Henderson,s was a 50/50, some are given and some not but that,s the way it goe,s.
SA yellow well that is always a ref,s call and if warned and he take,s no heed well then the yellow will come out.
It was harsh in my opinion also. I recall Mike Brown during the Game against Ireland stamping on Murray not once, not twice but 3 times when he was stuck at the btm of a ruck. Where was the duty of care there??
Both players had committed to the high ball, the South African came out the worst. I have seen the exact same tackle in many games the decision going the other way, penalising the player on the ground not bringing the player in the Air safely to ground. Had Standler fell to the ground and also got knocked out, would they both have being sent off!!
Yellow card offence, nothing more. I expect he will be free to play at least one of the next 2 test matches.
