Fly-half / 10

@ACT-Crusader Wallabies didn't get decent ball once. Bok absolutely obliterated them at the breakdown.

There were a couple of periods where I thought the Wallaby forwards drove over the ball well and created quick ball. White was shocking though. He dithered big time behind the ruck.

they looked clueless without Quade.
He's there, I can hear the booing
oh ha ha. I suspect the Oz public like him actually. Isn't he an Oz citizen now?
I'm trying to get NTA to bite after this comment in the ABs thread
@NTA said in All Blacks v Argentina II:
Your crowd booing is shit BTW - you can't pretend it's just about Quade any more
Ozzie crowd are booing a fuck load more than ABs crowd did, even taking out the saffas booing Dr robotnik
I thought the South African component of the Aussie crowd booed Nic White more

@ACT-Crusader thanks. Willemse struggled in his second year in 10 for the Stormers, moved to 15 and last year to 12. He has been outstanding with Libbok and Gelant this season. Was the same age group at Paul Roos as my son. Great to see him play to his potential. Now it's in 3 positions, but always favoured 10.

Loads of penalties to Oz, then a piece of 'foul' play afterwards rules them all out and takes precedence.
Pickerill hates two things: rugby and Australians.
C'mon NTA you should be better than that! I actually thought the YC was for stopping the player after penalty, before he had gone 10, but regardless we all know fould play rightly or wrongly takes predecence, always has, if someone is offside and you smack him, that rules out offside.
I just disagree that we're calling that foul play to start with. BUT if we are:
A few minutes later, Kolisi whacks Wright in the chops, but that's play on because Wright's head was.... about as low as the other incident.
Call both or call neither.
Mate I just didn't think you were a ref whinger, I personally didn't see how the Kolisi one was a penalty, and they were both a bit different, in one looked like a swinging arm that connected (YC), but I don't think I would of considered it a YC , and neither do I think O'keefe he seemed to be talked into it by Paul Williams.

@NTA nothing in it. A little push in the Fijians chest when Mapimpi gets up. I imagine the humiliation of being totally dominated by the bokke is what caused the over the top reaction by the Australians
Mapimpi was pretty fired up before that, he was yelling at Nick Wright to shut up.
I sure he mentioned to Korobite that when he tackles with his arms he not as effective or something with the sledge push in chest/neck. Thought O'Keefe had to YC him as he had warned everyone about starting push and shove. -

Actually in this case it's more the TMO.
If we're going to look for incidents in every collision with the benefit of video, the game is more fucked than I thought. Particularly when it's inconsistent across games.
How many times did someone clip someone's head or neck? I'm all for player safety but there comes a point where people switch off.
It didn't affect the outcome, but it is still extremely frustrating either live or on TV

@NTA god you must have hated the 39th minute of game one
You'll have to refresh my memory?

@Dan54 watching incident again im a little annoyed - Mapimpi got yellow because of the fracas rather than the action, by exact same logic Valitini should have sat for coming in making it what it was
I have to admit that I found the result of that fracas rather weird. What Mapimpi did was nothing different to actions in almost every game. A little statement of who won the battle on that occasion.
I guess that some action was required and BOK took the easy path of YCing the catalyst for all the shitfuckery that went on straight after.
Koroibete might need to work on his “tackle” technique for union though. I think he’s been quite lucky in the last two games that the ref team have had other things to look at in his incidents but I can see another ref punishing him for his poor timing with the wrap. That attempt on Mapimpi was a swinging arm to the head but got lost in the afters.
All in all the refs had some odd situations to deal with and were at least clear and concise in their decisions even if some could be debated. BOK is becoming the closest ref around to Mark Lawrence. Remains very calm and explains his reasons.
I get that we don’t want refs taking the colour out of the game but someone should have put that gnat White in his box early. His mouth and actions were a major contributor to the niggle from both sides.
He wouldn’t last long in the days of players being allowed to sort out fucktards during play. -

@NTA there was a tackle on the try line, Springbok 11 knock the ball on and Aus 9 was viciously assaulted from the ensuing scrum
Oh that. Yes I found it distasteful and felt that the yellow was correct and that White should have been penalised to reverse it.
I'm not blaming our loss on the ref tho.
-
@Crucial i have no problem with Koroibete's tackle in this game. Yes it touched Mapimpis face but in that situation it happens and Im fine with it. I also understand Mapimpis reaction to feeling the contact to the head reacting.
I don't like the tackle from last week, but im ok with the ref disagreeing with me, but i am not ok with the decisions that bookends it. Faainga should have been binned and Faf not.
