    The ball has gone backwards a long way relative to him, unless he turned on the gas after throwing it

    He couldn't he was too busy being late hit by Hugh Renton who picked up some dirty habits with Ta$man. πŸ˜‰

    2 games in NZ this weekend. Both threads finish with approximately a hundred posts about the refereeing. And nothing else. Nah, rugby doesn't have a problem.

    2 games with decisions against the Chiefs and the Blues and approx. 100 + posts on the fern. And you're surprised? Does rugby have a problem or does the fern have a problem? Or do certain teams' fans have a serious problem?😁

    Clear and obvious backwards pass. Clear mistake from officials. Why is there any discussion? Move on.

    Because there's some people disagreeing that is was clear and obvious and a mistake from officials. You're directing your scorn at the wrong posters. πŸ˜‰

    You obviously don't know nothing! There is a very clear line that Blues and Chiefs fans just do not cross when it comes to hysterics. Unlike other sets of fans...

    @kirwan The funniest thing about that is following the TMO's thinking the pass from Plummer to Akira should have been ruled forward as well.

    All sets of fans have their moments.

    Would like to point out the Blues fans (and a healthy group of "others") are complaining about a decision in a thrashing won by the Blues.

    It's not just sour grapes, it's fair point of discussion. Would hate for any of these games to be decided on a howler like that.

    I can see how they came up with the Sotutu ruling, I just disagree with it (ie., they got it wrong) and assert it was 100% unnecessary to even look at it.

    Yeah, I didn't have a problem with this decision based on the evidence from the TV replay. Sotutu ended up being in a position where he couldn't catch the ball so became a blocker to Frizell. The collision was likely clumsy and unintentional but did have a material effect on what happened. Robinson actually came off worse in that incident.

    The forward pass was a shocker though.

    @bovidae i think im the same, under the rules i can understand what it was given

    as ive said before, i just dont like straight up accidents having such an effect, but the rules are the rules etc

    The try looks better every time I see it. Running it from your own line after a great turnover, Akira makes a great run and shows pretty spectacular vision and passing skills, and Reiko sprinting to get into position and then burning off the defenders.

    O for Awesome.

    Plus Akira showed great acceleration for a big man..

    @kirwan i was with you until the last line, thats just not true, as @Crucial said, you can throw it over your head and it wont go forward...and there is every angle between that and lateral/90 degrees, its not a case of a single degree off directly behind you and if will fly forward

    @winger is right though, it would be a big change, maybe too big, too much to ask for player to run so much deeper

    I think he said it can. ??

    Player running forward at 5m/s, throws it back over his head at 3m/s, ball travels forwards at 2m/s.

    I think you said you were a surveyor? You dig vectors then.

    i said he said it can didn;t i?

    i am and i do, i was always taught the rue the ball will always beat the man, as in you pass faster than you can run so if im running at at 5m/s i would expect to be able to throw it faster than that

    I think we all just agreed to move on without actually saying

    You may indeed rue that-I am not sure I can pass faster than Rieko can run..

    Yep, was pulling away from Josh Ioane. Impressive.

    Hasn't Josh Ioane gone backwards form wise!

    Very disappointing, he was clear third flyhalf last year. I think Black has leapfrogged him now, been very happy with what I've seen from him.

    Given the obvious increase in social media "engagement " by fans after these ( pretty regular) refereeing issues, I wonder if strong incentives to fix these issues actually exists.

    Every year there are untold viable suggestions to improve the processes that lead to howler or confusing decisions. An entire half of the last world cup was played with different interpretations and then never used again.

    In short, I hate to question the purity of professional rugby, but having inconsistent and confusing law interpretations sure does ramp up the clicks. Modern day currency for the business side of the sport.

    Not suggesting they purposefully stuff things up, but I do wonder if the marketing department is more important than the refereeing department.

    Maybe the administrators don't prioritise fixing the reffing as much as we doπŸ€”

    Or is everyone just goofing off at rules meetings?

    So Bryce Lawrence has admitted mistakes but in a very strange statement that didn’t admit mistakes. Can’t find the quote to get wording right but apparently they will own it and get better.
    Oh. No apology to teams or fans either. They really can be their own worst enemy at times.

    The pass to Akira was forward.
