De Groot banned for 2 weeks. Probably fair. Keeps him out of harm’s way until the play offs so not all bad.

Bold of you to assume Uruguay aren't coming to take you down. Is that 2 weeks after his tackling course is taken into account?

Yes. Tackle school will bring it down from 3 weeks.
I’m sure Uruguay will bring the noise but surely even Foster can figure out a way to win that one…

Now, onto de Groot - yeah, homeboy deserved that red, but you've got to wonder about the consistency of the officiating and judicial system when Romain Taofifénua goes clattering into a Uruguayan in a manner not all that dissimilar to Tom Curry and Ethan de Groot, and appears to escape any significant punishment.
Do the bunker refs produce a report explaining their decisions? I would be fascinated to hear if their reasoning went anywhere beyond “host team member”.

I suspect the words 'no arms tackle' do not appear the report.

So now what is the plan after the WC?
Who will be the players/talents out there that NZ can use to build the next WC team?

Kiwis 30-0 over the Roos in the Tron. Sorry, but that was epic. All played out in front of at least 50 people in Hamilton.
