Anyone hoping for some Springbok insights into the ongoing Owen Farrell red card drama would've been left disappointed as the world champions played back any questioning on the matter with a proverbial straight bat.

:"Quite simply, if we don't deal with actions like this as a red card offence, then the game is going to be in big trouble moving forward."

Stick's measured if somewhat stony response was in stark contrast to Warren Gatland's, whose Welsh team hosts the Boks at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday.'Absolutely disgusting': Ireland coach Farrell slams 'circus' over son Owen's rescinded red card "I've already said I don't want to talk about the Owen Farrell situation. That's already been spoken about. I don't want to talk about it."

"I'm just waiting to see what the final outcome of that is. Everyone wants clarity and certainty about all aspects of the game."
