France vs Springboks

[canefan]

What a terrible call by Barnes. French player slips a tackle and gets penalised for not releasing the ball

[taniwharugby]

@canefan didnt really slip the tackle, he still went to deck, was a quick movement, looked like the defender was always in contact, albeit no longer hands/arms

[ACT Crusader]

Close to a YC for the Boks there. Try scoring chance gone.

Edit: and Barnes gives it.

[Victor Meldrew]

Game of the WE so far.

[taniwharugby]

@ACT-Crusader although shitty adjudicating of a maul by another official

[akan004]

Big call to sub Kolisi. Been outstanding.

Especially when the sub isn’t that great IMO.

[ACT Crusader]

They may look at this.

[taniwharugby]

@ACT-Crusader double movement surely

[The Irishman]

That's double movement

[MiketheSnow]

Barnes is such a twat at times

[ACT Crusader]

There was a penalty advantage so if they do say momentum had stopped and he needed to place the ball before the try, it will be still France ball.

[Stargazer]

@taniwharugby Didn't look like he propelled himself forward; looked like it was one of his teammates.

[antipodean]

How does that try stand when he's clearly propelling himself forward with the arm not holding the ball?

What is this thing called double movement? That’s not in the game played in heaven 😉

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer nah, looked like he made the movement to me.

[Toddy]

Barnes spotted a forward pass

[taniwharugby]

@Toddy the call supposedly came from his AR, no replay given though

[pakman]

Feel like reffing has screwed game since the 70.

Yes, you can see the AR tell Barnes, and it was thrown forward because Le Roux had almost no forward momentum.
