I'm hoping a photographer got a shot of the Savea punch and he gets a few weeks off for that shit

[Machpants]

Savea lucky they cut away!

[No Quarter]

So far we have Squire with a dangerous cleanout, shoulder to the head. A late cheap shot on Savea after the pass. And then a forearm to the back of Saveas head. He's a bit of a fucking thug isn't he?

Looks like Savea stupidly took the law into his own hands and was lucky the cameras didn't pick it up.

[antipodean]

LOL suspicion. What do you think he's doing? Replacing divots in the turf?

This is bullshit. There was nothing except suspicion that Savea did something and the try is rule out???

Bollocks. You can clearly see a punch thrown even if you can't see it landed.

[gt12]

Fucking hell. That’s shit refereeing.

[taniwharugby]

@dingo JB was in front when he took the ball, offside.

If it happened.

[Machpants]

Yeah maybe he punched the ground in frustration haha

[dingo]

@damo If you saw a punch thrown you have better eyesight than the ref and TMO.

[Tim]

Shouldn't that be a try? Squire should be off for his second card. Swinging arm with high initial contact is serious.

Bollocks. You can clearly see a punch thrown even if you can't see it landed.

If he's just punching air, why would you send him off for that?

@taniwharugby

But that wasn't what was ruled was it.

Rubbish. The ref and TMO clearly saw it because they disallowed the try.

[Machpants]

Nice to see some feeling tho, but no injuring or having ABs please

[Donsteppa]

What were the odds of Squire being caught being an oaf?

Savea probably lucky that the camera followed the ball...

That much dodgy stuff in the play that it might have been the right call - even if not for the right reasons.

[Stargazer]

@dingo The penalty had already been given, before they ruled on Squire (and the bus).

[taniwharugby]

@dingo I realise that, but they cant just let the try stand after the foul play and he picked the ball from an offside position...so many reasons to call it back.

If they saw it then red card...but they didn't and the TMO didn't either.

I never said he should be sent off. An attempted punch is foul play and enough to rule out a try scored.
