🚨The South African supporters are not happy with the announcement made ahead of the Irish test ..

Ireland are set to take on the Springboks today at a sold out Aviva Stadium in Dublin. Matthew Carley will be the man in the middle and wouldn’t you know it some of the Saffas are not happy with this decision ..

Referee – Matthew Carley (RFU)
Ass Referee 1 – Karl Dickson (RFU)
Ass Referee 2 – Christophe Ridley (RFU)
TMO – Andrew Jackson (RFU)
FPRO – Dan Jones (RFU)

An all English affair! They’ll have a glass of wine on Friday evening to discuss the RED CARD candidate.

Well done IRE!

Here are some of the comments online ..

Love how the South Africans always prepare their excuses a week out from a possible defeat.
Imagine being so insecure even with 4 rugby world cups in their trophy cabinet.
It’s all one big conspiracy theory against the Springboks, world rugby & every nation is against them 🤡

England refs have more reason to hate South Africa. Boks have broken England’s heart twice in the last 2 world cups.

Ireland have nothing to be worried about

Congrats to Ireland on the win ..
