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.
