Australia v All Blacks - Bled I

[Bones]

How was it not a penalty try when Bell ripped it off Smith on the ground, right on the tryline?

Pedant alert Mr Barnes

Mounga always becomes invisible when we aren't playing well.

Classic thesilverfern, Mo'unga isn't the problem tonight, ASmith is having one of his his bad games and the loosies are losing the contest, so why would you blame the 10?

[Victor Meldrew]

Dumbest off-side ever by the Wobblie

[Tim]

He tapped that, what bullshit.

[Nepia]

When has it ever had to move a noticeable distance?

[sparky]

Bit of an arm wrestle this. The game could go either way I think. In the long run, this will help the ABs’ RWC campaign more than a blow-out.

Is it because he's from Canterbury?

I actually agree with most of this.

[booboo]

Whoever stripped Smith on the ground that should have been a penalty try

[ACT Crusader]

Have they just sent the wrong player off? Pretty sure Barnes said number 12

Correct call

[Mackerzzzz]

Don't agree at all. That's was clearly tapped

[gt12]

You can see his foot touch the fucking ball

[Chris]

@gt12

Nope it has to be tapped forward

We are going to have English refs at some point in the RWC so again it’s great preparation.

And how often do we ever see it on taps?

No. He regathered it then tapped it with his foot while holding it.

[Damo]

I think the call is correct. It is not league. You have to kick the ball.

visible distance according to the law. What fucks me off is the TMO viewing on the long wide shot to make such a determination.
