he penalty which Barnes then said sorry, that wasn’t actually a penalty. That 3 points made a difference. The TMO gets involved and changes calls all the time, so why can’t a ref change his call in this instance, when he’s clearly fucked up.
Yeah this is the only reffing thing that really annoys me
Yeah agree, that's the winning of the game and it was a mistake (no malice he just fucked up like all humans do on occasion) - why can't Barnes just say "I fucked up, lets have a Bok scrum here as a restart"?
-
ok time to flush the dunny, thank the old timers for their splendid service, and move on.
And congrats again to the Boks for winning a point in a row 3 times. Talk about dedication to the mission. -

That final play sort of summed it up
DMac somehow breaks the field open. Savea (who was exhausted) wasn't clean, and nor was ALB.I may be alone on this but I would have played DMac a lot earlier.
No, it was clear that the game was crying out for his skill set
If I was to be super critical of the coaches, there was a window with 10 or 11 minutes to go where I thought DMac on for Barrett and the game might open up for us. In hindsight and with the 2nd Boks YC, it probably would’ve.
Beaudy was pretty awful, under the high ball, kicking, decisions etc. I would have put DMac back there at half time
He just went to pieces didn't he? We were lucky he didn't take us out of the running altogether

Cane fronted up at the press anyway despite being gutted. Good man.

Frizzell was carded for falling over
That's the one we were really dudded on, I think.
"A rugby collision", O'Keefe said - and that's basically what this was. They said as much when they didn't upgrade it. And handed the Boks the early momentum.
I didn’t know the law / focus area of not allowing people to fall on exposed knees etc - ITV had the Irish ref on call who immediately called it as an issue, Barnes then reffed it exactly as he said he should. He was actually concerned it would be red. The fact we didn’t know about it doesn’t mean it wasn’t reffed correctly
Which law?
If he'd done it intentionally, it would have been red. Accidentally falling on someone is an accident.
20d, and intentionally is not mentioned in that law
Dangerous play in a ruck or maul.
A player may lever the jackler out of the contest at the ruck but must not drop their weight onto them or target the lower limbs.
"Target" is the operative word.

They have hardly used him at all ,
In the previous games I assumed the thinking is , we are ahead and we aren’t crying out for what he brings,
This game was a different set of circumstances, we were behind and we needed a spark

A Foster first then. He coached the only player to score in two RWC finals 😀

Yeah - look it it in real time. It's purely accidental in my view and a poor call.

Which is why it stayed as a YC
Penalised for the neck roll
YC for dropping his weight on the jackaler
YC because it wasn’t deliberate and ‘targeted’ -
@Nepia said in RWC Final: All Blacks v Springboks:
I kind of wish that I wasn't reminded of Barnes admitting the penalty wasn't a penalty as I was a fairly contented (as contented as you can be) but now I'm starting to get angry about it.
All he had to do was keep his mouth shut!

Did any of the players who were the "victim" of those head clashes go off for a HIA?
I don't believe so. No doubt the would have been tactical subs though, not HIA.

That bit is irritating; if it is so dangerous, them the victim should get seen to off the field.
Makes a 7-1 bench a bit of a risk 😜
