good comeback by the South Africans, not that you would be happy though

South Africa coach Peter de Villiers said not only should Burger not have been sent off but he should not have been shown a card of any colour.

"I don't think it should have been a card at all," De Villiers said.

"For me and for everybody, this is sport. This is what it is all about. This is great if everything is clear cut in this environment we are in we shouldn't try to prepare even.

"What people think and what people say to us is their opinion and we honour their opinion but it doesn't mean we all agree with it."

Burger is suspended until late August and will subsequently miss the first three matches of South Africa's Tri-Nations campaign but Botha will be available for the world champions' opener against New Zealand in Bloemfontein on 25 July.

Thanks for that GDB...guess the details will filter through eventually.

So in the interests of yin and yang and balance and all that stuff it must be the AB's turn now...so who are they going to lose for a few games at least ?
