In the hour-long video, SA Rugby director of rugby Rassie Erasmus points out a string of inconsistencies from Australian referee Nic Berry in the first Test between the Springboks and the lionsofficial LionsSA2021 IOLSport LionsRugby LionsSA2021
Erasmus says the narrative from the Lions is that the Boks do not know the laws of the game and simply rely on a power game to steamroll opponents. Erasmus points out how in one instance, Berry “laughs Kolisi away” while listening intently to Wyn Jones.A late and armless shoulder charge on Faf de Klerk.
Makazole Mapimpi is held back by Elliot Daly when is trying to chase a kick, and when Siya Kolisi asks the officials to look at it, he is waved away by a touch judge but Lions captain Alun Wyn Jones is allowed to make his case to the same officials regarding Cheslin Kolbe knocking-on in the same movement.Berry is inconsistent in how long he allows for advantage — he shows the Boks getting an eight-second advantage and then the Lions get a 46-second advantage.

Erasmus is furious at this “total disrespect for the Springboks”.
