I know plenty of focus on White's kick with 90 seconds to go & deservedly so.
But only caught one replay of this incident at the match so can anyone clarify if there was a massive knock on from the AB's in the restart contest that led directly to them levelling at 7 all?
And if so, what was Joubert fucking looking at?
As Joubert was moving towards the mark, no doubt the Wallabies thought he was going to go to the correct spot and weren't aware when he let Smith take a mark some 10m off the real one. In fact, you can see Horwill moving to his right.
Yeah that replay is inconclusive, particularly for the poor bloody ref!
Its done with. Let it go.
So it was jouberts faut for marking the wrong spot?Most losses are worse than draws. I think it has something to do with the final score.
Smith took it from exactly where every ref usually wants it taken from. Where the ref actually marks it. Great vision by Smith and good patience. He could see the try was on immediately but he didn't rush it like you usually see players do and they don't take the tap from exactly where the ref is marling it and it gets called back.
U obviously don't get it.Most losses are worse than draws. I think it has something to do with the final score.
Good to see that the Wallabies knowing where the mark was we're back on their line ready to defend. I hope you can pick up the sarcasm, I'm not very good at it. ;-)As Joubert was moving towards the mark, no doubt the Wallabies thought he was going to go to the correct spot and weren't aware when he let Smith take a mark some 10m off the real one.

Is Julian Savea a flat track bully? Never seems to do anything against Australia or South Africa. Try-scoring record proves this too.
A ref could be payed off and we would all still sit here and say the wallabies should of taken the ref out of the game ect. Its OK to point faults out sometimes. I personally thought joubert had a pretty bloody good game.No. It's the Wallaby's 'fault' for not being alert and ready.
Smith was very sharp and ran straight to where Joubert was signaling the mark was, took the tap where he's supposed to and then made a great step to score.
Was always going to be hard to stop Smith because he recognised the opportunity and sized up the whole situation so quickly but that's not Joubert's problem. If anything, it was Horwill's fault for giving away a soft penalty in the first place.

But in the shot above, Joubert has his arms by his sides, and is walking backwards, and Smith is taking the tap. I thought they stuck their arm up in the air to signal the mark for a penalty?No. It's the Wallaby's 'fault' for not being alert and ready.

He scored a try from being open and no one in front.
Stats:
vs Argentina. 8 tries in 6 games.
vs Australia. 2 tries in 6 games.
vs England. 8 tries in 4 games.
vs Ireland. 4 tries in 3 games.
vs South Africa. 0 tries in 5 games.
That's 2 tries in 11 games vs AU or SA. 20 tries in 13 games vs ARG, ENG and IRE. I'm thinking flat track bully.
I laughed loudly (nay, hysterically) during the game when the Blicks kicked out from their 22-ish and most players moved upfield in chase mode. Joubert called "stop 8" or game-management words to that effect 3 times. 3 times! One warning for being in front of the kicker I can understand.......but a further 2 and no penalty?I personally thought joubert had a pretty bloody good game.
At his size, he can bully who the fuck he wants. On field that is, we won't mention that off field indiscretion.Is Julian Savea a flat track bully?
