Not sure how the holidays fit in but there’s only a 50 hour window from the start of the game for a possible citing but it looks like Balls disgraceful act of thuggery is going unpunished

The amount of time the ball was out of the Conga ruck during the game whilst Faff, faffed about was equally as bad officiating, it wasn't the best challenge but if you keep doing it you are going to get clattered eventually.
I do worry we are getting close to diving in the game, we have a lot of the other nonsense from Wendyball, unfortunately the way this behaviour used to be "policed" on the field isn't allowed now.

What do you think about AWJ and Biggar amongst other Welsh players constantly moaning and questioning officials decisions during games? That's very wendyball to me,do you think they should be getting yellow cards for it?

Yes....OTY should of got one at Briz as well, it needs eradicating before it becomes endemic & filters down the game.
Biggar isn't even the captain...
Yellows & 10m required.

That’s what makes it worse with Biggar,not even captain and he’s probably the worse in the sport.

Jake Ball has escaped a citing,disgraceful! I shall be keeping my eye on certain posters over other red card decisions in the future and let’s hope they keep the same energy they have done. Somehow I doubt it!

It's all part of a gradual increase in Ungentlemanly conduct on the field.
In Biggars case it detracts from some of his undoubted qualities.

Not that this format will last but straight single game knockout matches does bring something to any cup competition.Revenue and money tend to dictate however.
Seemingly heading rapidly toward senility .....Not long or far to go now , in fact, getting worse daily.....

Biggar, Farrell and Sexton (when the latter two weren't captain) are probably the worst offenders - seems to be a 10 thing! Seems like refs have forgotten the 10 m walk rule, used to be much more common that the ref would march you back another 10 m if the decision was challenged or there was any back chat.

AWJ is just being an excellent captain. Dallaglio was just as chatty and annoying when he was Wasps captain all those years ago.

The mute button is well used when he is involved.....the best thing he has ever said was about Deano punching him in the face at a lineout.
Fantastic player, the rest not so.

Hasn't that happened to us a couple of times recently? I've certainly seen a couple in recent games somewhere.

Having watched it several times and taking notice of the actions of all the players I would say the following

1 Faff is in no position to either pass or kick the ball - he is just trying to draw players offside by looking over the ruck
2 Ball sees the ball clearly behind the back foot with hands on and comes from an onside position
3 Ball puts one arm over and the other under Faff's body clearly looking to wrap
4 Because Faff's body is basically horizontal Ball does everything he can to avoid illegal contact

The officials took all of this into consideration and said play on

If Faff had taken the sort of blow to the head that people are claiming then he should have been going off for an HIA not berating the AR with his fellow players joining in after he started.

I'm all for protecting players but they need to protect themselves - putting yourself in a position where your head as low as Faff's was is a danger to yourself.

Also there is no ruck as there are only Sale players over the ball so anyone can tackle the 9 or try to take the ball
