Super Rugby AU Round 10 - Rebels v Force, 3.00pm AEST Sat 5th September

[molman]

its only an obstruction when the player completely tackles the wrong player, mcgregor eventually knew he made a mistake and tackled the right player and Pinkus was already not in the line of sight, not an obstruction..if mcgregor had committed to tackling pinkus, it was an obstruction, but he didn't , he eventually tackled the right one so not seen as obstruction.

No. The law is;

A player must not intentionally prevent an opponent from tackling or attempting to tackle the ball-carrier.

Mcgregor's looking to start to tackle Pincus as he came across is immaterial and not a factor of the law.

Pincus had an impact on Mcgregor's ability to tackle hence it is an obstruction. People rile because it likely wouldn't have had an impact in reality (ie. Orr would have gone over you'd expect), but teams have own the consequences when they are having these plays that have players running dummy lines right at or into the space between defenders.

Looked truck and trailer to me.

 

[Dctarget]

He bound on Uelese? not the maul?

 

[Warpath]

one of the worstreferees ever..

 

[Wilson]

Not sure about this one, but Ready has been making a bloody good case for inclusion in the wallabies squad the last few weeks

 

[Equalizer]

Yes.....a converted try. LETS GO FORCE!

 

[Dctarget]

Great milking by Hodge.

 

[Warpath]

2020 that will end well.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Game on - part of me wants Force to win their first game and part of me wants Rebels to win to get into their first finals.

This is cracker of a decider game for the finals turning out to be

Very magnanimous of you as a 'Tahs fan.

 

[Dctarget]

This would be very typical of Isi if he's held up.

Odd one. They talked through the obvious issues whether you agree with them. Be interesting to see some refs chew over that one.


 

[Warpath]

referee can't deny this try now

 

[Dctarget]

That will be tough if penalty try and Lance goes for 10.

 

[molman]

Hmm... looks short not held up.

 

[Warpath]

on the line

 

[Dctarget]

Fuck me Rebels, why do you do this to me.

 

[Warpath]

[Slim 293]

[Warpath]
