Technically correct....but is this the sport we want?

[taniwharugby]

This is the most awful part of the game...there is obstruction at every bloody maul

[Canes4life]

Lol, that happens all the time.

[Steve]

Its hard to love this sport these days folks.

[Tim]

@taniwharugby Yeah, it's fundamentally crazy, isn't it.

[chimoaus]

Broken leg

Are they going to strike out tries for France, South Africa and Ireland in the same circumstances? I suspect not.

[Victor Meldrew]

OK, it's only Namibia, but Roigard is so much crisper than Christie.

Lineout mauls refereed fairly for both attacking and defending sides?

Absolutely. 15 years too late.

[Steve]

The two Namibian lads were ahead of their jumper in the very next line out. Laughable.

[taniwharugby]

@chimoaus awful angle of his foot....

Yes

You should be running them off their feet

[sparky]

Foster needs to get stuck into the TMO in the press conference after this game. He won’t though. Too nice to be a successful international Rugby coach.

You could dam near argue that 95% of mauls have that sort of obstruction or players joining (sliding) in front of the ball carrier.....

[taniwharugby]

@Mattasaurus very rare pinging the attacking side for that.

@chimoaus Haha, no, I avoid that one. Some people just bring their grumpiness to every thread.

It’s a bunch of blokes aged 40 plus on an internet forum. What do you expect ?

95% is generously low
