Jake White's bizarre stab at referee Brace after URC heartache: 'We were probably never in it' | Sport

Labelling his performance as"outstanding", White intimated the officiating at the breakdown and off-side line on defence was faulty. In a vintage display of innuendo, a visibly emotional Bulls mentor Jake White intimated his displeasure at the performance of Andrew Brace without actually criticising the United Rugby Championship final's referee.18-13 defeat at the Cape Town Stadium"It is what it is. I don't think we were ever going to win that game," said White.

Pressed on how crucial the yellow card of outside centre Cornal Hendricks for a shoulder-high hit on counterpart Ruhan Nel in the 56th minute was, White dismissed its significance, ostensibly because that decision proved the least of the Bulls' problems in hindsight."I don't want to get into the whole thing. I'm just telling you, there are things tonight that we couldn't control and we're never going to control them.

There's an argument to be made that the Bulls probably could've got stuck in more to paint the type of picture they clearly felt Brace was seeing though the rugby ethics of that would've been questionable. "There were a couple of times they went for the ball, missed it, came back and got it again and got rewarded. And if the referee sees it like that, that's great. The other things we can't control, we'll never control it. If we control them, we'll win. But we can't." "To be fair, I didn't even watch that contest. He's a good player, but Elrigh Louw and Arno Botha played well too.
