Whenever I read things like this, directly targeting key (legal) elements of the Springboks' game, I'm reminded of Jacques Nienaber's words (as heard in Chasing the Sun 2):
"We will not be scripted out of the movie because you decided that...fuck you, we'll write our own story."
If any Springbok did this during the series, the Irish would scream bloody murder. Say again, both James Ryan and Caelan Doris knew exactly what they were doing.
