Referee Jaco Peyper had his Rugby World Cup quarter-final appearance ended in the 16th minute in Marseille on Saturday.

The South African, who took charge of the opening match of the tournament when France hosted the All Blacks on September 8 in Paris, was appointed last Tuesday for the Wales versus Argentina last-eight clash at Stade Velodrome.

However, as soon Dan Biggar converted his own try to put Wales in front 7-0, Peyper called time off and spoke to the two captains back on the halfway line, Argentina’s Julian Montoya and Wales’ Jac Morgan.

      The official explained that needed to go off due to a left leg injury sustained when awkwardly jumping out of the way of a Montoya carry to an earlier Argentine ruck.

      “My calf is gone,” he said. “I couldn’t keep up with play there. We’re going to have to change referee, give it over to Mr Dickson here. Just give us a minute.”

      With the clock stopped at 15:25, Pepyer said his goodbyes and limped gingerly to the touchline to be examined by doctors and replaced as the quarter-final referee by Karl Dickson, who had been on touchjudge duty along with Andrea Piardi.

      Harness Skelton's might and move Sua'ali'i: How the Wallabies can fix things for Test two

      That fighting Aussie spirit really served them well last week when they were down 24-5 early in the second, to rally back to 27-19 and dominate the last quarter was really impressive. I dont subscribe to the thought that the Lions took their foot off the gas. The Lions are not flawless. This group goes through periods in matches where they run riot and then through other periods where their game almost devolves as they try to play too much and lose all momentum falling flat. The strongest most consistent part of their game is their defence. I feel like the weakest part could be their set piece especially that creaky scrum which really should be doing better against Australia. If this Lions side was playing against the Springboks or All Blacks they would not be winning collisions and their set piece would be under serious scrutiny. Australia must try to do better in the collisions and put more pressure on the Lions set piece. They must bring line speed and power to their defence. They cannot afford to give up any soft tries and they must bring urgency at the start of the game. They need to force the Lions to play on their terms and to play from behind. If the Lions race out to an early lead all bets are off, if they keep momentum for a protracted period the game will be up. Australia must spoil, harass, frustrate and compete in every ruck, maul, scrum and lineout. Its time to face the Lions head on.

      Steve Hansen: The Boks are 'rolling the dice and so far they’ve got away with it'

      As I said, always blame the ref. The Boks can't win unless the ref helped. It was a hooker and not a prop. You don't even have your facts straight. You just confirmed what I said idiot. Blame the ref for the try😂As for hate? I don't hate the AB's, just some of their fans like you. You don't look at the whole picture. All you see is AB's players. You don't look at the opposition. No, you see what you want to see and then open your mouth, spew drivel and then get heated up about it screaming hate. Yes, the Boks haven't won in NZ in awhile. Boo hoo, cry me a river. That will change. A very strong AB's side barely beat a weak C French team and you think they are in such a good place. I would not bleat such prowess if I were you. The Boks played against much weaker opposition and they were very disappointing. Lots to work on. However, we know what these Boks are capable of. We know what the youngsters are capable of. We know the depth we have and that depth is extreme. Lots of new youngsters bleeding through too. Better than most of the current AB's. Have you watched the URC? No. Japan league? No. English Premiership? No. You watch SR and you are awed by what you see. You think the world will fall at the AB's feet, that they will smash everyone in front of them(couldn't do it to a C French team). You are blind. Foolish. Big mouth and overhyping a team that is already out of time for the WC. At the most 17 Tests left to give players time to shine. Razor doesn't even have a full A team yet. Prospects yes. Possible future stars, yes. The Boks have about 3 teams, and about 3 teams with star studded youngsters that can shift up. What will the AB's do when there is injuries? Red card bans? AB's are good. They always will be. However, they are wafer thin in the talent department. As I said, I love the AB's, just not all its arrogant supporters of which you are one. You get good supporters, not you, and then bad woke idiots, that's you!
