All Blacks v BI Lions Test #3

As in that's what Poite said to Read. He didn't play it with his hand first, it hit Owen's upper arm area. (He demonstrated the upper arm bit). It was not deliberate, it was accidental is what he said. Therefore, Accidental Offside.
Something tells me that we'll never get to hear what Garces said though.

In other words, the officials thought it was an unavoidable/accidental offside and believed that a penalty was the correct sanction. Garces then intervenes and says the correct sanction is a scrum to black.
You'd have to be Helen Keller to think Owens has been accidentally hit by the ball here; he reaches for the fucking thing:
Leaving aside what I'm suggesting was the decision process by Poite et al, I personally think that Owens could not avoid being hit by the ball in that situation. Your gif undoubtedly shows his left arm going out. But given his speed, contact was inevitable and unavoidable.
There's a second between the ball hitting Williams and Owens catching it. ~27 frames at 25fps. If he had not played at the ball, 11.6 (accidental offside) would probably have come into play. But he decided to catch it.

@Crucial said in All Blacks v BI Lions Test #3:
That clip even throws out my generous assessment that there would have been unavoidable contact anyway. If he doesn't reach and gather the ball it goes right past him
The more I look at that clip, the more I think it was not a knock-forward. The ball goes backward or level to Williams since he is falling backwards anyway. And from that clip, it looks like the ball came off Williams face but I suspect there are some frames missing due to the frame rate grab.
It's immaterial if the ball went forward. Owens is offside and played at the ball. The ball definitely comes off Williams.

Eh? It's immaterial if the ball went forward? Surely it is absolutely material? If it didn't knock forward then it wouldn't be a knock-on. It's the knock-on law that makes it a penalty??
My point about it coming off Williams face also means it's not a knock on. But the frame rate in the clip above is too slow to be sure about this.

@Pot-Hale again, that is not the point of contention, the TMO & ref agreed it went forward, I expect even Garces agreed it went forward, given he claimed it was accidental, so that is irrelevant.
What is relevant is that the player caught the ball, as is caught it, didnt drop it.
Pretty hard to accidentally catch something, probably easier to accidentally drop something than accidentally catch something.
I suspect the comms are recorded, but as with all things reffing, these will be shrouded in secrecy and privy only to the reffing big wigs to listen too in thier drunken stupor.

On Sky program The Breakdown. Jim Kayes said Garces conversation to Poite was simply "Romaine, have you considered a scrum?", then after 10 seconds of silence/thought Poite said "Oui, Jerome".
Kayes said in the press box they get the inter-ref audio.
Nothing scandalously juicy, but just wrong.
Programme is probably be on YouTube by now, if you want to look it up.

I know the knock on is not the point of contention. And I know Poite and Ayoub agreed on it. And I know that Poite thought it hit his upper arm first and not played it with his hand first. It was accidental, not deliberate.
And that's the only public reasoning that we know of from Poite for his decision.

@Bones You don't think being thrown under the bus had any effect in him choosing 7's?
I thought he switched because he so surprised himself with his own turn of speed leaving the pitch at the end of the Scotland v Australia match in the RWC that he thought he'd be better suited to sevens...

That's interesting. Because there isn't 10 seconds of silence. Poite turns from Pepyer after Ayoub says "Yes I am" and the two captains come up to him and he says to them whilst showing with his hands mimicking in the air:
"Fair contest. Oui Jerome?"Then he puts his hand to his earpiece and is evidently listening to something. He puts his hand to his earpiece a second time as he calls the two captains together.

It's my rough recall of Kayes' explanation.

@Bovidae blocking, pfft, only the boys in black do that!!

Lost in all this discussion is that Te'o impeded Read as he jumped. The reverse angle shows that Read gets bumped. But the Lions wouldn't resort to illegal blocking would they?

No, it's the offside and playing at the ball that makes it a penalty.
Owens is offside after Williams butchers the take and no one, from either side, puts Owens onside in accordance with the laws of the game.

If the ball has been touched by a teammate who is behind you, you are now offside. You can only be put onside by having that or another onside player, run past you towards the opponent's dead ball line. Or as the offside player, you can run behind the team-mate who last kicked, touched or carried the ball. Otherwise, you need an opponent carrying the ball to run 5 metres, or an opponent kick, pass or intentionally touch the ball.

It's immaterial if the ball went forward. Owens is offside and played at the ball. The ball definitely comes off Williams.
Is thst correct? Surely if the ball's gone back then you're not offside? Can't be bothered googling the law ...
If the ball has been touched by a teammate who is behind you, you are now offside. You can only be put onside by having that or another onside player, run past you towards the opponent's dead ball line. Or as the offside player, you can run behind the team-mate who last kicked, touched or carried the ball. Otherwise, you need an opponent carrying the ball to run 5 metres, or an opponent kick, pass or intentionally touch the ball.

In other words, the officials thought it was an unavoidable/accidental offside and believed that a penalty was the correct sanction. Garces then intervenes and says the correct sanction is a scrum to black.
You'd have to be Helen Keller to think Owens has been accidentally hit by the ball here; he reaches for the fucking thing:
Leaving aside what I'm suggesting was the decision process by Poite et al, I personally think that Owens could not avoid being hit by the ball in that situation. Your gif undoubtedly shows his left arm going out. But given his speed, contact was inevitable and unavoidable.

You are clearly not Roman Poite

ery balanced summary, if it hasn't been posted previously:http://www.the42.ie/eddie-osullivan-lions-questions-2-3490226-Jul2017/

My last word (extract of rant this morn to Kiwi mates):
I just finished the tape. The Lions were incredibly lucky to get that draw. To be fair they grasped every last opportunity the ref gave them in that second half.
-
Penalty from inside own half 12-9.
-
Kick to corner from AB penalty. Spun wide. Savea over but Jordie had thrown low pressure pass 5 yards forward when any legal pass was a walk in.
-
ABs on top when Kaino carded. That was a joint tackle with Sam W. AWJ's head was beneath the shoulders of Kaino, who is the shorter. It was only head high because AWJ folded at the waist. A penalty would have been harsh, but a yellow was ridiculous. As Craig said, real momentum changer.
-
Lions good period 15 v14, culminating with penalty for 'high' tackle by BBBR on Lawes. But clear on replay that BBBR's arm was never at head height and contact made with chest and shoulder. Lions fan on Thursday volunteered to me no penalty. 12-12
-
AB pressure. Lions force knock on from AB midfield surge on Lions 22. From scrum Lions TH goes to ground right in front of Clouseau. Penalty (not sure it was collapse, more not holding up). 15-12
-
ABs power into Lions half. Scrum on Lions 22 at 72 minutes. ABs in control. Cruden/Fekitoa on, Laumape/Savea off. ABs run Savea move off scrum with Dagg. He is not a bus. Turnover. Really dumb from ABs! Even a droppie would have been better? Lions wangle scrum penalty from their 'step sideways' ploy, which makes scrum screw violently. Work their way to halfway. Crockett tackles Itoje, who holds him in ruck. Half milks penalty, three yards in AB half. 15 all. Lions have had six points from penalties no closer than three yards inside AB half. Maybe outside 10 metre mark penalties ought to count for two?
-
Reversed penalty from kick off. You know the rest.
In the last ten minutes the ABs were almost entirely in Lions half. Yet they failed to rack up any points. Lions made it three yards into AB half and nabbed 3.
We ought to have been out of sight at halftime. But the big wake up call is that ABs had much the better of second, but lost it 9-3. The decision making in calling moves around the 72 minute mark was naive and amateur. Sort it Shag!
Glad to get that off my chest!
