That 9 pushed the ref twice toward the zone Dmac was running, he also pushed him toward a ruck earlier as Well.

That's really unfair. That try should be disallowed. The ref has just given the NH media reason to moan again. Damn it.

Hardly. Lacey is Irish. The French media will dine on it though.

[Toddy]

It's s bullshit try but good vision from Smith and Dmac

[akan004]

Barrett has been really punishing with his defence. Perhaps we have found our long term no 6?

Learn the laws FFS Marshall.

He's just bloody infuriating.

@damo said in All Blacks v France Test 3:

There is no provision to bring a try back because a ref impedes a defender. Does not exist in the law book.

It should exist.

[ShadowTrooper]

A Smith really needs to stop flapping his arms

[Derm McCrum]

5 tries in 35 minutes. Good scoring rate.

I was just trying to find that. Thanks.

Sound policy reasons for it too. If a ref being in the way could call play back then refs would find themselves getting pushed and pulled and defenders would spend their time trying to mile obstruction rather than defending.

I wouldn't blame the French media one bit. There's been some bloody awful reffing this series.

[Machpants]

Awful defence

[Tim]

Awful defence.

[Donsteppa]

9 missed tackles to the AB's, 4 to France so far.

Justin Marshall is just so annoying.

Moody and Sam Whitelock missed that.

[Stargazer]

Todd is having a blinder. Tackle after tackle; now a turnover.

[ShadowTrooper]

Taylor and Todd was it? Loving your work

Moody is fucking hopeless at the moment.

Hemopo looked bloody handy and I reckon Frizzell is going good in his first test. Put in some nice stops.
