365: \u201cReceived a permanent red card for a high shot on Paolo Garbisi in the 12th minute. The officials deemed that there was no wrap while attempting the tackle.\u201d<\/p>\n
FloRugby: \u201cHis red card shaped the match. The call looked harsh given the mitigation, but it still left South Africa under major pressure. Contributed well beforehand, but the sanction overshadowed his outing.\u201d<\/p>\n
RUCK: \u201cSome may feel James Doleman\u2019s call was harsh, but it was ultimately a reckless and avoidable red card.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rugby Pass: \u201cFor the second week in a row a South African lock was shown a red card for a high shoulder shot. Was there contact with Paolo Garbisi\u2019s head? That will be debated in the weeks to come. There is a more pressing matter here. <\/p>\n
\u201cSpringbok fans and coaches can complain about conspiracy theories and a lack of consistency, but this is clearly an issue that needs immediate redress. It\u2019s just not good enough at this level and the players and the entire management team need to take responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
