'I spoke to Joe Schmidt after the game, he felt they got away with one'

Although it looked to have developed by the time they got to NZ perhaps they recognized it was outplayed that series by a bare bones fresh team? That they couldn't hold out hope that the one reason they put all the effort into it, to beat the All Blacks, would pay off anymore?

That, and that they actually have 3 threatening outside backs to duke it out with now.

Every team though has what it takes with only the front row replacements to counter the Springboks. All they need to is follow their own tactics and stop the game every few minutes and they won't need to sub their 8 at all (and SA won't get any benefit from bring on the bomb squad).

But it was not a work place incident, and law proved him in the right, so the company policy doesn't mean jack.

Yes, bit of a young pup, and a bit out there/opinionated but seems a reasonable head on his shoulders (don't like his commentary/manner though). Was on the Mark Bouris (YT) show.

I completely disagree with everything Folau said. I think he's a hateful bigot. But I hope that any of us would have the courage to take the sack if we were in the same position of having an employer whose policies we completely disagreed with.
