Wallabies v Georgia 20 July - Allianz Stadium 3.45PM

Guys, all of this bickering over who to assign blame to with Lancaster and Wright in that incident is completely missing the point...

It was Tate's fault for turning the ball over in the first place.

Now, let's never speak of it again.

We must go further. It's Schmidt's fault for selecting Tate.

You're not going far enough...

 

[cyclopath]

Jeez, can some of you grow up? Pretty fucking petty stuff being said here.

 

[Wilson]

Wouldn't have had to hire Schmidt if it wasn't for...

 

[Brumby Runner]

It's certainly not a perfect solution, but I would much prefer a referee and two ARs miss a piece of play, over a 5 minute teleconference with the referee and the TMO.

Yeah, like Swinton's late high hit against the Force player last year? Missed by the on field officials that day. I'm not sure now if it was picked up by the TMO or cited after the game. But shows the need for the extra pair of eyes to pick up foul play.

Your argument is based on the premise that Lancaster was in clear air. He was not, and it was clear very early on that the take would be contested and, even if Lancaster won the contest, he would soon be tackled and require support.

Can that exact comment also be made in the situation had Wright gained possession? Lancaster would not have been in position to support as he was just jogging back?

Careful mate. The Queenslanders will be after you with the pitchforks

Yes - that is my whole point, good lord

Nothing new Matw.

 

[Maulalltheway]

How fucken hard is it to accept both players put in a poor effort without crying it's some parochial bias, get over it.

Nothing new Matw.

Nah. Just get over it BR. Do as we’re told

 

[Derpus]

Man every post match thread gets absolutely derailed...

 

[Slim 293]

Soooooooooo...

A few weeks until the next test, huh?

 

[Wilson]

The Greatest Nation have you covered

Unless you tow the line you’ll just be hunted away from these forums.

Isn’t it the Waratahs fault for not signing Mack Hansen?

 

[Derpus]

That’ll do me

I don't think people will be prepared to live with it. That's why we are where we are.

It's not just missing stuff either, they will need to make more decisions based on less info. This could result in more yellow/red cards and stoppages, as they won't be inclined to play on and let the TMO deal with it.

You could be right - but then I’ve heard plenty of people comment after games where there has been no video ref how good it was.

But sadly the way media and the general public focus on perceived errors and have no filter on criticism it may well cause more issues than if stops.
