If it was common law at least you'd have a vague hope of guessing what the ref was gunna whip out next.

Yep. BTW, France doesn't even have common law - well as I understand it. Isn't their system entirely civil law?

It was smart play by the All Blacks. They correctly predicted that we would rush to the tackle to try and prevent them competing for the ball and instead made absolutely no attempt to contest so our cleanout players had no one to bind with and just fell on the tackled player and were quite reasonably called for sealing off.
Interesting BH. Haven't seen a replay yet, but my impression was that Fa'umasili was the player penalised but he was definitely on his feet when the ruck/tackle mess disbanded. Was he ever off his feet there?

Yeah - civil law is more prescriptive where as common law is more about building law via interpretation and precedent over time. They aren't strictly bound to precedent as I understand it, but they still kind of are? It is a bit odd.

There has been some (admittedly minor) chat about being down to our 3rd Captain and the inappropriateness of White as Wallaby captain. I might agree with that under normal circumstances.

This time, with the debacle from the ref, I can honestly not think of a better bloke to be Wallaby captain right then. "Who's the captain?" [willfull hope to be rid of White] "I am" [ref rolls eyes and settles for a diatribe he can't escape]. <Tell him what you really think Jake!>

Well done that captain.,
