AB Test Team v France.

@taniwharugby said in AB Test Team v France.:
so apparently Gardner has apologized to SBW saying he shouldn't have carded him...?
This is gold:
"I remember laying on the ground. I looked up at (Damian McKenzie) and I said 'bro, am I allowed to do that?' He looked at me and he shook his head."
That's excellent!

Angus doesn't know the laws himself then.
"A penalty try must be awarded if the offence prevents a try that would probably otherwise have been scored. A player who prevents a try being scored through foul play must either be cautioned and temporarily suspended or sent off."
The questionable part of the decision is the penalty try. Once that is confirmed he has to send SBW off.

I am very surprised by that apology. The decision was absolutely bang on and (I thought) showed a good knowledge of the laws at the time.

Wasn't questionable. Clearest PT since Cribb tackled Burke.

There is discretion, so SBW did not necessarily need to be yellow carded, but yeah, definite penalty try

@no-quarter actually I think he got it wrong initially by having to go to the TMO to decide on the YC as he had only awarded the PT to start with.
However as I have alluded to earlier, I think in this instance, the PT rule is wrong but they aren't gonna change the rule for a case like this.

Refer to the Maori-French Baabaas game for another example, it is always a PT and YC.
The important point is that a player only has to have prevented try from PROBABLY being scored by a high tackle, a deliberate knock-down (or whatever).

Gardner doesn't have a good grasp of the laws. Recall TJP managing to convince him he should be able to take the penalty again after failing to take the quick tap correctly. It should have been a scrum to the opposition.

@antipodean still by the far the best ref in the Southern Hemisphere though.

French flanker Kévin Gourdon has been cited for a dangerous tackle during the game v the All Blacks. He has to appear before World Rugby's Judicial Commission on Tuesday.
France flanker Gourdon cleared of foul play
LONDON (AP) — France flanker Kevin Gourdon was cleared by World Rugby on Tuesday after being cited for a dangerous shoulder charge in the 38-18 loss to the All Blacks.
A three-person disciplinary committee decided there was no foul play by Gourdon on Saturday in Paris, and dismissed the complaint by the World Rugby citing commissioner.
Gourdon was free to play for France, which meets South Africa on Saturday.

"Cautioned and temporarily suspended" means YC.
"Cautioned and sent off" means RC -

Wasn't questionable. Clearest PT since Cribb tackled Burke.
I agree. Said so at the time.
Should have written "possible questionable" as the rest is in the law book. -

About the only tackle he ever made.

Maybe SBW is mistaken and Gardiner said he's sorry about the card, but that thems the rules.
Thats what i thought , he probably said something along the lines of sorry to have to do that to you mate , but didnt mention it was the wrong decision ,
SBW jumps to the wrong conclusion ,
later , Gardiner is probably reading it in the media , and thinking you fucking dickhead , I didnt say that .
