Sports   (Talk about balls here.)

Golden Bear, I also watched the final and felt that the tackle did not merit a red card.
Also, the aggressive tackle by the South African player, which earned him a yellow card, was possibly a deliberate head-to-face tackle. As we witnessed, no further action was taken.
The All Blacks had their chances and really should have wrapped the game up. Some loose handling of the ball by the All Blacks only helped South Africa to maintain their position and it gave them hope; possibly, kept their spirits up.
Those two missed kicks undoubtedly lost the All Blacks the game. If only one had put points on the board, I couldn't have seen South Africa coming back.
