Wallabies v Springboks 1
-
After all is said and done it was very smart play by White. The Boks best player is now off the field
-
That was fucking dire from SA
So much possession and field position
Did fuck all with it

They really do choke versus Oz, in Oz

Didn't kick as much as they usually do. Lot of line breaks but no finishes. Looks like they want to play differently but why?
Just kick kick kick and score.

Fuck this is a joke.
Why?
Because he got sent from the field for 10mins for a slight, unintentional slap. It wasn't deliberate, there's almost no degree of force. Anyone making an argument for that to be a YC is a moron.
-
@MiketheSnow looked unimaginative after the maul when it went wide.
-
Anyone that believes that slap should have been a yellow needs their head read. An accidental slap to face. Penalty at worse. What the fuck is rugby becoming?

Did he make contact with the head or not?

Do you think it should be a YC or not?

Yes. You can call me a moron now.
On the flipside, I'd penalise White for his conduct and reverse the penalty.

There is contact to the head all the time. How do you reckon the Bok got his head cut?

So you think it was dangerous? Holy fuck.

Of course there is. It's rugby. Shit happens in contact. But this is upright at the back of a scrum with no mitigating factors other than there wasn't a lot of force in an open hand.
Refs aren't given much option here.
If White had been passing the ball and Faf knocked it down with that single swinging arm, would just be a penalty. But it isn't.

I agree the refs have little leeway. That's because the law is an arse.

That chart is used for multiple things, and this situation isn't one of them, so you're being a little facetious.
And, as a ref, you should know that chart isn't a concrete set of rules.

So the Head Contact Process isn't applicable in the situation where White got slapped in the head?
And, as a ref, you should know that chart isn't a concrete set of rules.
So by ignoring it, that aids consistency. Right.

@Derpus said in Wallabies v Springboks 1:
@NTA the play acting is definitely the worse crime.
Although no issue if he just awards advantage as soon as it happens eh. Kinda hard to miss.
If it had just been a penalty straight away against FdK, I think the need for the play acting is removed.
And I would have been satisfied with just a penalty for the record. It was reckless, like tackling someone without the ball or hitting them late because you thought they'd throw a dummy.
