The Silver Fern

Didn't Owen Franks get away with an eye gouge? Against the Wallabies??

1st one WJ had his man but Rieko panicked and came off his line. Was really poor defence - especially from an ex winger. He holds his line and makes the tackle there is no try.

2nd one - you're right that Wales are likely to score as Parker and Holland are too late to shift.

Rieko was poor. Was it two bad defensive reads leading to two tries

Game is officiated in the past now.

@booboo some idiot has decided to put it on the same time as the AFL grand final.

NRL would never do such a thing. Rugby are amateurs in a professional world

Didn't the NRL do this to the Warriors?

@booboo 69 mins and 50 something

Can't see Jordan calling for it. And he has two Boks on him even if he does catch it.

How the fuck is that not a YC?

Because it was bullshit?

At least the TMO invented a high tackle to save face.

Comedy.

Shoulder to the head

YC and off field review

Mitigation as attacker was falling in the tackle

Stays YC

Been ruled that way for years

Not tonight

Comedy gold

Could've been multiple penalties there. SA were lying all over our side of the ruck

Where was the blindside

Love spilled a decent amount of high ball this year for the Canes

What was the crowd at the final in 2002?

That really did seem like capacity

The effort by the world's best team was appreciated by a record women's rugby test attendance of 42,723, eclipsing by 144 tickets the previous high set at the 2022 World Cup final, where England suffered its only loss in the last six years. The tournament-opening result on Friday was expected

Looked like he had it before he came on.

ALB managed to fit all Proctors fuck ups into ten minutes. Least Proctor managed to spread it over 50 minutes.

@canefan said in Springboks v Italy II:

It was pretty arrogant to make it so obvious. As you say they could have just kicked it out on the full

What's the law if it goes out on the full?

The ball must reach the 10-metre line.
Sanction:The non-kicking team has the option of the kick being retaken or a scrum.

But 12.5 applies as it's the first offence?

When the ball is kicked:

a. Team-mates of the kicker must be behind the ball.
Sanction:Scrum.

This is comical now

@Dodge said in All Blacks v France I:

France could have had a couple of penalties through those phases, as they could have done quite often when they’ve actually had the ball tonight. AB tacklers off feet on the French side not getting out the way of the 9. Hasn’t been picked up tonight, will be by a NH ref

I'd be stoked if this was actually called tonight. French often had a man on our side slowing down our ball.

Proctor was pretty good for the French

Penalty advantage - why don't we keep it in hand and build pressure.
