    That final play sort of summed it up
    DMac somehow breaks the field open. Savea (who was exhausted) wasn't clean, and nor was ALB.

    I may be alone on this but I would have played DMac a lot earlier.

    No, it was clear that the game was crying out for his skill set

    If I was to be super critical of the coaches, there was a window with 10 or 11 minutes to go where I thought DMac on for Barrett and the game might open up for us. In hindsight and with the 2nd Boks YC, it probably would’ve.

    Beaudy was pretty awful, under the high ball, kicking, decisions etc. I would have put DMac back there at half time

      he penalty which Barnes then said sorry, that wasn’t actually a penalty. That 3 points made a difference. The TMO gets involved and changes calls all the time, so why can’t a ref change his call in this instance, when he’s clearly fucked up.

      Yeah this is the only reffing thing that really annoys me

      Yeah agree, that's the winning of the game and it was a mistake (no malice he just fucked up like all humans do on occasion) - why can't Barnes just say "I fucked up, lets have a Bok scrum here as a restart"?

        ok time to flush the dunny, thank the old timers for their splendid service, and move on.
        And congrats again to the Boks for winning a point in a row 3 times. Talk about dedication to the mission.

          Basically up until the red card, I thought Springboks win it easy, they were by far the better team, because they tackled the ABs backwards, won the kicking duel. Ever since the RC, I thought ABs had the upper hand. Very exciting game, though the quality was a bit shit, I guess

          Defence wins RWCs. The Boks take a 5 point advantage into every match simply due to the way they defend. No other team does the blitz D quite like them.

          As sorry as I feel for Cane as I like him immensely as a person, how can you lose your discipline in a final like that. A yellow is bad enough and can cost you the final, a red is unacceptable.

          If that was the case we should have won. They couldn't score a try against us and essentially won the game on a non penalty. 🙂

              Cane fronted up at the press anyway despite being gutted. Good man.

                Frizzell was carded for falling over

                That's the one we were really dudded on, I think.

                "A rugby collision", O'Keefe said - and that's basically what this was. They said as much when they didn't upgrade it. And handed the Boks the early momentum.

                I didn’t know the law / focus area of not allowing people to fall on exposed knees etc - ITV had the Irish ref on call who immediately called it as an issue, Barnes then reffed it exactly as he said he should. He was actually concerned it would be red. The fact we didn’t know about it doesn’t mean it wasn’t reffed correctly

                Which law?

                If he'd done it intentionally, it would have been red. Accidentally falling on someone is an accident.

                20d, and intentionally is not mentioned in that law

                Dangerous play in a ruck or maul.
                A player must not charge into a ruck or maul. Charging includes any contact made without binding onto another player in the ruck or maul.
                A player must not make contact with an opponent above the line of the shoulders.
                A player must not intentionally collapse a ruck or a maul.
                A player may lever the jackler out of the contest at the ruck but must not drop their weight onto them or target the lower limbs.

                  They have hardly used him at all ,

                  In the previous games I assumed the thinking is , we are ahead and we aren’t crying out for what he brings,

                  This game was a different set of circumstances, we were behind and we needed a spark

                          That final play sort of summed it up
                          DMac somehow breaks the field open. Savea (who was exhausted) wasn't clean, and nor was ALB.

                          I may be alone on this but I would have played DMac a lot earlier.

                          No, it was clear that the game was crying out for his skill set

                          If I was to be super critical of the coaches, there was a window with 10 or 11 minutes to go where I thought DMac on for Barrett and the game might open up for us. In hindsight and with the 2nd Boks YC, it probably would’ve.

                          Beaudy was pretty awful, under the high ball, kicking, decisions etc. I would have put DMac back there at half time

                          He just went to pieces didn't he? We were lucky he didn't take us out of the running altogether

                          A Foster first then. He coached the only player to score in two RWC finals 😀

                            spot on, but problem with WR not the hosts.

                                Frizzell was carded for falling over

                                That's the one we were really dudded on, I think.

                                "A rugby collision", O'Keefe said - and that's basically what this was. They said as much when they didn't upgrade it. And handed the Boks the early momentum.

                                I didn’t know the law / focus area of not allowing people to fall on exposed knees etc - ITV had the Irish ref on call who immediately called it as an issue, Barnes then reffed it exactly as he said he should. He was actually concerned it would be red. The fact we didn’t know about it doesn’t mean it wasn’t reffed correctly

                                Which law?

                                If he'd done it intentionally, it would have been red. Accidentally falling on someone is an accident.

                                20d, and intentionally is not mentioned in that law

                                Dangerous play in a ruck or maul.

                                A player may lever the jackler out of the contest at the ruck but must not drop their weight onto them or target the lower limbs.

                                "Target" is the operative word.

                                very good point SF wasn't even looking at the legs.

                                Yeah - look it it in real time. It's purely accidental in my view and a poor call.

                                    Which is why it stayed as a YC

                                    Penalised for the neck roll
                                    YC for dropping his weight on the jackaler
                                    YC because it wasn’t deliberate and ‘targeted’

                                      I kind of wish that I wasn't reminded of Barnes admitting the penalty wasn't a penalty as I was a fairly contented (as contented as you can be) but now I'm starting to get angry about it. 🤣

                                      All he had to do was keep his mouth shut!

                                        Did any of the players who were the "victim" of those head clashes go off for a HIA?

                                          I don't believe so. No doubt the would have been tactical subs though, not HIA.
