    Did the sanctimonious piston wristed gibbon have a go at Frizell again like he does in every video featuring the ABs?

    A bit like publicly stating “we have a no dickheads rule” and then picking a convicted domestic abuser.

      My RWC jersey just came in. A big FUCK YOU to Canada once again for taxing us up the arse when it comes to importing goods you can't buy here. Fucking joke. Anyways, normally I wouldn't buy a RWC jersey so soon after a loss, and as gutted as I am, I mean, this one really hurts, I am more accepting of it in the way the TMO had an influence and also, I gave us no shot of getting passed the QF. I bought the performance jersey. Still not a fan of the collar but fuck, it's a nice jersey. The ferns are very subtle and the material feels really nice on. Stitching looks strong but a bit abrasive but finally getting a god look at it, very very nice. Thank god I ordered a size up. There's no way I would fit my standard labeled size.

        Looking at the Frizzel "incident" again, Steven Kitsoff smashes him in the side of the head with his arm. Of course, the TMO completely missed this and YCed Frizzel for falling over. What a farken joke.

        I felt that it could have easily been ruled a rugby contact incident. No penalties, play on

        It should have been. I've not seen an penalty and a YC for something so innocuous before. Ever. I wonder if Ardie went down and squealed like a little bitch and cries foul at every ruck African Jesus may have been shown red and 6 weeks.

          I don't know what Foley's qualifications are, but I don't believe he's a test ref. Crazy to be in that position of power

            Worth noting that it was not Foley that upgraded Sam's yellow to a red. Yes, he is an annoying pedantic piston wristed gibbon that helped ruin a game of rugby, but he isn't to blame for the inconsistency between the two captains' cards. We don't actually know who did that.

                I have seen suggestions that the bunker officials might be other TMOs. You know, the same TMOs not considered good enough to be involved in the playoff games.

                  I want to blame them all. But the reality is the rules around tackles and the rules around how the TMO is employed are all wrong. We go around in circles, but it needs to be simpler. Less mitigation means less risk of inconsistency. If you hit someone above a certain height, and they aren't falling into the tackle, you are in trouble, no other mitigation

                    I'd be interested to know how an amateur who doesn't even follow the game, if given a perimeters to work with, how they would apply the laws. Whether SC would have been upgraded, or African Jesus would have been upgraded, or whether SF would have even seen a penalty, or maybe Kitsoff would be sent off.

                      It's not so much the SC red people are complaining about, fuck, I wouldn't have even asked for a penalty, but the missed forearms, clear penalty that should have been reversed, a head smash with "mitigation" etc. It was the persistent intervention by the TMO looking for shit and missing heaps.

                        and that's it right there.

                        If you pick everything up, people will grumble, generally understand and adapt. If you pick up some stuff, and rule it randomly, you leave people frustrated and disappointed.

                        We joke about the card lottery, but it's real. It's on display consistently. If something gets seen, you're in for it, but if it gets missed, no effect on the game move on. Super annoying as a fan.

                              You don't mean Shannon do you? Not convicted (charges dropped), and not domestic abuse as far as I know.

                              Erm. Don’t you mean pled guilty and attended police diversion? Though you’re correct, not domestic abuse, he punched a non-related woman. My bad.

                              Well this is an honest question but does he have a conviction? I'm obviously no lawyer, but also I don't know distinctions between the UK and NZ on this:

                                Agreed it is confusing. We don’t have anything the same as police diversion for criminal offences in the UK - that I know of. From what I understand of the NZ system, which is mostly based on in depth research carried out on The Fern, Police Diversion may be a laudable attempt to offer a second chance to some people but is often used as a cop out (pun intended) to protect well known people. At the time of the Frizzell case there was much gnashing of teeth on here with many people feeling he’d got off very lightly, purely because he was an All Black, or likely to be.

                                  Looking at the Frizzel "incident" again, Steven Kitsoff smashes him in the side of the head with his arm. Of course, the TMO completely missed this and YCed Frizzel for falling over. What a farken joke.

                                  I felt that it could have easily been ruled a rugby contact incident. No penalties, play on

                                  It should have been. I've not seen an penalty and a YC for something so innocuous before. Ever. I wonder if Ardie went down and squealed like a little bitch and cries foul at every ruck African Jesus may have been shown red and 6 weeks.

