Springboks vs All Blacks I

@Jet He called it a sledge so I presume the ref was struggling with TJ's accent and thought that he was calling one of the Springboks a twat.

Brace to TJ
‘I’m going to give you a clear message - insult me like that and you leave the field”

I find it extremely hard to believe Perenara insulted him. I guess we should've known from that point.

He either did which wasn’t picked up on Mix or Brace misheard him.
I find it hard to believe as well

Dollars to donuts it was a mishearing and he couldn't back down once he'd set his stall.

Watching now because I got home a bit munted after the John I Dent final.
Ethan "both sides of the ball" Blackadder couldn't pass to an umarked winger five metres out.
DMac decides to hand back possession from inside our 22 with a useless chip kick to nobody.
Blind ref penalises Ardie one metre from our line for "no clear release" when there's a clear as fuck release which should've been a penalty for holding on.
Blind Irish TMO can't see Mbonambe clearly lose possession over the line.
Cross kick to Clarke and a turnover penalty because South Africans are allowed to place their hands on the ground first.
Cane puts a hard shoulder on South African Black Jesus who coughs up the ball in contact.
Beautiful run by Rieko down the blindside from a scrum, draw and pass to put Jordan into space. Ethan too slow to get there to clean out.
Outstanding attack from turnover ball. DMac and then Lomax dummy to beat rushing defenders and put Clarke in.
Blind clown awards South Africa a scrum penalty despite the tighthead clearly on his knees.
Turnover because "both sides of the ball" can't get there in time to clean out the defender. Has there been a slower loose forward?
And that's the first half. Score should be 3 - 12
Agree with a lot of what you say - but your Blackadder hatred does run deep.....
Ethan was one of my top 3 players today (as have a # of other Ferners going by the MOTM thread)..... cos as you say -- the work on both sides of the ball...

In answer to your slower loose fwds - not trolling... but Frizzel and Ioane were not speed merchants either.... and sure as shit didn't put the consistent work in that Blackadder is showing so far...
Akira has tremendous [EDIT] raw speed. Probably blunted by bulking up.
@pakman I think if he gets in the wider channels you will find he still has some of that pace. I’m guessing he has been forced into doing the tight stuff as that work rate has been his Achilles heel.

Nick Bishop felt Boks having three locks on at end (Nortje, PSDT and Eben) was very important for late maul tries: https://www.rugbypass.com/plus/rassie-erasmus-the-ultimate-high-stakes-gambler-goes-all-in-and-wins-big-again/

@pakman thinking back we had Jerome K and Kieran Read in our loose forwards mix who were able to mix it with big boys. Now it’s Ardie and Ethan Blackadder. I got no doubts Ardie is an explosive power athlete, it just feels like we lack balance and power in that loose forward mix. I guess this is a broken record.

@pakman this is 3 years ago, I would think he’s still capable of this when given some room. -

@pakman possibly. But the ABs were getting pumped all day at the maul. They gave up penalties on the first three mauls and, from memory, 5/8 total bok mauls.
Your bench forwards largely got manhandled all over the rest of the park too.
Bj Dickson who started at blindside also happens to be a lock/blindside like Pstd so I wouldn’t read too much into that theory

@BerniesCorner said in Springboks vs All Blacks I:
@Billy-Webb No disrespect but you've downplayed the Mbonambi lost ball. It's unacceptable and the officials should acknowledge they erred.
I would agree with that.
Very strange the TMO did not at least ask Brace to review his decision.@Billy-Webb there was high tackles on Fat Frans and Kolisi. Kolisi indicate the obstruction in the All Blacks first non try. But hey, it's done and dusted.

From this clip all TJ appears to say to the ref is "whats that"....
No different really from jackalers shouting "Sir Sir Sir" "no release" calling for a penalty.
Dont mind him pinging it, but expect to see it every time.
That was a minimum 3 points for us that ended up a pen the other way.

That strikes me as a ref looking for a reason to penalise to impose his authoritay

I don't think that's what he said. I listened a couple of times with headphones. I have
TJ: 'what's that'Ref (after the whistle)
I'm going to give you a very clear message. Shout at me again and you're going to leave the field.I thought it was 'insult' - if so, ref arguably justified. But really? Reverse possession with a penalty for shouting -- and very justified. Clear penalty to the Blackness for a player rolling over the ball on teh wrong side, and int eh modern game it's approaching yellow card given the field position.
Very poor refereeing.
-
@nzzp yeah that is absolutely appalling refereeing, he clearly isn't up to it if he can't control his emotions in that situation. That plus the knock on try should see him stood down for a period of time, that's just nowhere near good enough.
