The Herald SaysWallabies' referee Bryce Lawrence admits key blunders

.
The South African Team did not play against Australia; they played against the referee Bryce Lawrence.
Mr Lawrence  robbed South Africa of a win. He made errors in his decisions over, over and over again.
Referees have gotten away with their lack of judgements at the cost of good teams. 
Referees that make wrong decisions to the point that it costs the team the game, should be penalized, investigated and the game overturned. 





Why should I and others not make an assumption that it was a fixed game?!

As per The Telegraph "Bryce Lawrence reduced breakdown to a farce in Australia's win over South Africa".
 The Telegraph also commented the following  

"Mr Bryce Lawrence, the son of an official, is rated rather highly by those in charge of the whistle blowers, but  a lot of players and fans have absolutely no idea why he made a complete hash of today's game between Australia and South Africa  and the Springboks will be furious".

I am relieved and thankful  I never went  to New Zealand to watch South Africa play. It would have been a very expensive experience to see my country robbed of a quarter final win.

We South Africans are very proud of our Bokke. Well done Boys!...
You Bryce Lawrence, hope you are investigated and charged.  I am aware it is too late for our Springboks, but worth it to see you be tried in court. I have no idea how you can sleep at night.
I hope Australia loses the next game, as they did not deserve the win over SA.
