All Blacks captain receives first ever men's World Cup final red card against South Africa

I believe RugbyPass is owned by World Rugby, so the articles should be impartial now but the NZ bias is still very evident thanks to the likes of jokester Ben Smith (who blocked comments on a recent laughable article). On that matter RugbyOnslaught, also owned by RugbyPass, is also a complete disgrace like our friend Ben.

It’s about time NZ’s illegal dangerous play gets called out. Just remember your dirty play cost your country the World Cup! What kind of fine or ban did he receive for that disgusting tackle? There number 6 should have been red carded in the first minute of the game!!!

Congratulations to South Africa you weathered the black storm and came away victorious. Amazing defence throughout this tournament and worthy winners and Champions of the world for a record 4th time!!! Hats off to the Spring Boks green machine 🙌🏿🙌🏿 👍🏿

It was a bitter pill for our All Black team and supporters to swallow but we have to suck it up and give credit where credit is due. Never mind about blaming refs and dicks in a booth 😂 it’s over, it’s history and now it’s time to move on to a new All Black chapter that we should all be excited about! To our beloved All Black side who showed incredible character, courage and belief to keep pushing but were pipped at the post. You have nothing to be ashamed about it just wasn’t your day.

Over the past 120 plus years our team’s history is steeped in success (unmatched by any other team in the history of sport) and although we were beaten today, we will pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and be excited for what lies ahead. That’s what us Kiwis do. ✊🏿

I’m not a die-hard rugby fanatic. And yes it would have been nice if NZ had won. But on the day it was SA and their turn to be #1. Remember, it is only a game. Be grateful Hammas don't play rugby. That should help those with a skewd perspective on believing this game is so important, it's not.

It was accidental and it happens from time time. Why would the Captain deliberately risk that move? You have no idea what you are talking about.

Yes, because the intent was to cause the body injuries to the best team in the world.

Yes yesssss luckily I'm from the Wit Kant 🤣🤣👍👍

I would Like to Say: New Zealand deserved to lose you guys missed 2 penalty kicks and in the world of professional Rugby….

South Africaaaaaaaaaaaa back to wins!!!!!!!!!!whoooohooooo

For me, the Cane incident was run of the game. (as was Kolisi and Kolby) The Frizell incident however was deliberate and not run of the game. Not only was he playing from illegal position he went in to injure. That was the red card

We’re we watching the same game? It always amuses me how opposing supporters see the game form a different perspective, and believe it. A bit like that fellow Trump!

And, if you care to review the game, MM ‘s pass that resulted in the AB try was at least one metre forward! There is the view from the touchline that shows it clearly, if you can look at it objectively!
