@Rapido so you're argument is that rugby would be better game to watch if ref is stricter about the millimeter of where a penalty is geven while ignoring the meters that defender is off side?
Absolutely 100%
The millimetres, though, is about 1500 of them, to his right. And the mark has a pile of bodies on it. So to take e it quick he would need to also go about a further 2000mm backwards .by which time defenders would have retreated.
Its terrible sport. Fake try, fake yellow, because of intellectual dishonesty by ref using same justification you gave used.
Occasionally a legit quick tap opportunity does present itself, and I applaud the quick thinking.
This quick tap was prevented by physics. Though. He needed about 2 extra seconds to do that legally
Boks still would have had plenty of options to score legitimate points from there. Might even have eventually got a yellow if aus offended again from whatever play they chose from that penalty.
But, that was fake
1 to 1.5m by 1 to 1.5 dogleg is huge distance when only 5m from line and half of defenders are on floor.
'Letting it go' didn't improve the match.

I recall having these discussions before on here, usually with not much agreement (but I appreciate the MikeTheSnow likes for my current crusade....
)So, I did a search for my interest, and there's several, usually also of me referencing myself from my previous times. So, why not add to it.
I notice, this gripe was also with BO'K allowing it.
This was from the 57-0 thrashing match:
and from last week:

I would be interested in how @NTA sees David Rennie as a coach,And the Aussie rugby public rate him.
Is he making a difference building towards the WC
Are you guys improving under him, Stagnating or going backwards.I think he's doing about as well as you could expect, given the personnel provided by our rubbish development systems.
Could anyone do better? Nope.

Aren't they? Maybe we just haven't seen it before.
There was a move particularly in the SH to get back to something like a post-match function from memory. We saw videos last year of the Wallabies presenting A Smith with a framed thing for his 100th as an example.

ABs have been pushing this since Hansen, it’s good to see it spread

According to Bruno and AAA what goes on the field....

Belated watch of second half.
Not much in it. Injuries buggered Aussie backline, and the way the half went hampered what looked to me like opportunity against tiring Boks.
As it was, BOK’s refereeing mid half left a lot to be desired. Nine consecutive penalties including seven around 22 only gave way to warning, when a yellow was warranted. Then TMO call for relieving penalty. Wallabies might well have expected to have scored a try after all that at around 60, and at 10-17 would have made it more interesting.
As was, Boks’ mugging of Gold in H1 was always likely to be decisive.
