@Kiwiwomble yep. Such a low percentage play too. Still a dumb player at times.

i still don't understand how he wasn't penalised for in the side

I thought he was. He was definitely penalised for it.

@antipodean thats right, he played advantage and they had a couple of cracks at the line over a few phases then went back.

I would actually describe not having one of our meathead players punished for a meathead act in an 80th+(?) minute of a comfortable win - as bad luck.
I just know that karma will catch-up with that, at a much worse time .... Or a less mystical explanation: "meathead no learn".
-
the more i look at that still the angrier i get
fucking why Scott? you're no chance to turn it over. It's just at best giving away a penalty in an attempt to hurt someone, at worst old mate doesn't duck and you've got another red to add to the collection.
look at the technique FFS, he's at full stretch just after contact, so even if he's from teh back he's in no position to drive once he wins contact. There is nothing good there at all.
This is coming up in review.

@Rapido yeah, "lucky" wasn't really the right word
one day i would love for a coach to have the nuts to come out and say...."we didn't like it and so are standing him down for a week"

He actually didn't come in from side, that icture is rubbish, as that's where he ended up. I must be old, butFFS if that a card it's time to pack game in, it was and even in picture clearly shoulder on shoulder contact, and if you can't do that you can't clear out at ruck/maul.
And why would you do it, the same reason as you hit most rucks scrums etc etc etc, even when other team has it, to make tha ball as messy as possible. I not being rude, but thank f*** you fellas never played in teams with me or teams I coached, if you think going passive when opposition got ball!! -

I think most of us increasingly aging posters on here once played in the days of rucking, so I doubt there are many strangers to aggressive play posting.
And in reciprocity, I suspect in the days that you played and coached, there weren't 20-odd cameras at the ground, tough rules around head contact, nor a feral and parochial social media highlighting every last event and non-event. The intent I get, but it was pretty low percentage execution.

I've just watched it, he absolutely came in the side. You old fuck, learn about the gate.
"going passive" jesus christ really? why didn't he just ruck a few dudes too. You know, that used to be totally okay 30 years ago as well
-
i'll go a step further, if he was anywhere near clearing out legally he'd be clearing the irish 7!
-
actually you know the worst bit about it? We are right on our line, Scotty Boy sets himself as the pillar defender, and then abandons it to dive in the side of the ruck. It did not cost us, but that is a bit hole inside Ta'avao now
-
It was mainly a timing issue, the Irish player reaches down to pick up the ball and SB starts going in the win the collision, but his timing was a tad early and he was not behind the hindmost feet. The Irish players seeing SB coming does not pick up the ball, hesitates and is hit by SB. If SB had simply waited another second or so for the Irish player to pick the ball and hit him hard it would have been fine.
The players are trying to win the collisions and SB just got the timing completely wrong and had committed to using his body to stop the opposition player scoring a try. These types of collisions happen multiple times a game when defending the line. We only pick out this one because SB got the timing wrong, and the Irish player used some intelligence to see what was happening.

I'd need to watch the replay again but I thought the ref very clearly called that he saw a shoulder to shoulder contact but played advantage for coming around too early.
Ireland 6 marginal on a dummy from the base (NZ free kick) which is what triggered Barrett to come at him. He made to pick up the ball then left it there. He isn't/wasn't bound to the ruck so if he had lifted the ball Barrett was full entitled to do what he did (except for the very high risk contact) -
