2012 Rugby Championship Round 6 Game 1 South Africa vs New Zealand- 6 Oct

[AngrySeahorse]

About to say two converted tries make this probably out of reach but now that Dagg is sent off SA have a shot.

 

[Alex]

Sorry but that ball was behind the last ankle - Dagg was entirely within his rights

 

[badabing59]

Dagg gone for a quick cuppa. great defense from AB's

 

[ChargerWA]

Not to mention the horrific forward pass before that.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

^^^ Marginal. I thought he jumped the gun. Not much in it either way.

Sorry but that ball was behind the last ankle - Dagg was entirely within his rights

My thoughts exactly. The only thing I could think of is if he was not behind the last feet (if a ruck had formed) but I did not think a ruck had formed at that time so it should have been ok.

 

[Tordah]

the Boks are getting away with so many forward passes, it's a joke

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Saffer blew that attack there. Should have tried to take it wide while #15 was in the bin.

 

[ChargerWA]

Holding on??? No Tackle release required according to Rolland.

 

[ChargerWA]

As a neutral, Rolland is destroying the spectacle of the breakdown.

 

[badabing59]

AB's cheque has cleared. penalties favouring AB's now

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Was that a blood bin for messum? He is back on and Sir Richie is off? Remember Darkness, Rolland can count to sept/seven but needs to check with M Poite if huit has been reached.

 

[ChargerWA]

Carter kicks a penatly. 32 - 16 now.

 

[Dam0]

I don't think you are getting smashed. The gulf in class between these two sides is immense. Sure it has been levalised by some extraordinary decisions but when the ball is actually in play there is only one team in it.

Up front we are. We have been given a towelling at most breakdowns. Refereeing has reflected that fact as it usually does, rightly or wrongly.

I don't think it has been all that bad from Rolland.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

As a neutral, Rolland is destroying the spectacle of the breakdown.

In the last month, I have noticed some changes in emphasis on refereeing the breakdown, not just at International level but local level as well. Might have to talk to my active referree buddies.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Reid! Better not be hurt - you know this kind of crap happens when a forward runs off the wing!

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Blood bin to McCaw. Sir Richie returns bandaged up.

 

[ChargerWA]

Woodcock should have penalised the last two scrums. Straight down both times.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

74:41 gone NZL 32, SAF 4. 15 NZL in Bin

4 Handling errors to AB.

13 - 3 penalties in SAF favour.

Bokke miss 12 tackles out of 45

edit,
Dagg returns from Bin. Carter off - Cruden on. 76:50

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Dagg is back. Carter off Cruden on.
