South Africa exits rugby world cup

As expected, the test was tight. Australia scored the only try, but South Africa dominated the game especially in the second half. For a while, The Boks took the lead.

Perhaps the most notable aspect of the game was the quality of refereeing. The ref made one blatant error after another, all in Australia's favour. Two suspect decisions are the forward pass that preceded what should have been Brian Habana's try. Later, a penalty was awarded to Australia that should have gone to SA.

As a rule I avoid criticizing referees but this dispay was a true disgrace.

So we are out but not disgraced.
