@antipodean Nope, that was definitely SBW. The Welsh guy did everything - including slapping his lower back/butt - to attract the ref's attention to him entering the ruck from the side.
Edited: Still think it was really marginal. The Welsh player basically moved SBW more to side and then starting milking the penalty.
Hames gave away the second penalty though.
Correct. I called it wrongly as Laulala at the time but on second viewing it was SBW. My main point was the irony of AWJ being in between the AB’s hindmost foot and the tryline, on his knees, when he was slapping Sonny’s butt. Blame SBW if you want but it must be hard not to join a ruck from the side when there’s a 2m lump parked in the way

Watching I thought it was SBW but Barnes said "12 OK 3 was sealing ball off with his legs Penalty Wales"
The 2 Sams and Rieko.
Not going to discount Whitelock because of the card. It looked OK to me at the time although Barnes did explain penalty well but I figured Cane could easily have been carded as well and no way could you possibly discount him as one of the top 3 so following that (twisted) logic....
Ioane scored two, created the bust that led to Naholo's first, was looking for work. What more could he do?

@dk when you go back and tally up all the results
If you rely on me to do the tally up, then I'm naming myself in every position

@dk I'm expecting to see @ACT-Crusader named at no8
