Would have been beautiful tv if the ref had charged down the conversion
Never seen that before!

George Nepia once scored a try under the posts in a match - when he was the referee. Sadly, charity matches in the 50s weren't televised so we have no footage.

Time wasting is my 1000% hatiest thing about televised rugby these days, so yay Raynal let this be a watershed where rugby veers away from super slow massive bodied NFL bullshit over the next decade please and thank you
15s time should be reffed the same as 7s time. Sorted. All the humungous beasts would have to lose 10-15kgs of muscle to get fit. Even better reduce the bench - the 8 on the bench but only allowed to use 5 or whatever is a good start.

@Machpants and yet they introduce water breaks....

I think that was to stop the continous water carries on the field at every stoppage. It might even speed the game up? Just put a table on the half way line, either side - help yourself boys, but the game ain't stopping. And if you are front row and required? Whelp free kick to the opposition

Yep. Idea was to stop lots of small delays by creating one per half when there was an injury being dealt to.
Does get weird when there is no injury and they just stop though. -

@Daffy-Jaffy I stopped watching at 4 mins after hearing not one mention of Foley's and his teammates actions. They're not trying to discuss the incident, they're just having a sooky.

Exactly.
Lineout throws overturned for not being thrown in time.
Scrum feeds overturned for not being put in.
That video actually makes it even worst for Foley.

Fair play to Raynal there. He was clear when he told Foley to carry on, told him time on, gave him plenty of time to kick the ball and warned him a 3rd time.
And when Nic White demanded an explanation, he was again really clear and told him firmly and politely why he made the decision and why it was right

Spot on. All of them ignored the elephant in the room - Foley repeatedly ignoring the Ref's instructions (twice) to get on with a penalty kick. And astonishing to hear one former player saying she had no idea that was a rule

Won't matter though. Even some Oz posters here are buying into that rubbish being spouted about 'never seen before in test rugby'.

On my rewatch one of the Ozzies actually jumps at the last penaly we took! Should be another penaly the grub!
The three comeback tries were really on ABs errors (first one should've been scrubbed). And these were all not acceptable 'I'd be happy they were all never seen in black again' level errors
Sotutu misses Foley badly
CC just fucking digs in by dozens of metres
Jordan can't tackle or even slow Samu"winning" penalty for Oz was Akira being unable to actually clean in a normal ruck, pathetic
That was fucking shit rugby all round, from the stupid decision to run the ball into midfield, making any subsequent penalty eminently kickable, to the piss poor attempt to clean out by both AI and FN.

Careful now. You’ll be tagged as a hater.

Once again, I'd like you to point out one example of someone being done for time wasting taking a penalty kick to a line out. I have never seen it before, neither has SLipper or Whitelock.
Yes I've seen a (sadly) very few for lineouts and scrum put ins, but never for taking the kick like that. I'm not saying I disagree with the decision, but as far as I can remember it was unprecedented
