Maybe they should have a guy on a loudspeaker. He can count down from ten. Could even have it in Maori and also sign language.

Would be an improvement on Sweet Caroline

I'd prefer it if there wasn't a visible shot clock. The kickers have plenty of time
Nic Gill was partially to blame as he took far too long getting the tee to DMac.
Back in my day we were heeling the dirt and placing the ball right on the turf. No need for this technology

Rip the boot off and kick it with the socked foot šŖ

The 2024 Crusaders pack!??Consistently?!?
Jeepers. The Cantabs made less fuss about how good their team was after seven years. You guys are going to be unbearable if you win any more championships.
Totally unfair. Some of us have been insufferable even during the (many) bad years!
We get that your new coach is very good, and has a better game plan than the others. That doesn't suddenly mean all your players are superstars.
This is true. But the main point of my post was it was unfair to deride Hoskin's level of physicality given a. the year he had and b. how he didn't get the chance to show his level of physicality on Saturday. And I guess I risked a provincial shitfight by pointing out the level of the Crusaders' pack but give a thought for Sotutu and A Ioane: they play wide and loose and get pilloried. They play tight, hard and consistently and it must be due to the coach. Can't win, don't try!

One consequence of a visible shot clock would be unruly and uncouth crowds counting down on every attempt. The English wouldnāt know what to do with themselves!
That's a good point. I can see that becoming a thing. It'll be more fun than booing or whistling.

Genuinely surprised at the aversion to a visible shot clock. If we are worried about time wasting then just shorten the time on the clock. Why wouldnāt we want a single source of truth, visible to all parties? I used to kick, and having a ref in my ear telling me ā20 secondsā then ā10 secondsā sounds bloody annoying.
Slightly OT: but Iāve been wanting the NBA to have a shot clock for free throws. The whole leave it in the hands of the ref is a bit of a farce because none of the superstars ever get called.
My only issue is that the introduction of a visible clock should only come with a shortening of the allotted time to take the kick. Itās already too long.

Seems like good crowd entertainment, and would remove any referee ambiguity, I really can't see any reason not to have it. Kicker does not have to look at it if they don't want to.
Kickers often use the entire time as it is, so I can't see how they could waste more time. Game clock should probably be stopped anyway. -

A small bucket of sand was a major evolutionary advancement.
They reckon Don Clarke use to do toe hackers with bare feet from half way using a leather ball. -

Shot clock = much ado about nothing.
Dmac will unlikely get close to missing one like that again...shot clock or not.

Interestingly in this case the ref was correct in calling it took too long (1 min 9 secs) and also wrong in that he called 10 seconds, then blew the whistle after 8. That's why you need a shot clock. But IMO 45 seconds is more than enough, 30 for a penalty. Let's get on with it!
Referee Amushekeli awarded the penalty and stood the mark at 77:08 on the match clock. McKenzie indicated he would kick for goal and the referee signalled that a shot would be taken at 77:22. At 77:59 the referee can be heard to say ā20 secondsā. At 78:11 he says āten secondsā. Finally at 78:19, eight seconds after he called ten seconds, with McKenzie about to start his run-up, Amushekeli blew his whistle and called a scrum.

I think the team needs to be careful when they say they going for goal too, and tee person needs to be awake. They should make sure tee is pretty close before saying we taking kick I think. Same as conversion, if a team scores a try and stands up, if I was ooposition I would 'accidently' kick the ball further away, and try scorers are going to have to learn no excited throwing the ball away etc.

from when?
From signalling the shot?
From getting the tee?A minute from the penalty being awarded is not much time if the tee doens't get out quickly - if you want to have a chat about whether to kick for touch or goal, you'll be in trouble.
I'd have no issues with a minute from signalling intent - and it's up to the teams to get tees onto the field (or have one on each side to save 70 m of running!

Worth noting that the clock actually stopped when it had hit time up, so while technically it said 78:19, it had definitely been 10 seconds.

No complaints re shot clock but I think we can expect a few fans chanting it down once in to the final 10, particular for opposition players.
Or having a bit of fun with it by starting a 10 countdown when there is still 20 seconds to go and then letting out a yell to try and throw would be kickers off if they are still trying their approach.

Hah that would get some panic going.
