So the whole game chat is a minute law discussion?
Cute

Just watched it again with volume up, and I reckon the AR must’ve seen something because when the refs came together after the DMac dotted down, they were pretty quick to refer it and at least one of them said so.
And I think someone mentioned it earlier that these types of situations often get overlooked. I don’t think they do. The refs are pretty good at picking it up.

There is no way we have enough depth for 8 strong teams, what a fucking dream
But we do, 8 teams would be at least the equal to the level of the 5 in Oz
We also don’t know how good a lot of the fringe players could get if they given several games in a row rather than filling in here and there

Well it's not, but hey it was a pretty tight game. Why not discuss seemingly minute things.
Oh and...look at the scoreboard.

What a comeback!
Smith is playing fucking well this year. Has to be the form player in NZ.Frizell and MMT were good too. I’ve said it before but it is crazy the depth coming through for that 6/8 spot that has been such an issue since Kaino left.
Boshier would be a good shot at the third choice 7
for the ABs. Not sure he is actually supporting his own body weight for some of those turnovers though.On the Dmac non try. The fuck up was them missing the offside in the first place. Having a whinge about them correcting the mistake is stupid.

Just watched. My goodness. I don’t really have a dog in this fight, but there is something about seeing Aaron Mauger and Tony Brown celebrating at the expense of Gatland that warms my heart.

remember George Clancy in SA and the Forward Pass?
TMO calls a forward pass after All Blacks appear to have scored | Rugbydump
Earlier today the Springboks beat the All Blacks 18-5 in their Tri Nations encounter in Port Elizabeth. Here's a quick look at one of the big talking points from the game.
OK with the protocols being ignored? What if it was 5 phases back, or 6 ... or offside at the kickoff? How far back do you go?

It’s not ideal i agree. However, making the correct call is 1000x more important IMO. This game was a perfect example. If they ignore their initial fuck up, which the touch judge clearly saw because he subsequently pointed it out, because it went through one phase too many then the game is over and we never get to see one of the best comebacks in years. Or they go back 10-20m and make the correct call.
This situation also highlights that the two phase protocol is a stupid arbitrary line. Why two phases? That is hardly anything in the context of the game. Why isn’t it the last break in play like they do with foul play? Two phases is likely to lead to legitimate infringements getting missed
or the ref being over cautious and blowing a play up when he otherwise could have let it go and checked back. -

Also there is so much subjective stuff in a game of rugby, that a try could be rubbed out for a difference of opinion.

Yeah sweet, no need for TMOs or touch judges then. Or the citing commissioner. If it doesn’t get dealt with then and there by the ref then get over it.

sure, go to that extreme, knock yourself out
(i could do without the TMO though, it adds nothing)

two late thoughts after watching the highlights
Loved collins mind games at the end, running into the maul so the chiefs would think we were going for an all in drive....and the nuggie plays it...
and i honestly think sio almost forgot to put it down...

who was the dipshit for us that completely unnecessarily went in on Smith leaving the world's biggest hole right on our lie? That's a read that will haunt you for ages
