    @taniwharugby said in ABs v Scotland:

    @hydro11 looked more like he was swatting a fly, so that mitigates him hitting the ball.

    As I said elsewhere, Crockett being pinged for playing the 9 without the ball was wrong, regardless of what the 9 is allowed to do, his hands were on the ball so therefore not played without the ball.

    This is an area they need to clear up, touching it and taking your hands away seems to be quite a popular thing in the NH at moment.

    Technically he doesn't have the ball unless it leaves the turf. Annoys me a lot as many 9s are taking the piss with their new found freedom. Crockett had to go, that was blatant

    @talisker I take on board your reply to Mick's post and respect same. Though I would argue that the term Jock is, the same as Paddy, Taffy not used as an insult, certainly less so than say Frog or Yank. Neither is the rhyming slang variants such as Sweaty or Septic. However I can appreciate that the perception could easily be different dependant upon whether you are on the receiving end or not. However the example that I would cite comes from probably the biggest melting pot in UK society, the armed forces. Here, where you get guys from all over the British Isles being flung in together, casual nicknames based on where you are from or what your surname is are virtually de rigeur and not an insult.

    But as you find the term offensive, I will not call you by that term and I will endeavour not to use it in threads you are commenting on. Not trying to be a prick here, just showing respect.

    @kiwipie Yeah that was MvJ's sentiment, I was incensed but even though his hands were on it he didn't pick it up. And I quote

    "Yes, bit of a tough one because the halfback perhaps could have played the ball the first time but fumbled on someone's boot as he went to pick it up. But it is not like he dummied or anything. Crockett is a penalty magnet.

    Any competent referee would penalise that.

    The halfback gets the benefit of the doubt there, remembering the referee doesn't have slow motion replays. With those things (ditto clear releases etc) then the approach is "if I'd have to watch in slow motion to see if what you did might actually be OK, then it's not OK."

    I reckon Crockett would have been fine if the other Scotsman's boot wasn't there.

    edit emebed wont star at 38:39 for some reason...

    @majorrage Agree about Read. Compare him on Saturday with the first Lions test, and it's clear he's beat up with little left in tank. Trouble is he's captain and the alternatives are a notch below (when Read's fit).

    Scotland in. WTF Why didn't Rieko tackle?

    Rieko was a passenger in the last 10 mins as he seemed to be favouring his right arm.

    I've had that injury. Couldn't even brush my hair. No wonder he wasn't tackling.

    Have people seen the Read incident? Seriously what an idiot. He should have gone to the bin as well. You need a lot better from a captain in those circumstances.

    Ref was an idiot: the Scotties scored then. A microsecond of further advantage ...

    Also Barrett was not off side at that scrum.

    I don't want to be a dick about this either, and this will be my last on the subject, the term itself is irritating rather than offensive, I'm speaking for myself, there are others who feel more strongly than I do.

    What is offensive is to be told to suck it up.

    @pakman I don't see why he should be beat up. He had half the year off with his late start to Super Rugby and the subsequent thumb injury so there is really no reason for him to be burnt out. He's had a relatively easy workload this year.

    Can't help you on the why, but I can tell you my 87 year old dad gets down the stairs faster than he did yesterday.

    Ref thought the Scot knocked it on. Wrongly, but explains it. Thought the ref was very good overall. Can't see it all!

    @kiwipie yeah I know that, but the words used by the ref for the offence are wrong...should be just playing the 9, rather than without the ball.

    I mean the French 9 got away with a dummy pass against the ABs and the Comms guy was lauding it like it was genius.

    Is definitely an area where the NH and SH see it or is ref fed differently.

    Some random thoughts, was at Murrayfield for the first time.

    We were in corporate hosting, Doddie Weir was our MC, he was absolutely hilarious. Very moving when he went onto the field before kickoff. Justin Marshall also present, dull by comparison.

    Battling win, probably deserved, with about 7 minutes to go the ABs were up by 12. I think Hansen emptied the bench too early. He was basically saying with 10 minutes to go it was all over.

    Thought the ref was very good, he seemed to rule absolutely everything, probably better than the other way and allowing a free for all. Did think he got the Naholo situation wrong, yellow card all day for me, massive benefit of doubt there.

    Taylor was very good and a credible replacement for Coles as starter which is a good thing. Should have dummied Russell when try butchered!

    Romano from the replay poor, needs to get lower on the carry, but was on his own once at least surrounded by four Scots, need your teammates there to help you out sometimes.

    Read must be running on empty, thought he had a very, very quiet game, apart from lineout.

    Fifita got through a lot of work, mostly good.

    Big fan of Liam Squire, massive potential. Should have passed when he made the big break but I guess he thought Sopoaga would get tackled. He did pick the ball off that scrum in preference to Kieran Reid.

    Echo what others have said about Edinburgh, great city to go for a test match.

    Pakman seems you went to the Hilton buffet so you could rub shoulders with Kane Hames and Crockett, love your work. 😀

    On the Naholo tackle in the air.

    I've already said I think it was refereed perfectly. ('Mist of war' cause by the obstruction plus the fact he was t tipped over).

    Those who think he was lucky, do you think every tackle in air is a cardable offence? Even if just slightly mis-timed and the tacklee is almost landing and lands safely on his feet?

    Should Faumuina have been carded for his tackle on Sinkler in Lions Test 3?

    Hogg was making an incredible horizontal distance with his leap. Which made his bump look fairly spectacular.

    I know we've had the lawmakers turn the World upside down the last few years. Probably need to separate those who think lucky not carded because the laws get interpreted badly recently, from this who think he's lucky as they genuinely think all tackles in the air should be an automatic card.

    Yes, every tackle in the air is a cardable offence AFAIK. If not it should be, to remove any doubt, of which there seems to be plenty in officiating the game currently.

    Not sure what the letter of the law is, but my understanding is the guy who catches the ball in the air has all the rights, not the first time Naholo has done similar, he and all others need to err on the side of caution when going for a high ball.

    @infidel
    the letter of the law.

    10 Foul Play.
    10.4 Dangerous play and misconduct
    (i) Tackling the jumper in the air. A player must not tackle nor tap, push or pull the foot or feet of an opponent jumping for the ball in a lineout or in open play.
    Sanction: Penalty kick

    10.5 Sanctions
    (a) Any player who infringes any part of the Foul Play Law must be admonished, or cautioned and temporarily suspended for a period of ten minutes’ playing time, or sent-off.

    So in summary.
    Penalty, with the option to either admonish him or yellow card him.

    Yeah, I hope that doesn't become a thing to milk a penalty. I would have struggled to get out of his way.

    Just to add, I think if Naholo hadn't been aided by the apparent obstruction by the Scottish defender, he would have hit Hogg much earlier in mid air, so more reason for the yellow card.

    The fact that Naholo had to avoid the Scottish defender, and still managed to get by said defender and tackle Hogg before he landed, in mid-air, doesn't help Naholo in his defence, your honour.

    Reading the laws above Rapido, I am not sure how they decide between a penalty or a yellow card or worse?

    @infidel Quite the opposite; if he could see Hogg he could have taken action to avoid it.

    As it was, Hogg was barely above the ground and got laid out like a great tackle.

    If he landed on his upper back/ neck I'd be singing a different tune.

    I know I'm being anal. But it wasn't mid air. it was 4/5ths air.
    Hogg was about 4 m through a 5m horizontal leap.

    Naholo was running, and trying to weave around an obstructing defender and ends up in his path as he is landing. No one got hurt, it wasn't dangerous, he was barely off the ground when he got hit (but he was travelling at quite some speed).

    No one got tipped so doesn't reach the yellow card threshold, I would have thought.
