Springboks vs All Blacks 2

@BerniesCorner but it is in the law book (as is being repeated often). Jordie ripped the ball (I think he moved towards the ball more in hope to try and hold it up as Bongi reached, but ripped is pushing it), and Bongi then landed on it.
For me, I think Bongi lost control and it was a fortuitous try. Tell me what the reaction would have been if that try went the other way 😂

@stodders bok fans would’ve gone full Jaco Johan. Armbands. Pacts.
Rassie would’ve smiled though because the boks got away with only 5 points and not the seven from the penalty try and yellow card for the third maul penalty in a row that was looming.

The ball actually went backwards towards Bongi and hit Bongi in the face while he was or wasn't holding it after the JB contact.
I've done the forensic F5 and repeat on this.
The ball then drops down and moves forward. -
@BerniesCorner off the face isn’t a knock on, no?

Biggest game for this year
Biggest game ever for Razor
Biggest game ever for Sititi
Biggest game ever for Ratima -

What if Bongi is holding the ball at the time it goes forward off his face .
I'm not sure what the ruling is -
@BerniesCorner knock on provided the ball travels forward out of his hand/grasp.
-
Well the ball went forward off Bongi's face and almost certainly a part of the hand was touching the ball at the same time
It's confirmed ABs screwed over -
You confirming it!
-
It should have been reviewed
I felt sick Sunday -
@BerniesCorner feel better. It wasn’t plain and obvious. So hard to overturn. Good chance Jordie knocked it on so you’d be facing a bok 5m scrum. And that’s before you get to the boks seeming to have penalty advantage and a likely yellow card for repeated maul penalties.
-
You can't make the assumption JB knocked it forward. After contact Bongi's elbow flexes and Bong's hand with ball moves towards Bongi's face
-
@BerniesCorner not making any assumptions. But in a very unclear situation that seems the most likely initial infraction.
Then in descending order with not much in any of them based on the available footage: Bongi knock on, Bongi drop straight down, Bongi no knock on off head.
But again, none of it’s clear or convincing, and anyway the try saved you from facing whatever was on the other side of the advantage Brace called before awarding the try.

To me the first and major point is why it was not reviewed by an unsighted ref and mute or blind assistants...

@nostrildamus for sure. Also can’t understand why SFM wasn’t allowed a second conversion attempt with ABs and physios not retiring behind tryline and advancing before SFM addressed the ball.

I hope Sititi crushes it but geez poor bloke thrown into the fire in an unfamiliar position.
@Bovidae can confirm, but I’m sure he’s never even played 6 at super level. He’s a 8 who can play 7, they cant plan to throw him in there like that.
