Wallabies vs Springboks 2
-
I genuinely ended up not being a neutral watching that test. When?
As soon as non contesting scrums were called. I understand why it was etc and player safety is paramount, just I abhor it, and almost whole second half was a waste of time in my opinion.
The Wallabies did not use the law , and I not saying they did anything worng, but it's a law that I can see be taken advantage of, scrum getting done? Go the HIA route and you don't lose much. You can have 3 front rowers break their legs, and you lose a player for non contesting, say it's HIA and no problem seems wrong to me.
I see to often in games where a player will go down with leg injuries that means they should be replaced etc, as they leave field medic will tap head for HIA and if can be strapped up, can comeback on.
Ok my rant for this Sunday. -

@SidBarret well Sascha played well enough. The rainy weather should suit the Bishopper. The knock wasn't great.
There were quite a few errors from him. But he is young and his tactical kicking was very good.

@SidBarret said in Wallabies vs Springboks 2:
@KiwiMurph oh I think I need to be clearer.
The on field call seemed to be that the Wallabies lost two loose heads to HIAs. The first we heard of the blood injury was from the post game presser.
I'm very sure it will not be investigated, but I'd love to hear what was said to the fourth official on all the subs.
I agree I would like to hear as well.
I think there is a whole bunch of confusion.
Wallabies did have 2 HIAs (both bench props).
At one stage they played on with 14 men only to return to 15 men at the next scrum.
Without knowing what happened to go around calling Schmidt a gutless pos and a cheat who needs a 6 month ban is unfair.
-
@KiwiMurph nah.. Bell had a nick above the eye. Players play with a lot worse, but even if they have to get treatment, Bell would have been back if Shmidt wasn't a cheating fuck.
Nah mate he is proper little bitch. Good for him to save his team from a bigger reaming at home (not sure it made a difference on scoreboard).

Yeah, slowing the game down, and stealing other countries' coaches is not on, is it!
-
@SidBarret we'll have to agree to disagree.
Bell is the Wallabies 2nd best forward beside Valetini
They are absolutely worse with him not out there.
-
I didn't watch closely but from what I saw the Wallabies were comfortably winning their scrums. They were getting the ball out quick before the Springboks got shove on and the starting Springbok tight five was nothing special in terms of a scrum from what I saw.
Coaches can't overrule HIA assessments from the grounds medical staff.

I think it's self hate, isn't it? When you're wanting a coach that flouts the rules and doesn't apply the spirit of the game to be thrown out, you're going to make springbok fans worry they're going to lose Rassie.
No bok hate from me.

@SidBarret said in Wallabies vs Springboks 2:
Schmidt just admitted he cheated in the post match pressure. He has to be gone for 6 months at fucken least
Ban Schmidt for life (except coaching the ABs)
And the Boks to forfeit the World Cup for Rassie calling two fake HIAs in the French quarter to give his players a nice breather.
Sound good.

Too funny, self hate? Haha! Nah, when posters make silly comments about the game dying off because of the style of the winning team it can only mean one thing. And your mental gymnastics are amusing too, bones.

As are those of someone who has a big wah about cheating and the spirit of the game, yet has not raised a peep about the most controversial coach in international rugby. I bow down.

Can't believe I missed an opportunity to say some of my best friends are African.

What a fucking day. I wake up to... Springbok fan(s) complaining about a coach (maybe) gaming the substitution rules!!???
I never believed I'd see the day. Fucking magic.
No "bok hate" here - just loving the Raygun-level self-delusion of SOME, presumably not all or even (hopefully?) most, of the fans. "Ban him for 6 months". Fuck a duck. Chef's-kiss.
Well done you crazy diamond, you've made my day. -

Mate no way do I think Wallabies cheated and used HIA rules, but is easiest rule to flout. No medical staff is going to send a player back on that says he feeling a bit dizzy, as soon as that happens he is off.
