World Cup: World Rugby would have recognized three forgotten South African faults against the French XV

The elimination of the French XV against the Springboks in the quarter-final (28-29) is difficult to overcome. And the referee continues to be criticized. According to Midi Olympique, World Rugby supervisors reviewed and analyzed the match, and in particular the match between Ben O’Keeffe and his assessors. According to the specialist media, five major errors were noted, including three against the XV of France.

The first on a dangerous clearing with a header from Du Toit on Danty (17th), which should have earned the tough South African a yellow card; the second on the (too) rapid rise of Cheslin Kolbe on the transformation of Ramos (22nd), which should have been attempted again, and, finally, the illicit scratching of Kwagga Smith (68th) on Cameron Woki. The latter initially placed his hands on the ground before attacking the ball. An error with serious consequences. Mr. O'Keeffe wrongly awarded the penalty to South Africa, which Handré Pollard was responsible for winning to offer his team qualification.

But World Rugby would also have pointed out two significant errors which were not whistled against the Blues. An uncontrolled tackle by Damian Penaud on Eben Etzebeth (9th) which should have earned the winger a yellow card, and an offside by Cameron Woki not penalized (78th). An almost balanced balance sheet which should put an end to the controversies over the New Zealander's arbitration.
