Lynagh is shite. He cost them that game in my view.
Also some dumb decisions by Wilson and Sua'ali'i at attacking rucks. Wilson sort of lost the plot in the 2nd half and wasn't making any ground carrying the ball. Unless they were cooked Schmidt's decision to replace Valetini at HT and Skelton early in the 2nd half was a mistake and proved costly.
Seems Bobby V and both props were gassed by halftime.
Valetini twinged his calf

Do we know if he'll be fit for the next test?

Going back to the Sheehan try, I can quite see his view about it being dangerous but, and I know this is a little different, how many times to we see a ruck near the line and a player picking up the ball and diving over the ruck to score? As i say I can see that it is different, but the question is, how do you police this? A ruck still has defenders which are being dived over. In truth it might have been better for the Lions if he hadn't scored and Slipper penalised for being on the ground and interfering with play. That would have been the third or fourth penalty on the trot and maybe a team yellow. Assuming the officials even noticed the offence that is.
We shouldn't be seeing this anymore - it's been outlawed.

Joe Schmidt's a cunning weasel.
Three days of talk about "the refereeing mistakes" has shifted the Australian media and public's attention from how utterly dogshit the Wallabies' defence was on Saturday.

Thanks. The only things there though are that 1) it is simply referring to existing laws and 2) that it is not really specific enough:-
Can't jump on top of a ruck
and
Don't do anything reckless or dangerous.
It's stuff like this that leaves so much ambiguity, which in turn leads to things coming down to interpretation.
Just say "cannot dive over a ruck". No ambiguity.

Do you know the best way to decide on these arguments if someone was cleaned out illegally or player jumped etc, people quoting the law book have to stop quoting just a particular one , without quoting the one that trumps all:
6.5Within the playing enclosure:
a. The referee is the sole judge of fact and of law during a match. The referee must apply the laws of the game fairly in every match.

Not sure.
Might as well save him for Bledisloe at this point.

That sounds like something Egon Seconds' representative would say.

Might do whoever Seconds is, but is it correct or wrong?

Correct it what sense? That it's written in the laws or absolves referees from criticism?

What is written in laws. And don't we play under the laws of the game?
I not saying in anyway we don't have the rights to opinion, it's good we have them. What it's saying are we are just yelling at space, this whole was it a penalty or not is answered by that law. -

Half the point of rugby forums is for old men to yell at clouds.
The laws should be as simple and consistent as possible as well as protecting player safety otherwise rugby will die with Boomers, Gen X, and older Millennials.
Morgan was probably legal for me but can you then say the laws are doing enough to protect player safety?
From a head/neck perspective jackler clean outs as they are, are easily more dangerous than rucking.

You might as well leave the forum if you think quoting that no correspondence can be entered into after the referee makes a decision extends into none of us being permitted to discuss the application of the law and whether or not there's a clear discrepancy between the applications of the relevant laws both within games and from game to game. Let alone whether a deal has been made or a referee just decided not to apply the laws at all.

Couldn't agree more Brodean, I think the problem is, in a game as dynamic as rugby, you can't have exact laws etc for evry situation, hence why I quoted the law.
And I agree the whole jackal thing is more dangerous than rucking, why I would be happy for him jackal to be outlawed. -

Wasn't an argument , just suggesting that I see the law as being always stumped by law 6.5 and that is a strange thing perhaps in rugby. As I said we can discuss (and it's good we do) interpretations etc, but after a while it still comes back to that.
You know in say cricket the third umpire can over rule the umpire, but in rugby TMO can't do same to ref. He can only suggest (strongly) but ref is the final decision maker. -

the issue is right now it' basically the only way to contest possession. If you forced offensive and defensive teams to stay upright and push over the ball you'd have something closer to the old school rucks. Mind you, it may involved rucking people who are on the ground - another incentive to not go to ground willingly.

Ultimately the ref needed to understand the occasion and what people wanted to see. Don't have a feel for the game, have a feel for the series.
With that in mind it should have been a Wallaby penalty, and a yellow card to Owen Farrell.
I agree that if it was a 50 50 call then it should have been a penalty to the Wallabies and a yellow card to Owen Farrell.
