What a cracking series that was between both South Africa and Ireland over the past two weeks, sadly for the Springboks hooker Malcolm Marx he is ruled out injured due to a fracture on his ankle after the croc rule by James Ryan and Caelen Doris.
Malcolm Marx is out injured with a tibia fracture from that croc roll

As a neutral I thought it was officiated badly. Either 1 player should have got a red or both should have got yellows. Using the fact another player was also croc rolling onto an existing croc roll as a form of mitigation seemed bananas
I still don’t get what Doris did, Marx was still in the jackal position until Ryan hit the ruck which resulted in Doris landing in the leg, I thought Ryan was at fault here.
That said I suppose it’s good that it was a tibia fracture rather than a ligament injury.
Bla bla bla bla bla. I am a South African rugby fan but geecwiz, why these continuous blame throwing afterceach defeat? The full referee team made a decision on the Marx roll but then Rassie and his crownies had a lot say on it.
Hannes if it was South african players, they would both have received yellow card. I must also say the Springboks were totally outplayed in the first 40 minutes. Great test match.
Please take a look at the Irish injuries from first and second test matches in South Africa.
U hmmm, any of those injuries caused be illegal plays?
We are not complaining about loosing, we are struggling to understand why this infringement that caused a tibia fracture on Malcome was not called correctly by the officials. If you are indeed such a huge rugby fan, you will see that these types of dangerous infringements cause unnecessary injuries to players. If our players had injured an irish player, I can guarantee you that it would have been called out with a red card.
If that were true then RG Snyman would have been red carded for his late tackle on Irish scrum half in 1st Test.
What like when Berger was knuckle deep in a Lions players eye. Like that red card?
South Africa is harping on and on about why they didn’t beat Ireland let’s be honest they know they scored 2 soft very lucky trys in the first test then where extremely lucky to have a Tmo get the Irish try reversed these factors won SA the first game, but they played Awful rugby at least Ireland scored trys which where well worked in the first test. And Irelands game was slopes in the first test giving thise 2 easy high school toys, which South africa knows deep down the gods gave them those 2 trys.
The 2nd test all SA did was kick 3 pointers great rugby play lol I found that very un inspiring. At least Ireland actually runs the ball and scores hard worked trys and took their luck with the Drop. Yeh it sucks to be A Springbok in the last second but that’s the quality of the best team in the world Ireland.
So When South Africa wants to harp on about they the world champs I look at the quality of rugby and Ireland plays better rugby than Sa go look at the last 9 games saw won 3 but Irleand in World cups does flop out at the wrong times.
Infact Ireland have beaten multiple world champs right after the world cups.
The World Cup title means nothing to me my Team will always be the best team in the world for who they are and what they are.
Go Ireland 🇮🇪
Yes but never in the world where it matters.
Both teams played with their hearts, SA was just not the team on the day, Ireland took the opportunities….congrats Ireland
But still no world cups lol
