Jesse Kriel appeared to make a high tackle on Jack Dempsey in Marseille.
Murray Kinsella Reports from Stade de Marseille SCOTLAND HEAD COACH Gregor Towsend expressed his surprise that an apparent high tackle by Springboks centre Jesse Kriel on Scotland back row Jack Dempsey was not reviewed during his side’s 18-3 defeat in Marseille.
“There were opportunities, not many, in our attacking game but there was a couple in the first half and we needed to build on that second quarter but we start with some inaccuracies again and South Africa built on the points and it became difficult in those conditions against that defence to play from deep.Meanwhile, Springboks head coach Jacques Nienaber was pleased with his side’s first World Cup outing.
Nienaber was also asked about the use of coloured lights in the Springboks’ coaching box during the win over Scotland and insisted that they were for communication around player injuries. Earlier in his coaching career, Springboks director of rugby Rassie Erasmus used a ‘traffic lights’ system to direct players on which plays to call during games.
“We won’t even think about Ireland. The only way I will look at Ireland is that Romania have played against Ireland. It is Romania and Romania alone, not Ireland in 13 days’ time. And also the things we got wrong tonight.”
