I'm not sure one 50-22 has been attempted by either side across all 3 Bledisloes?
I think one of the very first kicks of the last game looked like a 50-22 attempt, but it bounced up instead of out.
It is an interesting tactical change now because if you have the ball within your 50 and 40m line the opposition wingers almost have to drop back to protect the 50-22 which in theory opens up the wide channels. I'm not sure if that is how Akira was used. As in purposely get your phase play to just within your 50 and then send it wide. Or setup phase play to go for the 50-22 which if pulled off is a huge advantage.

Exactly. The effects of that law aren't immediately obvious. The intention was always to reduce the 13 man walls of defence.

@crucial its the ABs, he will get it reversed, RC rescinded and a try awarded to his record.
And if he doesn’t, JUSTICE 4 Jordie. J4J armbands and t-shirts for the next few tests.
Ugh, you Cantabs are becoming Saffas.
If you are going to go that way a Barrett's Stop Getting Red Cards armbands seems to me more sensible to help ensure BB doesn't get the trifecta next week.

May be more effective on a skiddy pitch against a Sean Edwards-style rush defense?
I haven't seen the AB's really change their push-up and drift defense in ... years?
I think percentage-wise they are still happy to give up ground, rely on speed to the breakdown and technique to isolate a center/wing and then target the breakdown to look to counter-attack.

I couldnt clearly recall the Nabura one, but jeez he looks like he lined that one up!

@booboo said in Wallabies vs All Blacks 3 (Perth):
My limited understanding based on snippets read is that "deliberate contact to the head with force" constitutes a RC.
So, break that down:
- deliberate? No
- head? Yes
- force? Minimal
Other mitigating factors?
- seeking balance for safety
- orange player impeding ability to safely execute
Struggling to get RC out of that.
Seeing a clip subsequent to the game it's clear Murphy immediately called for the TMO to "check that". So the TMO review IMO wasn't an impartial review of the facts, it was a process to try and confirm Murphy's immediate reaction.
Thanks, agreed with all except maybe last sentence: not sure if I follow you but not sure why immediate call for TMO can't be impartial (but this is so minor, forget it).
Onto the important point, I'd have thought a red card is to stamp out dangerous, cheating, unnecessary or evil foul play, I don't think it is any of those. Perhaps dangerous, but in my mind the jumper has to focus totally on the ball and if the tackler is going for the jumper rather than competing then the onus is on the tackler to be careful. I think this is a grey area and I wonder if/how they can police it more fairly.
Edit: I see Crucial already said something similar.
I'm glad you all are still discussing this and with more clarity than I could muster. -
@nostrildamus I think it's a case of "if the law says it's a red card, the law is an ass"
I think a more senior ref. might be more inclined to knowingly give a yellow, like Nigel Owens.
Wayne Barnes might be 50/50 i.e. give the red and then say to his superiors in the post-game review "look in this situation, the law is an ass and we need to look at it".
Harder for a more junior ref. trying to make it up the hierarchy though.
-
@landp you do realize invoking Wayne Barnes' name is instant PTSD?
-
@taniwharugby said in Wallabies vs All Blacks 3 (Perth):
@crucial that is the problem, it wasnt a kick, it was reckless use of ones foot
No way that they should start the process at the same place as someone that deliberately kicked someones head.
I would argue against reckless.

In fairness to Kerevi, he was a long way back, and waiting to tackle
Thanks Nisbo.
glad I'm not alone at this party...

Yeah I do, totally.
But after years of psychotherapy I admit he became a bloody good referee. And he's a seriously good rugby person if you check out his interviews. I know there's a huge amount of cognitive dissonance required to see this as an AB supporter
I mean would you prefer Wayne Barnes or say a random French or NZ referee versus the Boks now?

I was pretty taken aback by how Murphy dealt with Jordie and the ABs in that instance too - came off really angry and almost like he'd been personally slighted.
-
I happened to be seated near the race where the officials left the field at halftime. It was interesting that a few police officers had stationed themselves just above the race obviously anticipating the largely NZ contingent in this area to maybe offer a bit of advice to Murphy as he left.

Glad you didn't say the large NZer contingent!
Carefully crafted phrasing!

Jordie will get 3 weeks.
Law 9.11 Players must not do anything that is reckless or dangerous to others.
Low-end: 2 weeks
Mid-range: 6 weeks
Top-end: 10+ weeks
Max: 52 weeksIt's a mid range offence because it's contact with the head. He will get maximum discount of 50% leaving a sanction of 3 weeks.
Mark my words. They barely even need to have the hearing.
