ABs v Scotland

@antipodean said in ABs v Scotland:
When does Crockett finally retire? I'm sick of that muppet. Cane's YC was because Crockett shoved him over the ruck.
His own yellow was stupid, but Crockett had nothing to do with Cane's YC. I just watched it again and if you want to blame anyone else but Cane for his YC, then it's Liam Squire.

@taniwharugby @Nepia He could have not aimlessly run into the Scotsman in the air. I do agree with you guys though, but that's not how it's been ruled for some time. Hence I think he was very lucky to stay on.

@no-quarter after the obstruction from the Scot?
Although Naholo has hit players in the air before, so it isnt like he is overly cautious when approaching the 'danger zone'

And as I said, look at the French XV game, the French winger fully tackled an AB in the air and didn't get carded - maybe their is a new normal being established?
I don't think he ran aimlessely at all (and I've put the boot into Naholo many teams for his terrible kick chase). Common sense ruled as the impeding Scot player was a clear factor.

Absolutely, when he realised he wasn't going to be able to make a play at the ball he should have stopped running forward. Yup mitigating circumstances but you can't just absolve Naholo of all responsibilty there.

@Nepia if WR are going to suddenly change the way this is being ruled it'd be great if they could actually inform the viewing public! Otherwise controversy ensues...

I don't think they even told people initially when they first started being anal about it.

The collision with Hogg in the air was never a card, never in a month of Sundays.
However, there were a few repeated penalties as we put pressure on and I don't think seven or eight cards would have been unwarranted - Cane himself should have had at least four ABs binned for the stuff he was getting up to

@nepia said in ABs v Scotland:
@no-quarter That wasn't a yellow on Naholo, the French XV match established a new precedent. Plus, they go there in the end with the right decision I think, there were clear mitigating circumstances.
Surprised they didn't penalise the Jock running obstruction aftr precedent mid-week

Can't whinge about the ref. Thought he was ok overall....now Australia on the other hand...
Cane's YC was pretty cynical.
Just wish we would stop doing the dumb stuff. Naholo has a history of tackling players in mid-air. He should be taken aside and given a coaching clinic. Why does he persist in doing this shit? Shag have a word FFS. -
Genuine question: is that an issue?
Is standard term for Scotsman here (like Boer, Frog, Paddy, Pom).

Shag have a word FFS.On the replay it actually looked like Cane got pushed over by another AB and then sealing off the ball. Crockett's was stupid, really stupid, the 9 hadn't even really done that stupid NH roll the ball thing they do that refs let them get away with.

I prefer it to "Sweaty" that some of the Poms use.
I laughed at Jegga's term Porridge Wog

@booboo
It would take a lot longer to answer properly than half past two on a Sunday morning allows.
The short answer is that using "Jock" isn't coolRighto. I'll look for a suitable alternative
