I know we give out about Reece’s speed but that French 11 is seriously quick.
Or Juan Martin Gonzalez is quicker than Reece too.

Looked like a penalty try to me. That was a slap in a forward direction. Even if ball maybe went sideways. Think this score line puts NZs effort into perspective. The French fullback is having a very good game. Dupont too he’s making all the right decisions.
The ball went backwards a metre.

The referee explained why he made that decision. And it was pretty obvious on repay

Argies playing well when they manage to keep 15 on the field.

He’s a Ferrari.

That's an amazing try from that quick winger.

Except for that donkey scrumhalf. Charged down twice in succession kicking from the base of rucks.

Massive forward pass right in front of the AR. Completely ignored.

Yep his reasons are clearly not in the laws of rugby. The law does not mention hand direction. You must intentionally knock the ball forward to be penalised and he did not knock the ball forward. It must be intentional and it must be knocked forward. Two components need to be satisfied which weren't.

You don't have to knock on to be penalised for deliberately knocking the ball out of play.

He didn't delibrately knock the ball out of play. He knocked the ball backwards and then it bounced to the side.

It was an awful unbalanced display from him and the touch judges.
