One fan wrote: "World Rugby, this is seriously a frickin joke. Come on. Springboks vs Italy. Mostert red card. What a pathetic joke."
Another commented: "Insane decision indeed. You’ve just watched Lood get sent off for a shoulder to the head last week, and then decide to do the same thing? Insane from Mostert:
Another said: "’d call that indirect head contact - hit in the chest and slides downwards due to Hooker’s simultaneous tackle. Also Mostert clearly isn’t going full force as he realises the pass has been made inside and Hooker has tackled - it’s like a bump off as he turns."
Another Wrote: "Rugby gone totally woke - NEVER a red card that for Mostert!:
