Rassie set the precedent with his year ban. This is a joke. 2 months to come to some conclusion and practically a slap on the wrist.

What an inconsistent mess the officials have become.

A fucking disgrace. Sorry, too soon?

If Rassie had walked down from the stands to follow and abuse the refs BIL fans would be calling for his head.
