This is the most awful part of the game...there is obstruction at every bloody maul

Are they going to strike out tries for France, South Africa and Ireland in the same circumstances? I suspect not.

[Victor Meldrew]

OK, it's only Namibia, but Roigard is so much crisper than Christie.

Bloody TMO. Have no words.

Technically correct....but is this the sport we want?

Lineout mauls refereed fairly for both attacking and defending sides?

Absolutely. 15 years too late.

[Steve]

The two Namibian lads were ahead of their jumper in the very next line out. Laughable.

[taniwharugby]

@chimoaus awful angle of his foot....

Yes

You should be running them off their feet

[sparky]

Foster needs to get stuck into the TMO in the press conference after this game. He won’t though. Too nice to be a successful international Rugby coach.

You could dam near argue that 95% of mauls have that sort of obstruction or players joining (sliding) in front of the ball carrier.....

[taniwharugby]

@Mattasaurus very rare pinging the attacking side for that.

@chimoaus Haha, no, I avoid that one. Some people just bring their grumpiness to every thread.

It’s a bunch of blokes aged 40 plus on an internet forum. What do you expect ?

95% is generously low

Too nice? It's called not being a dickhead. I don't want any AB coach acting like Rassie or Comical Eddie.

Im 38 you cheeky bastid.

@sparky said in RWC Week 2: All Blacks v Namibia:

Try. Sami T.

A try that wasn’t.

[Steven Harris]

@taniwharugby makes you wonder if Nambia had scored the same sort of maul try if the same sort of spanish inquisition from the officials would have happened, probably not ..!

[canefan]

That non try demonstrates everything that is wrong with rugby right now. Technically correct, rarely given, game flow shot
