Was it out of a ruck? You cant dive on a ball within 1m.

Had a look and looks more like he had his hand between his legs. The still captures initial contact which opens up mitigation as it was shoulder on shoulder. There was definitely head contact when you view later frames. Wasn’t suggesting it was a legal tackle and would have though YC was the...

The picture at start of this article in pretty clear was not direct to head so that’s enough mitigation to avoid handing out red card. https://www.sportingnews.com/au/rugby/news/watch-insane-wallabies-send-off-after-four-minutes-called-absolute-travesty/17yp5t4e19b8z1wttdwbbk76oy Kiwi refs...

These these are the mitigations. Line of sight - clear so nothing here • Sudden and significant drop or movement - yes the ball carrier reduced height but not suddenly and was not especially or unexpectedly low • Clear attempt to change height - no corresponding adjustment by tackler • Level...

The new guidelines are a mess but both reds were reckless due to coming in high at high speed. You go for that zone just below shoulders you will spend plenty of time on the sideline due to low margin of error. Pone’s was the more reckless.

Not just talent but since returning has show real fight and commitment. Contribution starts on defence and his attack is icing. We should.apend some of our spare budget retaining him.

Find it strange / sus Stan avoid showing the most obviously hands in ruck I have seen this year for the turn over leading up to the try.

Man why do we have Nic Berry again. Haven't we suffered enough? I am grateful it's not Damon though.

The wow made me think of Doge. https://imgflip.com/i/56svmf

Except for the small Sydney market who like to back winners. Tahs look so much better with few key players and the two best refs in SRAU for these last two games. Greatest outrage was giving the small Force bogan #15 motm.

New guidelines. A lot more grey for mine. https://rugbyreferee.net/2021/03/11/new-head-contact-process-unveiled-by-world-rugby/

Straw that broke camels back. Nothing OK about super rugby this year from a NSW pov and I don’t feel like paying to watch it anymore. If I am feeling masochistic the remaining Tahs games this cycle are on FTA. And I barely glance at league outside SOO and mauls are fine when actually refereed...

So much wrong with that collapse. Cancelled sport from Stan account in disgust at half time at that call, despite improved Tahs effort. Checked Twitter, Laurie rabbiting on about no brumbies still attached, didn’t leave maul intentionally. First thought was methinks milady doth protest...

Surely rekick as they moved early?

if any team should be getting the ABs style free ride it’s the Tahs! Call it contextual refereeing: 1. Tahs are super weak. 2. Almost 50% of players, revenue etc come from their base. 3. We have a two year window to get the game going again that requires strong interest in NSW. The only quick...

Brumbies 2 diving at Tahs legs to drop maul off line out should have been penalty try. AR on that side total failure. Edit: images... https://ibb.co/8X2gjXr https://ibb.co/7QGr9vX

yeah that’s fine but he started angled before the set and went from there. None of what you mentioned re dropped binds or shearing off happened. Spider cam is great for showing angles. https://ibb.co/CnXPgKv https://ibb.co/qdHJC57

Nah we will take everyone else down with us. NZ desire to cut us to 3 looking more likely. Not next year but come next broadcast cycle we cut two two teams and Tahs top up with half their squads, other half go o/s. RA need to intervene eg use top ups to direct non-qld players to Tahs till...

Actually it is illegal to not scrum straight, especially angling from setup. This will blow up on him in a test match or final down the track.

You don’t deserve one.
