Scrumhalf believes he was wrongfully yellow-carded against Australia
Faf de Klerk is still perplexed that he was yellow-carded against the Wallabies at the weekend. Here he is in action in the Rugby World Cup 2019 final against England at International Stadium Yokohama.Faf de Klerk doesn't believe there is something fundamentally amiss with the Springboks' discipline and he is still perplexed that he was ordered off the field with a yellow card in last weekend's defeat against the Wallabies.
Close to the end of the game Jasper Wiese was yellow-carded and later cited for dangerously clearing a ruck. He has since been cleared and will not face further sanction after a hearing.“Our discipline was pretty decent in the first half and in the previous games,” De Klerk asserted. “I think there have been a few errors from guys going off script.
De Klerk then got to the nub. “If we can stay in control of how we want to play, hopefully we get the scoreboard on our side and then we don't have to try some things and go out of character and away from the way we want to play.” De Klerk and No 8 Duane Vermeulen are desperate not to get sidetracked by the fanfare leading up to the 100th meeting between the Boks and the All Blacks.“Our main focus is just to get back on track in this competition,” said De Klerk. “Hopefully we'll play well and remain in contention to still win in. Obviously the history books will write it and it will be important to some people.
