you see it very occasionally at super rugby and npc level where teams get overexcited with the cheating.
also, see point above: "never leave your fate in the hands of a french official."

Yeah look you probably watch more Rugby than me but I've just never seen that called before, especially in such a crucial moment
Saying 'Rules are Rules' for Union is ridiculous in a game that allows the referees such leeway in officiating
There's time wasting all the time but the referee has decided to pull the trigger then? Yeah nah

You didn't watch it...Don't care for it - Why are you even offering a comment?

because i'm a flog
Rule book says that an AB should have been red carded
How did that work out?
That final decision must be the most ridiculous decision that I have seen at the end of an international game ever

in fact south african and irish "injury breaks" have already fallen foul of officials this year iirc, though usually between games. in one of our wins they got noticeably moved along by the officials.
and foley really was pissing about, so much so his own team were getting worried. it was npc level trolling and you can't be so unsubtle at this level. its what separates dane coles from darcy swain.

I bet if his team wasn't yelling at him it wouldn't have been called. All very hilarious and very fair.

if it was going to be called it was more likely to be in the 78th than in the 25th tbh. referees are more watchful for ****housing then.
the ref was all over the place tonight and when you get a french chaos ref you can't leave your fate in his hands. foley should have kicked it like a normal 10, take the line out and smoke it into touch and easy win because there was literally no time. all blacks only hope was to steal that lineout and run it in.
back slam away from the ball where yellow cards were handed out like confetti?

the aus forwards were having a serious cuddle too. foley was staring at them probably wanting them to hurry up, because if the all blacks manage to keep it in play like everyone trains for now, australia were toast.

the point is that referees are bad and inconsistent and the best way to minimise this is to not do things that might draw their ire
you roll a pair of hundred sided dice you might get snake eyes and the fella who rolls a pair of six sided dice gets two sixes. sometimes that just happens

it was a marginal yellow. never went beyond horizontal.
i think you need to log off. the ref was terrible but he was bad for everyone. french refs see the world in a different light.
He only had to kick it 20 metres for the game to be over

he probably should have done that then.
In a game with multiple yellows and a crazy end, that’s a straight red
Wouldn’t please the hierarchy

As Burgey would say, the greats get it done. And they did.
