As with pavlova and Phar Lap, it's just another case of an Aussie trying to steal the work of a salt-of-the-earth Kiwi. You guys can keep Russell Crowe, though.

Well mate show me the law that says you can interfere with players behind the play, I really am curious to see it. Myself I would of probably given the try, but then I just a keyboard warrior and not a ref. Mind you I probably would of given Dagg's disallowed one at end of game so......

Tbh I'm more pissed off with DHP. What was the point of that? Your (actual) winger (i.e. the fast guy) is flying off with no one in front of him. If Savea was actually going to catch up to Speight then DHP should have been ready in support for the offload and certain try.
Stupid stuff from DHP.

10.1 Obstruction
STRUCTION
(a) Charging or pushing. When a player and an opponent are running for the ball, either
player must not charge or push the other except shoulder-to-shoulder.
Sanction: Penalty kick
(b) Running in front of a ball carrier. A player must not intentionally move or stand in front of
a team-mate carrying the ball thereby preventing opponents from tackling the current ball
carrier or the opportunity to tackle potential ball carriers when they gain possession.
Sanction: Penalty kick
(c) Blocking the tackler. A player must not intentionally move or stand in a position that
prevents an opponent from tackling a ball carrier.
Sanction: Penalty kick
(d) Blocking the ball. A player must not intentionally move or stand in a position that prevents
an opponent from playing the ball.
Sanction: Penalty kick
(e) Ball carrier running into team-mate. A player carrying the ball must not intentionally run
into team-mates in front of that player.
Sanction: Penalty kick
So which one is it?
Paragraph (d) looks the most prospective, but actually preventing the player from tackling etc is the test, yes? Not taking an action that might have prevented the player, had the player been in a position to make the tackle.

The TMO tried his best for that one at the end but Owens had the presence of mind to ignore him. What is fucking bullshit is Cruden taking the kick so Owens couldn't even think about going to the TMO. There's a guilty admission if I have ever seen one.

] pretty sure you can run any line you want in support of the ball carrier. I recall mccaw doing exactly the same thing a couple years back and the kiwis on here lecturing us on exactly that.

Shit dan, no one is saying you shouldn't have won, and by a margin. What everyone is pissed off about is that we weren't given a fair competition. We were in the game and then unjustifiably taken out of it.
Who said Barrett was the main difference???

No it's not, it is just clever rugby. The Darkness are the masters at that, always have been.

Perhaps tellingly here, as a kiwi fan, I'm not even interested in the 'laws'. To me it was just a bollocks decision. That sort of 'nudge', it barely registered as a nudge, happens ALL THE TIME behind play. Savea was too far back to make a tackle. It just stank.
Reminds me of a couple of the tries the Highlanders scored against the Reds this year that were called back for completely irrelevant stuff, which we lost by 1 point, which would have had has on top of the table winning another championship. But I digress.

It's not clever. It's just abusing the rules and creating an unfair playing field. Owens never once went to the TMO for a darkness try, Wallabies- try scored, referee automatically goes to TMO

Except he was never even going to touch him. How can you block a player from making a tackle he can't possibly take. Jesus it's so blatantly wrong its hurting my brain.

That shit happens on every fucking play. It also doesn't appear to be against the laws of the game. it's nothing short of a massive howler to turn the try around. And if i were cheika/pulver id be making a massive noise about it at every opportunity. Fuck all this 'swings and roundabouts' nonsense, they should be rocking the boat like its going out of fashion.
The ABs were a better side but for goodness' sake, can they (the refs) not go out of their way to fuck the game up?

Yes, it is clever. Sorry, mate, if we were a bit cleverer, as well as a bit tougher, faster, and more skilled, we might have a chance of beating them. Otherwise, forget about it. Or blame the match officials. Take your choice.

Mate he's not a winger.
Speights no try showed the importance of pace on the wing.
DHP would have been run down by savea anyway.
It's no coincidence the game we came closest to the ABs was the game where most players played in their usual positions.
Time to stop shoehorning players into the team out of position.
He competes at FB or rides the pines. After hodges game tonight DHP would get my nod if folau moved in closer. But hodge does have a bigger boot and has played a lot of FB as well. He'd be in the mix.

Died in the UK. They can have him. We'll call it recompense for their A) shipping of Victoria's miscreants to Australia; and B) originally having NZ as a part of NSW.

Not blaming the match officials, just want to the shitty officiating out of the game which seems to decide crucial moments in matches these days
