Re: Rugby Championship - Week 1
I look at those SA 9s and think "livewires" I look at our Ben and think "laboured"

Re: Rugby Championship - Week 1
The SA scrumhalf conveyor belt doesn’t stop there, arguably their U20’s best player was scrumhalf Jaden Hendrikse (Sharks) is a name to remember.

Mixture of All Blacks 1st 2nd and 3rd choice hang on for a win in Buenos Aires
Re: Rugby Championship - Week 1
Lavanini had another strong showing against New Zealand. Comment made by the Justin Marshall that he should maybe ship the ball on rather than carrying into contact, though I have seen him do this for the jaguares
Re: Rugby Championship - Week 1
All Blacks were lucky, no way was that maul sacked legally.

Re: Rugby Championship - Week 1
I think I saw a side entry, plus it was probably collapsed as what happens with every unplayable ball decision made. Ie it’s a :censored law that needs changing because it’s lazy defending. Refs are becoming better at officiating it, especially at mauls in open play.

Re: Rugby Championship - Week 1
So in other words your guessing at what happened and could just have easily been defended legally, Retallick was seen telling the rest of the pack to hit it, and they defended within the existing lawsJP14 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 21, 2019 9:36 am I think I saw a side entry, plus it was probably collapsed as what happens with every unplayable ball decision made.

If it had been tigers defending like that you would have lauded it as great defence
Re: Rugby Championship - Week 1
Yes Retallick was legal and I wasn’t referring to him, you would think I would laud it as great defence if that was Tigers, but I wouldn’t. I still think it’s lazy.

Re: Rugby Championship - Week 1
Playing within the laws lazy, very interesting take that, suggest you share it with your coaches
Re: Rugby Championship - Week 1
My view is that in whatever way a maul is brought down to the ground the ball should made available to play.

Re: Rugby Championship - Week 1
And I don’t disagree with you and if they were the laws of the game then that is how it would be officiated.
But it isn’t and they’re not, so it’s wrong of you to suggest that New Zealand did anything wrong.
Maybe next game you play you should only use the laws you think are correctb
Re: Rugby Championship - Week 1
That's not my priority in a game of rugby, doesn't matter if I disagree with one law, the ref or the coaches isn't going to do anything about it. I do whatever it takes within the law of rugby to win the game.
And that's exactly what the ABs did yesterday and fair play to them, I'm just voicing my view that the rule is :censored.
