RWC: All Blacks v Ireland (QF2)
-
Add Sevu Reece to the list for potential NZ player of the year.
(along with Ardie Savea and ALB)He has been absolutely outstanding, and is playing with huge confidence. Defence solid, high ball work solid, and super dangerous each time he gets the ball.
-
Watching the game again, Todd injured lead up to his send off. Carrying his arm really weird. Might not see him next week
EDIT: Yup I'm a genius doctor
-
@Machpants If it's a dislocated shoulder, then surely they will bring a player in. Papalii (although he looked to have picked up an injury yesterday) or Squire perhaps.
-
Finally getting to the aftermatch interviews and isn't Shag a great advertisement for the game these days - some subtle humour, great recognition of opponents at the right time (making a point of his first utterance being to acknowledge Schmidt and Best was pure class) and also calling attention to Reado for his efforts over the entirety of the season and then his work in this game.

@Siam I hate how you can be part of a maul from the start, work your way through, end up on the side, nek minut you are pinged (think Ardie got done for one of them)
This.

Not really sure what Matt Todd could do there?
Tackle?
Exactly. It ain’t about intent anymore. Or even it being an accident. If you’re in the way, flailing around like a epileptic squid you’re gonna get pinged. Todd got sent off for being a muppet. Can’t even claim cynicism, just rubbishness.
He's directly responsible for both of Ireland's tries. His YC was deserved - you're supposed to tackle.
Please explain to me the rule that Todd broke? He was inside, the vision clearly showed that. He did not make shoulder or arm contact with the irish player's head. It was at best a collision I would have thought? Honest question
I'd go with foul play obstruction. He made no attempt to tackle and simply plopped himself in the way.
Who is he obstructing. Isn't obstruction preventing someone from playing?
Poor decision which he made worse by inventing weirder call.
When you're in a hole stop digging. Should have had the guts to reverse his initial call.

@akan004 Dunno the article has Shag all 'probably', 'we'll see' and 'old injury inflamed' type thing.
this probably did not help

The player who is going to place the ball at the foot of the posts.
Todd prevented that by throwing himself in the way.
Illegal act which prevented a try being scored.
Penalty try, YC.
Pretty easy to work out.

@MiketheSnow The only problem was Nig continually going on about never onside, never mentions obstruction. And Todd came from behind the try line so utter arse was spouted by Nige

So he got the offside bit wrong but the rest correct.
Todd was binned for the latter not the former.

The ball carrier, from playing the ball. I suggest you watch a replay. It's obvious and uncontroversial. Ignore that he got flustered in his explanation, the penalty and card are justified.

Let's say we just disagree.

We can, but the law agrees with me.
