All Blacks v BI Lions Test #3
-
So the general feeling about the town is that while it is a pity we didn't win, it was a hell of a series and a really good result for Rugby.
I don't disagree either.
The Lions fans have to be the best travelling fans of any sport?
I'm not too miffed about all that happened. If it was against England or Aussie or South Africa then I would be more gutted.

I watched the video again, and it's pretty likely that Read missed the ball.
Not only that, but he's been going up and contesting the restart like that all tour. Playing devil's advocate, if there is a penalty, why not for obstruction? People move into his path and prevent him having a clear contest for the ball.
The real issue with the TMO is that with any event in isolation you can see multiple infringements. Eventualy it's the ref that has to decide what is material. Bleating after the fact is poor form.
I'm all for 10.4(s) being enforced too. All Blacks seem to accept this more than the opposition (except you TJ) - I'd love to see referees get back to the old days, and stop players backchatting or appealing. Get on with playing suck it up and move on.
10.4(s) (from someone above) All players must respect the authority of the referee. They must not dispute the referee’s decisions.

Completely agree!
The all Blacks under Ritchie's Rule seem to respect the opposition a bit too.
I hate all this head rubbing etc when an opposition player knocks on or something. It's a weak move and looks damn pathetic.
Retallick is the worst in this area.
I don't mind when a scrum smokes another scrum and the front row stand up and beat their chests, that is a one v one thing

Garces and Poite shouldn't even be allowed to ref club rugby

Fans were just great value, every single one of them by the looks. They can drink a bucketload but hold it better than the average kiwi fan.

The headline doesn't match the content of the article. Since they don't have the transcript of what Garces said, they can't make that assertion. Nonetheless, I had heard Poite say Oui, Jerome on his way back to bring captains together and wondered what Garces had said.
Poite made his decision of accidental on his view that the ball first hit Owens on the shoulder before he reflexively caught it with his left hand. That's what he is saying to Read.

Why is an article about Barrett's kicking in 2016 being dredged up as some indicator Hansen is mental? It's over halfway through 2017, show me those stats.
As someone said yesterday, I fear WR are going to remain silent on Poite and Garces, which is shithouse. Garces was just incompetent, but Poite showed some next level dodgyness. They should be fucking hauled.
Fuck we really are the great complainers of world rugby, the only reason we ever lose is because the referee screwed us.
We lost because we played poorly. And didn't take our chances (penalty kicks included)
Beauden isn't a great kicker under pressure.
We would have won the second test if he made a couple of kicks that most other international kickers would have made. Likewise the third... and that's not including the one we turned down from 45 metres late in the game.
I've seen Jordie nail that kick before.
He also cost the Hurricanes the 2015 final with his erratic kicking.
But keep rolling out stats from 80 point wins against Samoa/ The Sunwolves etc to prove your point... kicking under pressure is different

He played at it. Then, knowing he'd stuffed up he dropped it. The frogs shat the bed

Yes, he played it. After it hit him on the shoulder is what Poite said.

@Pot-Hale So that's still a penalty right?

Not sure anyone is saying that.
We would have won if
- Savea could catch a pass
- We don't get dropsies in their 22
- We play smarter at the end to get a penalty
- The ref doesn't bottle it completely in the final 2 minutes
Naturally, that's the one that gets the headline. But you need all those things to happen for us to lose. And it was pretty egregious... no advantage, changing a call. I mean, seriously, when was the last time you saw a ref change a call that wasn't for foul play?

No, I don't think so. I'm surmising here. If Poite is saying to Read that the ball hit Owens first on the shoulder then that is accidental offside. Handling it is secondary.
That's my assumption of what transpired. I can't see another reason as to why he would say that to Read when Read queried it.

Shoulder or arm? Because their first thought was arm, and that was the discussion with the TMO. Shoulder I"m not sure about ...
Besides, once the decision is made on the ground, there is actually nothing in the laws that I know of that allows a call to be changed. So really, it's semantics - Ref got it wrong, it's representative of refs in sport at the moment, and it's a terrible look for the game.
For context, that's two games in two weeks that were decided by the application of a 'technical' penalty. With laws that are both pretty shit.
