South Africans reckon there would have been a different outcome had the currently suspended Lood de Jager be playing for Ireland or England.
That is according to Springboks legend Jean de Villiers, who believes that the second-row forward has been very harshly treated.
De Jager was issued a permanent red card just before the interval during the Boks’ 32-17 victory over France in Saint-Denis and was then handed a four-week ban.
He appealed that suspension but, according to reports, it has been rejected by an independent disciplinary penal, much to the frustration of De Villiers.
