Burger ban reduced
Schalk Burger’s four match ban has been cut back to two matches.
Burger still won’t be able to play against England on Friday, but he will be available for the quarter-final against one of Australia or Wales.
Burger’s appeal hearing lasted two hours in Paris on Thursday morning.
Bok coach Jake White had hoped for a complete turnaround of the original suspension.
All Blacks flanker Jerry Collins meanwhile labelled the suspension of Burger as unfair and said 10 players could have been cited from the match involving the Boks and Samoa.
“It’s a long way to come for your tournament to end early, but what can you do? Like Schalk, you go in low and then clip him high. It’s just the luck of the draw who gets picked up and who doesn’t.
“It is like having someone looking over your shoulder. You have it in the back of your mind, but the game is brutal and these things happen.”
Collins, like All Blacks captain Richie McCaw and Australian loose-forward George Smith have had their fair share of yellow cards because of the nature of their position. But for the most these guys have never been singled out for dirty play.
Burger, in particular, is not the brawling type and he doesn’t throw punches on a rugby field.
Burger, since his test debut in 2004, has received five yellow cards, but all of them have been for professional fouls in slowing down the ball illegally at the ruck.
The judiciary acknowledged his disciplinary record and the fact that there had been no predetermined intent to hurt his opponent, yet he was given a four match suspension.
Samoan flanker Vaeluage pleaded guilty to a dangerous tackle, but argued it was not intentional and he was given just a one match ticking off.

[yarrumsg]

i know shocking hey...

it's all the saturday work i put in

[Patson]

listen im in for all fair and that ban was @#$$#@! im a kiwi boy but why over do something as to ban a boy in his prime from the world cup...

[biffon]

a yellow card should have been the end of it.. it was clearly obvious that he was going for the ball and just followed through.. it was silly, possibly dangerous but not intended and noone got hurt.
methinks there are other forces at work here...

[barto11]

surely the citing comission should only be for incidents not picked during the game...how does a player get banned when the ref didnt feel what happened justified a yellow?

[biffon]

same reason how the american got cited for the spear tackle..
again although it was dangerous It was obvious he had lost his balance before the player was even past the horizontal and did not have any control over how the tackle progressed from that point.. I think he should have been red carded sure and maybe a 1 match ban but 5? wow thats harsh! even tuqiri's spear tackle last year only got him 2 matches and they were suspended too.

Burgers tackle should have been a yellow card, Vickery's trip should have been a yellow card.

[Patson]

dont tell anyone but really impressed with the SA boys but more so with ur scrum half wow what a player....
and something and some one i hate watchin with a passion ...old perci... is havin a great world cup so far.....

[Chick]

I bet Perci's got a peachy bum ...... yum yum

[sally]

[barto11]

[sally]

[barto11]

[Patson]

they def didnt digrace themselves they played bloody hard allllll the way through ....im goin to portugal... did u see those chicks dam ...

makes note for october holiday yebo...

* Patson is sorry for wales ...dam the auzi's :smiley36:

[SpaRHawK]

Got to add that the Ireland Vs Georgia was the best game I've watch so far in the tournament... was really hoping the Georgia would pull it out of the bag and win... being a front row myself I found their physical rolling maul and constant pick and drive stratergy was sterling.

Good honest rugby.

Now bring on Samoa Vs Tonga... now your gonna see some crunching tackles.

[barto11]

have 2 say mighty impressive, feel sorry for ireland they were such a force this time last year, i feel the gorgian's were a bit to much pack and not enough line, if they can pull some fancy moves or even the opposite kick down the field they could have a good chance... heck if they had a runner like habana that masvillie character can sure boot that ball...

[squeakyB]

botox baby botox!

[yarrumsg]

lol i don't think percy does botox he has just aged well, and hasn't had stress and probably hasn't boozed it up loads...


and the spreadsheet is up todate...

[biffon]

Tonga did bloody well in Beating Samoa, they have taken a big step up this year thats for sure!

[Shayne]

Abs have already sent the cup to the engravers and ordered the champers for the celebrations.

[biffon]

isnt that what you said about the Warriors?

[Shayne]

Hey bugger you Biffon. That cut me bad, real bad :smiley19: :smiley19: :smiley19:

Aw sweet nice of the ABs to get the party celebrations for the Bokka already... glad they can admit defeat now... :)

[Shayne]

You wish and so do the rest of us.

[Nyala]

From a women perspective:

The AB's have not been playing to their normal standard and seem to have been falling slightly - this could partly be due to all the penalties against Jerry Collins for rough play etc.

The Wallabies seem to have lifted their game with a new coach and new young players...looking at Drew Mitchell.

The Bokke seem to be moving forward in leaps and bounds...playing great rugby.


...so, at a punt I'd say the final will be Bokke and Ab's....with the Bokke taking the cup.

(This from someone who unfortunatly does not get to watch all matches due to work commitments)

as much as i hope it will be an ABs Bokka final and yes the bokka are lookin good but there is a big step between good and brillllllliance and thats why as Shayne said we already sent the cup in for engravin....:smiley36:

They'd better not choke on the receipt... otherwise they won't get their money back... :smiley36:

[biffon]

the all fakes will be CHOKING on the grass thats churned up after Giteau SIDESTEPS them all and scores the winning try in the Rugby World Cup FINAL!

biff i think between u and the french ...u guys wont even be seeing the final ... :smiley36:

I just got my world cup allblacks jersey today ...:smiley20:

[biffon]

thats insulting comparing the wallabies with the french!
have a little more respect for the team that beat down your asses in the last 4 world cups!

that being said NZ were looking simply awesome yesterday .. cant say as much for the Saffas though... they bloody nearly lost their game!
The wallabies were always gonna win their match but disapointing injuries and sloppy defence cost them.

[Shayne]

I'll say it again. I cant see anyone coming within 30 points of the ABs in this world cup :(

But thios poster is great .... :smiley36:

[Shifty]

Think I'll stay out of this one but I have to say that poster makes the Wallaby fans look like a bunch of bum-bandits.

Unlike zimajay, it looks like they know exactly which hole to poke. :whistling:

:smiley2:

[yarrumsg]

shocking... still think Bokka have a good chance we'll see exactly what the score is... remember that the last time the All Backs and the Ozzies faced a full strength SA team they both got humped... nuff said!!!

[barto11]

that being said NZ were looking simply awesome yesterday

I didn't think they were that awesome against the scots...they threw away at least 30 points against a very, very sub-standard scottish side...

[Nyala]

Can anyone post the points-board as it stands today?

:p so demanding.... was going to wait till the end of the weekend with all the points..... will update shortly...

[georgie]

Watch and learn.

The Wallabies are slightly above average and shouldnt be mentioned in the same sentence with The Springboks and All Blacks.

Lets talk about choking in the Rugby World Cups. The Ab's have been the best side consistantly for the last couple of decades and havent won in 20 years.

They're a fine side when not being challenged, but get terribly flustered when it doesnt go their way,

Trust me this world cup will be no different.
