i still don't understand how he wasn't penalised for in the side
He actually didn't come in from side, that icture is rubbish, as that's where he ended up. I must be old, butFFS if that a card it's time to pack game in, it was and even in picture clearly shoulder on shoulder contact, and if you can't do that you can't clear out at ruck/maul.
And why would you do it, the same reason as you hit most rucks scrums etc etc etc, even when other team has it, to make tha ball as messy as possible. I not being rude, but thank f*** you fellas never played in teams with me or teams I coached, if you think going passive when opposition got ball!!oh shut up Dan
I've just watched it, he absolutely came in the side. You old fuck, learn about the gate.
"going passive" jesus christ really? why didn't he just ruck a few dudes too. You know, that used to be totally okay 30 years ago as well
Yep fair enough, I just went back on a video and he came from side, but, I repeat if we going to card people for that we in the shit with the game.
No it's not about rucking people, but you don't just stand there because other team has ball in ruck, or do you not want counterrucking where you blow teams back over the ball. That's my main point, is rugby is a game of contest, and if we ever get to the point where we say, ok they have got ball, I will wander off and stand elsewhere, we might as well watch League.i never said it was a red, but that's opening up for one with a high degree of risk, for no reward.
And it wasn't a counter-ruck, because as noted, then he hits the 7. I've done that heaps, especially because the 7s ribs are open and you can really hurt him
It was dumb because the ref is looking right at him, and he put himself in the refs hands, in 2022, with a reputation. And without a massive ref brainfart, that particular move will lever win us the ball.
But I'm most angry about him abandoning pillar right on the line

@Dan54 im sure there are others but you really are the first person ive "met" that would have been surprised if a card was given for that based on similar rulings
this is what is so frustrating, this is just a penalty but we see cards given for things like knock downs

@chimoaus I disagree. Live at the ground it looked dodgy as hell, it really wasn't just a rugby incident or timing.
There was another ruck about the same time, I'll check it as well... It also looked dodgy
With all due respect NZZP, I really think live at ground the ref who was right there would of seen if it dodgy etc, and even TMO etc never seemed to call for replay.
I think almost every counter ruck is similar, and if we can't have shoulder to shoulder contact in rugby , we can't compete! -

I've never seen a card for a knock down, now you're just making stuff up!

@Crucial It was clear as Crucial, and that was my point, there is no way it was a card,!
I wouldn't say 'clear as'. The trouble here is the ref interpretation (or law ignoring) that judges a finger on the ruck constitutes binding. SB is touching the ruck so doesn't need to come from behind last players. Ireland 6 is touching the ruck so is deemed part of it and the ball not out.
Timing is out from SB because of the ball wasn't picked up. That's what he was pinged for (as an advantage) -
@Machpants ive 100% seen a card for "deliberate knock down/on"...and it it wasn't even down, NPC game a couple of years ago, the Otago player reaches and pops the ball up...flys well out of his reach...runs and dives to regather but misses, yellow card, didn't have realistic chance of successfully intercepting

In breaking news, Cane’s injury from earlier this season has flared up and he’s been ruled out, Whitelock has caught COVID, Ardie has symptoms - Scott Barrett has been named AB captain
Fuck I hope this is not true, reported anywhere?

I was taking the piss, no such thing as a knock down (unless you are talking about an opponent), only knock on.

...2017 otago v Ta$man if anyone caresHaha, well it's in the laws twice, but nothing to do with the ball!
Law 9: Foul play
A player must not charge or knock down an opponent carrying the ball without attempting to grasp that player.
Law application guidelines
Charging into the ruck
Dangerous charging. A player must not charge or knock down an opponent carrying the ball without trying to grasp that player.

@Machpants i think its clear i was talking about knock on, i just used the term "down" because, knocking it up can be argued there is a chance to intercept but where it cant really if its knocked straight down
should have known someone would be a pedant and point out "the laws say knock ON"

Totally, any chance to be a pain in the arse, I'll take it! But there are certain posters on here that take that term as a personal affront!

Last thing from me on the Scott Barrett non offence. The Ref saw it as Shoulder on Shoulder so no card,the judiciary didn't see it as a citing offence.
So the debate about an incident that was deemed Ok by the people who really matter is a complete waste of time.No one can change the facts it was not a penalty,But the offside by SB was. -

absolutely no one here is saying it was a fucking red card. no one.
plenty of reasons it was dumb. and it was a penalty. So there's your first proof it was dumb.

@Chris i can concede that if he'd come through the gate then i could be drawn to the shoulder to shoulder/ fair contest side of things....but i kind of figure when you're THAT offside then you're opening yourself up to every inch of criticism
i dont think its unfair to say the irish dude doesn't expect to get hit, he's looking up and seeing one of his guys in front of him, so it is quite different in my mid to the same hit in open play