                                  I don't know what Foley's qualifications are, but I don't believe he's a test ref. Crazy to be in that position of power

                                  I'd be interested to know how an amateur who doesn't even follow the game, if given a perimeters to work with, how they would apply the laws. Whether SC would have been upgraded, or African Jesus would have been upgraded, or whether SF would have even seen a penalty, or maybe Kitsoff would be sent off.

                                  I hate to say it but we reap what we sow. In the NH, for the last 18 months, both would have been red, I think up until the Curry decision in the WC both would have been red. The wailing and gnashing of teeth about some of the early reds was the reason mitigation became more generous during the tournament. On that basis, the yellow / upgrade to red decisions were consistent with what we’d seen in the previous weeks.

                                  It is not the refs fault. IMO it’s barely even WR’s fault. It’s a reflection of rugby laws being subjective, and the fact we want and need them to be so.

                                    and that's it right there.

                                    If you pick everything up, people will grumble, generally understand and adapt. If you pick up some stuff, and rule it randomly, you leave people frustrated and disappointed.

                                    Watching GP games, sometimes you hear the ongoing conversation between the ref and the TMO - please can you check that hit, mate we’ve got a knock on in the previous phase etc. in my view, it works well, and you get the sense of the officials as a team trying to get to the right decision.

                                    The disallowed try in the final is a good example of how we confuse two things, one is the process by which refs make decisions, and one is the fact that human error still exists. The process was correct, the decision was wrong because the knock on was more than two phases before the try. That is an individual error, by the TMO and Barnes for not checking the phase count with him.

                                    We have to allow individual errors to take place, as annoying as they are, because humans are involved, without questioning the whole process.

I’d rather we got the right decisions than leave refs subject to abuse because they make inevitable mistakes. The TMO is there to reduce the number of mistakes / howlers, exactly as it is in cricket. The lack of understanding or acceptance of that concept is the route of most of the issues IMO

                                      I'm in disagreement here.

                                      Decision was correct, process was wrong.

                                      As much as I jumped up and whooped when Nuggie went over I expected it to go back as it was an obvious knock on.

                                      I have other issues with the officiating which I'm not in the mood to whinge about right now.

                                      But the ruling out of that try is not an issue I'm indignant about. Despite the process being wrong.

                                        If you pick everything up, people will grumble, generally understand and adapt. If you pick up some stuff, and rule it randomly, you leave people frustrated and disappointed.

                                        We joke about the card lottery, but it's real. It's on display consistently. If something gets seen, you're in for it, but if it gets missed, no effect on the game move on. Super annoying as a fan.

                                        Watching GP games, sometimes you hear the ongoing conversation between the ref and the TMO - please can you check that hit, mate we’ve got a knock on in the previous phase etc. in my view, it works well, and you get the sense of the officials as a team trying to get to the right decision.

                                        The disallowed try in the final is a good example of how we confuse two things, one is the process by which refs make decisions, and one is the fact that human error still exists. The process was correct, the decision was wrong because the knock on was more than two phases before the try. That is an individual error, by the TMO and Barnes for not checking the phase count with him.

                                        We have to allow individual errors to take place, as annoying as they are, because humans are involved, without questioning the whole process.

                                        The Shag argument is one we should consider, and discuss as a rugby community, but personally not one I subscribe too. I’d rather we got the right decisions than leave refs subject to abuse because they make inevitable mistakes. The TMO is there to reduce the number of mistakes / howlers, exactly as it is in cricket. The lack of understanding or acceptance of that concept is the route of most of the issues IMO

                                        Ultimately it was Barnes who made the mistake by not calling the knock on

                                        Everyone knew it was but he said play on

                                        If the technology is there, why limit it to 2 phases?

                                        I'd much rather have a situation where it was a clear and obvious knock on which was ruled on beyond the 2 phases, than a situation where a human being (Barnes) makes an incorrect call in real time but which can't be reversed because it was more than 2 phases on

                                        If that try had stood, then that would have been a blight on the game IMHO

                                          @MiketheSnow Barnsie made the call on what he saw. I have no issue with the on field ref calling that and we get on with it.

                                          If the TMO is calling it back he calls it in play, not after 3-4 minutes of thrilling play which mean absolutely nothing because we're waiting for someone to score.

                                          Let's say Nuggie knocks on as he attempts to pick up that last pass. 5m scrum Boks. NZ Scrum monsters boks and we score. It's as if Ardie's knock on never happened, and that 3-4 minutes, of seemingly brilliant entertaining play counts again...

                                          I think I'm looking for the GOM and State of the Game threads.
