I'm not talking about the penalty try.......
I'm talking about the dumb ruck infringement Habana gave away to put them out of the match.......
He's a serial offender when it comes to dumb penalties.........
And then he goes and throws a quick lineout to the Rebels..... geez.........

Why should he be given the benefit of being allowed to knock the ball?

Vision is inconclusive, assume no infringement/score has occurred.

Your talking about the ruck where all the Rebel player was lying on the ground and BEKKER simply walked over?

If you have a tv and latest technology that can see the hair up a props nose grow then there is no excuse

Not if there is someone standing in the way. The video ref sees the same footage we do. I didn't see any clear footage showing the knock on. Did you? (as in did he actually see an angle showing Higginbotham's hand on the ball).
I agree with you it probably was, but as far as I understand unless there is conclusive (ie a shot from the other side) than the video ref can't rule.
The penalty try was harsh - but if you pull a guy back that close to the try line with no-one (at the time) in front of him, you are rolling the dice. I actually agree with the video ref that he would have got there, but I was still surprised he gave it.

Following on nicely from the bias shown against the Chiefs a few weeks ago.
Regardless, well done Rebels.

A penalty try occurred when there is no doubt a try would of been scored. Habana could of fit there there for a penalty try should not be awarded. If it was only Phipps and the man pulling him back then it is fair enough.

That should've been a penalty at the most. I would have been pretty sour if we lost, not sure if you fellas caught the jeers through the tv but when Pieterson converted Bekker's try he shifted the footy a generous metre in from touch.
Iffy calls all night from the main ref against both teams but Rebels certainly got the rub of the green when it counted.
There're the makings of a solid squad being assembled down here in Melbourne. Bring on the Tahs!

It's not a matter of doubt, it's the referee's opinion of a likely outcome.
Phipps was held back when he was potentially one out with Habana and the line. He was thus intentionally denied a fair shot at a try.
Doing my best to remove all bias - which is hard because I'm pretty pumped at the moment - as a referee, I would have made the same call.
And to be fair, they're always going to give benefit of the doubt to the attacking team.
If we had to wait for the referee to clear all doubt that Phipps would have beaten Habana, we'd have been there all night.
