Im sending this list of queeries to the refereeing panels/SanzarIRB etc as a please explain on Bryce Lawrences performance.
1. 4:40 – ball coming of Red 8 head called a knock on.
2. 5:20 – scrum penalty against reds. Black 3’s head popped up and penalty went against the reds.
3. 6:00 – Black knock on deemed backwards when it clearly went forward
4. 6:32 – Red 5 penalised for not rolling away. Once he had made the tackle, the ball was out no more than a second later so he obviously moved quick enough. Was one of the crusaders fastest breakdowns in the match. – 3 points to black as a result
5. 12:37 – penalty against red 11 for holding on. He couldn’t have place it any quicker.
6. 14:53 – Black scrum. Black 1 hand on the ground. No penalty awarded to the reds.
7. 16:33 – black scrum. Again Black 1 hand on the ground. No penalty awarded
8. 18:40 – penalty against red for offside. Red 11 was behind red 15 when he kicked, he was the chaser and tackler, all other reds players were retiring.
9. Scrum penalty against reds. Black 3’s head popped up first. Red 1 was penalised for bad angle. Ball was already out before red 1 bored in. Scrum was over – 3 point resulted
10. 23:08 –penalty against red 4 for obstruction. He had no influence on the tackle, and the tackle was made.
11. 27:38 – black 1 hand on the ground in scrum. No penalty given to reds.
12. 31:06 – black 15 knocked on but should have been a penalty to reds (instead of a scrum) for accidental offside by black 10 for picking up the ball.
13. 32:19 – black 1 hand on the ground at scrum. No penalty awarded to the reds.
14. 32:22 : black 9 infront of the ball at scrum. No penalty given to the reds. Ball was still in scrum and Ellis was behind red 8.
15. 38:27 – Black 11 dangerous clear out using shoulder only. Red 10 was penalised for the same thing earlier in the match and rightly so but no consistency.
16. 35:09 – black 8 at the back of ruck making no attempt to roll away. No penalty awarded to reds.
17. 39:53 – black one with hand on ground during scrum. No penalty given to reds. Actually penalty gone the other way.
18. 44:47 – black 9 knock on not seen (refer to replay)
19. 45:05 – red 5 penalised for offside. His feet were behind the try line. Direct result 3 points to black.
20. 47:15 – forward pass by red. No scrum awarded to crusaders.
21. 47:31 – reds penalised for being offside. They were all behind the last feet. (refer to tv at 47:27 to see all players onside.
22. 49:10 – black awarded a penalty. No reason given by Bryce Lawrencethat I heard but I could not see one infringement from any reds player.
23. 50:37 – scrum penalty awarded to the crusaders. Black 2 popped his head up before red. Also in the replay showing other side of the scrum, black 1 with hand on ground. Penalty went wrong way.
24. 52:14 – red 1 put hand on the ground during scrum. No penalty awarded to the crusaders.
25. 52:19 – black 19 changing running angle to interfere red 7 from defending. Not penalised. IS an intentional professional foul and can be awarded a yellow card also.
26. 52:56 – Scrum awarded to black for red 2 not throwing in strait at lineout. It was strait. Refer to lineout at 65:32 and 68:39 being judged strait. Was more crooked by black 2 but judged to be strait.
27. 57:20 – penalty awarded to reds for black not releaseing, but red 12 was not supporting his own body weight as he pilfered. Penalty should have gone the other way.
28. 58:39 – penalty against reds. Red 12 was in fact the tackler and was within his rights.
29. 55:24 – black knock on missed.
30. 55:25 – lineout awarded to black for reds taking it into touch. He did not go out as my slow motion replay showed me.
31. 55:59 – black forward pass missed right in front of referee.
32. 61:64: blatant knock on in front of referee by black 19 now given. His explaination is that the ball comes off the knee. Would be inconsequential if it came of his knee if he dropped the ball. Not sure why he used that as an excuse as it holds no bearing to the fact he dropped it.
33. 62:22 – reds dominant at scrum. Front row for black crumbling and not taking the weight. No penalty awarded to reds. 64:43 – black 19 not supporting his weight when he pilfers the ball. No penalty awarded to the reds.
34. Free kick awarded to black for too slow at lineout time. From the point of a lineout being formed, there were two occasions where black took longer to throw in and no free kick was awarded to reds. Refer to lineout at 5:50 and 55:56
35. 69:09 – Black 19 not releasing when tackled. Red 7 trying to pilfer. No penalty given to reds.
36. Textbook pilfer executed by red 7. Red 7 supporting own weight, was the tackler so was allowed to be standing where he was. Ruck was not formed prior to Gill getting his hands on the ball, player not releasing. Penalty awarder to black. Should have been awarded to red. 3 points resulting from the decision and the match and 4 competition points.
