The "may be as you describe" comment was because we can't actually see in that shot that is the moment before lifting the elbow. We can, however, see that DHP is already in contact.
Contact isn't actually problem - you said as much in your analysis with various arms and whatnot. Shoulder-to-shoulder is fine.
Its the point where DHP actually pushes Savea off his line that is the issue, which basically happens in the next half-step.
I'm just making the point that Speight was never going to be caught in a tackle - but maybe an ankle tap - from that point. Which highlights how pointless (and damaging) DHP's actions were.
No. Owen's call was that DHP deliberately changed his line to impede Savea. He didn't mention the elbow. The elbow thing just made it all the more obvious and brought it to attention.
The call was for deliberate obstruction. -

this argument is getting dumber by the hour
We've seen blown up stills, however we're yet to see frame by frame images with bright neon arrows accompanied by monotone voice over commentary. So still has some ways to go.
-
@ACT-Crusader good point. I can't wait for that.

Are you guys done? Can we talk about how Owens cheated us out of that last try? Forward pass my ass, that was a try.

@NTA shoulda been Red and a 12 month ban.

Plus the missed headbutt from that hoopah scumbag.
What all this has done is distract everyone from the fact that the Wallabies got done by 27. 20 fucking 7. That is them playing well and the ABs having a fairly off night.
If the second game was a moral victory for Aus because it was only a 20 point loss and they "fronted" what does that make this game? Not to mention getting done 3-0 twice this year. Clown can get fucked. Worst coach ever.

I've just realised the Wallabies made 75 tackles! That's at least... like... 15 AB tries!
You blokes have been had.

@NTA I saw it shown on the big screen once (didnt get replayed) and the Scottish bloke (not MN5, and luckily with better rugby knowledge) sitting next to me said he was a grub, moments later you saw Owens walk over and speak to him, then nothing, so I doubt the citing commissioner missed it, so he obviously decided it was nothing.
I have watched parts of the game since, and not seen anything.
Maybe this was part of Cheikas deflection plan?

Still yet to see footage of this. Anyone got something?
I think Phipps either pushed Hooper over headfirst or ripped his head off and threw it. Yet again, Philthy Phipps gets away unpunished.

The headbutt was at 62:50 on the game clock just after the penalty for the ABs gets blown. Cheap and after the whistle. Im surprised there isn't an international outcry like there was after the Owen Franks face rub.
On second viewing the Wallabies 6 coming straight in the side in the final ruck before the Wallabies try is about as obvious as they get. WE WERE ROBBED! Should have been 50-0.

I've checked out the "head butt" here:
Puku is right 62:50 on the game clock.
It's not really a head butt. More Hoopah waving his hair in the opposition's face.
However if an AB had done it I expect there would be demands for the death penalty.
-
I recall watching the replays, thinking that if Owens acted consistently it would be a penalty try and hoping he didn't. I presume he must have thought about it and concluded that whilst consistent such an approach would have grievously unbalanced things in favour of ABs.
My view for what it's worth is that the rules OUGHT to be such that Speight would be awarded try and Coles not. As is there is sufficient discretion that four outcomes were possible and we got one of the two middle case ones of the undesirable three. -

They should therefore be applied.
If that means the ABs are up 14 points - which they should have been applyibg the laws - so be it. Fuck what the AB haters in the world think.

It never happened, unless I see the frame by frame analysis
