Wallabies v Lions Game 2 MCG 26 July

[John S]

Well, you can't ban playing diving when scoring. Imagine having to place the ball down while running. However, you should never be allowed to jump over a tackler regardless of its while scoring a try. I remember a wallaby try disallowed for this exact reason when he dove over a ruck. I think it was Wilson from memory.

I think you're right. The counter argument is that it wasn't a ruck, and the Wallabies attempted a tackle while he was in the act of scoring (which is BS)

Does anyone have any videos of Haskell or a Pommie claiming what they're denying nowadays? It would be great to find it.

Which game?

What about this disallowed try??? What can they say about the height of the head? It was level with the ground.

I’m stunned more isn’t being made of the hookers jump/dive try. While the last minute try has a lot of emotion attached and technical merit the try by their hooker is an appalling precedent.
