RWC: All Blacks v South Africa (Pool B)
-
Saying a ref favours the ABs is pretty disrespectful to all of the professional refs. For starters that Barnes game and the Lions non offside penalty are two howlers that cost us big time.
Tbh I think it’s swings and roundabouts, If I gave a bigger fuck I would go through the game and highlight the poor calls against the ABs. From what I remember the penalty against Whitelock for interfering in the lineout was a shocker, in replay he makes an effort to avoid the bok lock. The non card cynical tackle at start could have been pivotal. Lots of higher shots missed. Lots of offside missed.
In fairness I am bias so no doubt plenty ABs stuff missed too, however overall things even themselves out.
Richie lived with the cheating barbs his entire career, those arseclowns with Kearns as their leader can choke on the results.

Did I understand Hansen correctly that Cane passed the HIA but the officials still forced him to be subbed?
Also, on rewatch Savea took a few high shots, don't think any looked intentional but regardless.

To do with timing according to reports. He passed the test but the rules state he must do so within 10 minutes of leaving the pitch. I think that because they called him aside at half time the 10 minutes was up.
Shag and Shand have already spoken to tournament officials to clarify and make sure it doesn’t happen again. -

it happens in pretty much every code ,
people say the ref or other factors favor the better team, '
it just helps them deal with the reality, their team isnt up to the same standard

Another interesting observation was the penalty against the ABs for holding on with titsoff? Over the ball. I agree with it but it appeared from the replay he made no effort to actually grab the ball, it appeared his objective was to stay on his feet over the ball to win the penalty, which is smart play.
It’s almost as if you should rename the penalty to ineffective clean out.

I think the penalty was against Patty T who took a lifter out. But you never know with Garces.
One non-call that pissed me off was a high tackle on Ardie where the Bok player had him in a headlock.

Delighted to win. ALB was magical tonight. Moody made a lot of tackles. BB's passing for the Bridge try and Coles' pass before Scotty Barrett's try were excellent. Discipline the best for a long time.
Looked a bit rusty still. Some confusion in attack and we gave away a very soft try. Lots to work on before the knock outs.

Oh ok I missed that, but yeah that headlock and the shoulder in head in Aus game are two glaring misses in an area they are pedantic about.

Just read elsewhere the officials missed the clear knock on by Kolbe when he throws ball forward before going into touch, BB runs it out from goal line and subsequent play we pass it to the SA player in our backline. Should have been our advantage and back for knock on.

Disagree. Advantage should be over for a knock on if you make 15 metres which we did.

Does the 10 metre space gained within your goal line count? Surely discretion can be used, no way we got more advantage being trapped by our goal line. The advantage rules on attack at a tryline are huge compared to elsewhere. Maybe I’m getting confused between penalty advantage and knock on advantage.

Na, once the penalty for offside that was that.
Well, if it was given.
Genuinely baffled by twitterati. When entire comms team and all pundits (7/8 Uk) say NZ nailed by a couple of bad decisions you’d sort of expect some humility .... but noooooo must make videos of Dane Coles in from the side and try to make viral.
It’s pathetic.
