Savea runs like a brick outhouse with rockets for afterburners. He bumps good tacklers off at will. He was not taken out, he took a dive because he knew he was well beaten.Watching it live - Savea's been taken out, they've gotta go upstairs for that.
The try reversal was a massive game changer. It put the ABs back into familiar territory - in the lead, waiting to pounce on "catch-up rugby" mistakes from the opposition.
For the wallabies, despite the best efforts of players and captain, the effect would be to incite stupid reactions or to drop intensity.
I look forward to multiple penalties in all future test matches when similar 'take outs" occur in all aspects of the game. Great for the game!
