Not really sure what Matt Todd could do there?
Tackle?
Exactly. It ain’t about intent anymore. Or even it being an accident. If you’re in the way, flailing around like a epileptic squid you’re gonna get pinged. Todd got sent off for being a muppet. Can’t even claim cynicism, just rubbishness.
He's directly responsible for both of Ireland's tries. His YC was deserved - you're supposed to tackle.
Please explain to me the rule that Todd broke? He was inside, the vision clearly showed that. He did not make shoulder or arm contact with the irish player's head. It was at best a collision I would have thought? Honest question
I'd go with foul play obstruction. He made no attempt to tackle and simply plopped himself in the way.
Who is he obstructing. Isn't obstruction preventing someone from playing?
Poor decision which he made worse by inventing weirder call.
When you're in a hole stop digging. Should have had the guts to reverse his initial call.

The player who is going to place the ball at the foot of the posts.
Todd prevented that by throwing himself in the way.
Illegal act which prevented a try being scored.
Penalty try, YC.
Pretty easy to work out.

@MiketheSnow The only problem was Nig continually going on about never onside, never mentions obstruction. And Todd came from behind the try line so utter arse was spouted by Nige

So he got the offside bit wrong but the rest correct.
Todd was binned for the latter not the former.

The ball carrier, from playing the ball. I suggest you watch a replay. It's obvious and uncontroversial. Ignore that he got flustered in his explanation, the penalty and card are justified.

We can, but the law agrees with me.

Obstruction: When a player attempting to play is illegally impeded and prevented from doing so.
Could live with that given Pom's forward obsession

No everything he said was wrong, for him it was preventing a try by coming in offside, so he was talking utter crap."Diving from the side" (of what?) "he was offisde" (no he wasn't) "Clearly offisde" (nope) "Came in front and prevented a try" (Sorry not allowed to be infront of a player to stop a try?). I'm not arguing the result, just the fact he did not know what he was talkng about, very similar to his talk with Beaudy's try. Only by luck was the card correct, maybe, not by actually what he described that he 'saw'.

The ball carrier, from playing the ball. I suggest you watch a replay. It's obvious and uncontroversial. Ignore that he got flustered in his explanation, the penalty and card are justified.
I had to go and watch again after reading this. He did not prevent the ball carrier from playing the ball. The ball could have been made available to a team mate at any time and Todd didn’t stop him from trying to do that. He was, for the record, behind the try line when the ball carrier picked up the ball and only moved forward after that. He flopped clownishly at the base of the posts but was onside when he did it. If you called it a tackle or a breakdown then he was on the NZ side of it. If you called it open play then he can be wherever the fuck he likes.
Or are you saying that defenders have an obligation to let a player attempt to place the ball and score a try? Because I missed that law change and so has everybody else who tries to hold up the ball and prevent a score, like in every game ever.
As you’ll have gathered, I’m not accepting it’s obvious and uncontroversial just because you say so.
Of course I could be wrong but you’ll need to cite your source.

A no arms tackle that prevented a try from being scored.
Yellow card.
Simple.
Not getting into the Todd incident, am still working through the replay. But I noticed a distinct change in tackling technique from the AB's in this game. Super low body height, and lots of instances of guys basically throwing themselves at the feet of the attacker. No arms, no real attempt to tackle. Kind of just falling over in front of them.
-
I'm perplexed about the Todd ruling as well. It wasn't a tackle and he came from onside. As for obstruction? That's for non ball carriers. The whole aim is to obstruct the ball carrier (legally).
This is the only section that comes close
The game is played only by players who are on their feet.
..............
A player on the ground without the ball is out of the game and must:
Allow opponents who are not on the ground to play or gain possession of the ball.
Not play the ball.
Not tackle or attempt to tackle an opponent.
Sanction: Penalty.Players on their feet and without the ball must not fall on or over players on the ground who have the ball or who are near it. Sanction: Penalty.
