I To the extent of having a "general understanding" at least.

Sounds like you're in the industry. Would Wayne Smith have done it? If so, then I'm ok with it.

There is absolutely no question that Eddie Jones is to blame, I'm just questioning the timing of the reporting what impact it may have had.

How about the day after the game? Wasn't it an exclusive? No one else reported it. Has he ever written anything positive about rugby?

Did he, or did league just not come knocking? My understanding is that he wasn't in the junior rep teams, either league or Union, and first major break was Aust under 20's. Happy to be corrected, because it influences the second part of my comment, yet to come.

Deans is quoted as saying, just in the last month, "they can ring, but my phones not turned on.' Got that first hand from the person he said it to.

Will Skelton. He's got an enormous boot on him.

BR's proposition, above, is that in the Hurricanes game Tom Wright wasn't penalised for the no arms tackle on the hooker or for throwing the ball away when tackled into touch. As a result they no influence on the game and so we shouldn't be concerned by it. Qwerty51 is merely saying that...

a New Zealander talking about cynical play, fantastic, at least you'll know what you're talking about.

Seems a common thing that we turned off after the cards, so did I. I was actually enjoying it up to that stage. Don't know how the knock down was a yellow. Seemed to go back to me and it's not like it was a try scoring opportunity they were still a long way out and lots of defenders around...

Oh well, I'm sure you've made the right choice.

Well, I was reading today that Jeff Bezos ex, Mackenzie, has just divorced her replacement husband. I'm sure she's after another and still has billions to give away. Wait till she hears about decline in the health of the Wallabies, I'm sure she'll stump up, but someones got to take one for team.

Yes, you are probably right, if not definitely right, but he was clearly going to make a very poor decision if that TMO didn't come into play. I'm no fan of TMO's, but this is a time when they got it right.

I want to agree with you because the less stoppages for the obvious the better. It serves no ones interests to watch multiple replays of the same thing. My concern, however, is situations like the Slipper tackle on Retallick. The Ref had his hand in his pocket before the replay even came on...

yep, they've got a proud history of it.

Unlike in the amateur days where guys like Loe made a living out of it. Apparently so well respected he became a tv pundit, incredible.

No, it just means he's been cited. The evidence will determine the rest. Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong. Keep your powder dry, you can gloat later.

But in Australia we do care. We have to get our own market in place before we start taking over the world, and we are a loooooooooooooooooooong off that. in terms of the ample warnings, really? Its a nonsense argument. Foley could have taken an hour to kick it, but the result would still...

I don't expect it to be treated differently than anywhere else in the world, but as far as I'm aware, and no one else has offered an example of a similar happening elsewhere, it hasn't happened anywhere else. You live in an environment of certainty that even if it didn't happen this time...
