If Rennie has made shit up its hard to see why. He's not actually under the kind of pressure you'd expect a coach of a bad team to be. Not even the media hacks are calling for his head. Strange one.
I agree that it's incredibly unlikely the judiciary would say any of the things Rennie reckons they did.
I don’t think he’s outright lying but certainly “interpreting” some comments to continue a feeling within the team that they need to redress some wrongs.
Michael Cheika says hi.

In the most contentious and controversial refereeing decision of the year, we have to rely on the aggrieved coach’s second-hand version of what World Rugby has said about Australia’s complaint. If that doesn’t tell you how corrupt and opaque the governance structures (or lack of them) are in rugby union, nothing will. Where is the official WR statement? Is anyone in charge here? Or are they all too busy covering their arses and protecting their expense accounts to comment? Of course Rennie is going to say that. He’s like the kid who comes home from school and tells his parents the teacher has given him the week off from doing homework.
Fucking hell why didn't I think of that when I was kid

The vipers aren't at his door because he's doing a great job at acting as if it's the Wallabies who are the victims.

Yeah I suspect the we were hard done by stuff is an attempt get his team up , not ask for sympathy
Imagine if the Wallabies won that game, would they now be ranked ninth?

It's a pity that SANZAAR only publishes media releases with the summary of the Judicial Committee's decision (unlike World Rugby). Unless I see any proof of it, I don't believe for a minute that the Judicial Committee (or the Foul Play Committee earlier) have actually said that they think Newell should have been cited.
For what must be the third time; they didn't say that. It was a contention of Swain's defence: If Swain is here, so should Newell be

Yep just a bit of confusion over who actually was running the judiciary it seems.
Little things like this happen in Aus at times. No idea if Rennie was misquoted or just said something wrong. -

I love the little dig at the end...
Asked if a crackdown was needed on time-wasting, Raynal said: "That's not my role. But what do we want in our sport? What kind of picture do we want to deliver to the young viewers?
"Do you want to see your child wasting time on the ball? Do you want to see your child diving and play-acting? That's the real question. But my job is to referee."

Seems like Nic White did
“Nic White came after the last game on Saturday night with two beers in the changing room. He came to talk to me, and I appreciate what he told me in his name, and in the name of the Australia team.
"I will not say publicly what our discussion was but I appreciate what he did that night in Auckland.

But let's think about the real victim here
Poor old Darcy misses two tests ...Have seen a few reactionary posts on the socials calling for a Swain to be banned for 9 months
Regardless of the punishment in this case being too short, that's a slippery slope. Does that mean any red cards where a player is not out of the game injured means no ban?
(Yes I'm being facetious)

It means that acts of thuggery like this should get special attention.

I think that is something that needs looking at - particularly where lower level games are used to blunt the suspension.
Banning a player for 9 months over puts it somewhere near match official abuse.
Will players throwing a punch deemed to be Grub level?
