@Crucial
Yeah I noticed that as well - thing is by the looks of it the ref is looking right at the lions players who are about to position themselves in the Crusaders backline.The only way that is legit is if the halback has lifted the ball and has been delaying his pass. Even if he has just lifted it there is no way the ref can see that from his position and certainly no way the defensive players further out can tell. Some of those guys are in the motion of their third step

Earlier in the thread a link to an analysis was posted. I found this picture somewhat telling. Hope Peyper has a copy.
That is a great shot. It does show how Lions try and get a jump on out of the ruck.
But it also highlighhts two other things:
-
The spreading out means there is a weakness very close to the ruck. In photo no Saders close in enough to attack this; and
-
Something I noticed in Maori rewatch and haven't seen commented on elsewhere: The Lions player in ruck has pulled his knees forward. Thus the back of the ruck (and offside line) is perhaps two feet further forward than had he left legs outstretched. Compare with Saders. Two feet takes a lot of time away from first receiver.
For Lions to have a chance will require then to slow our ruck ball and use time to set up rush. POM and SOB are experts at this. Our cleanout needs to be ruthless.

'Likes talking about beer' and 'likes beer' are two different things

Looks like fourth man out has stolen a march and dragged a couple of the outsides with him. Clear offside with the ref perfectly positioned. What is not apparent from the picture though is whether or not the offence was penalised.

They've been doing it all day ref!
Typical Kiwi hyperbole - there's only five minutes gone!

Exactly. You have to get onto the ref early.

That call always reminds me of a tighthead prop who was great for calls like that. Including against stokes Vegas when their loosehead only had one arm and our tighthead was heard yelling/complaining at the ref that his opposite wasn't binding.

My brother in law has scheduled a party for his birthday on saturday kicking off at 7:30.
He doesn't have sky.
I got a severe frowning from the mrs when I suggested we perhaps skip it.
Did I mention he doesn't have sky?FFs.
What self-respecting New Zealander makes alternative plans when the Allblacks are playing? Skip it. She'll get over it. You won't if you miss it.

Just checked the tape on youtube and the penalty was blown. Still means they are cheating fucks and can't complain about us being cheating fucks.

@jegga you are my favourite person on this forum, and genuinely hope you find a solution to this problem you are facing.
I have had my share of my missus arranging non-important stuff that overlap with important rugby games, and what I have learned, is that every situation is unique, in the sense that every solution is also unique, and one can never use the same excuse twice.
These are hard times, but I count on you, that you can solve this shit and watch the game, like the rest of us sensible people. -
Had a chuckle reading the Evening Standard on the tube tonight and seeing this opening paragraph in a story
"When it comes to talking about the All Blacks, it is not so much shock and awe as being dragged into the realm of myth and aura. "
Don't they know that Myth has retired? Aura has been quiet of late but she's pretty good at looking after the boys when required.
