RWC: All Blacks v South Africa (Pool B)
-
It really does reveal the 'narrative' is irrelevant to what actually happens on the pitch. Divorced from reality.
In a game in which:
- Mapimpi avoided yellow card for a Professional Foul
- PSDT interfered in a 5 on 0 overlap in an offside position and then intercepted - from which Saf eventually score try (14 point turnaround )
- Savea was head high tackled by Etzebeth (unpunished)
- Savea was head high tackled by PSDT (unpunished)
- plus add your own minor everyday quibbles here .... that your own one eye spots. E.g. a Malherbe bind or 2, a minor Faf head high on Beauden , an Etzebeth neck roll, a Faf shepherd on Bridge to allow Kolbe nearly try, horseshit lineout penalty against whitelock, harsh rolling away penalty on Laulala milked.... etc - are on my list.
People are making videos about AB ref bias. Unbelievable! After this game ?!?!?
Pick your battles better, like a game where NZ actually did get the rub of the green.

:Whose up for a laugh ... ?
Wow.
I'd give that about 5 correct about 10 wrong.
Previously I had only noticed Malherbe's binding in one of the Moody elbows down scrums - until this helpful video, he was literally doing it all day ref.
Only correct ones were 2 of the knockons, couple of side entries, plus the Vermeulen penalty. Although while focusing on red herring of Moody he ignored Ardie ending up being at the wrong side of that disintegrating maul for the rip.

Good spot. Gets a "proper" bind at the engage then moves to armpit to pull Moody down.

I for one am mightily relieved that the status quo has returned, and we once again have the refs in our pockets. These recent red cards and even penalty counts were starting to give me the jitters, i hate a level playing field

The ultimate masterstroke is installing IRB headquarters in Dublin, giving it the illusion that the game is being run by the Nothern Unions

They've always been in our pockets we just let them have the odd win to get their hopes up .

:@MajorRage LMAO imagine blaming the ref when De Klerk was throwing the game for his side for most of the match with useless and aimless box kicks. To be fair, Moody didn't have his best night in the scrum. Silly video.
Agreed. Most interesting thing is that when Garcies stood and specifically observed Moody-Malherbe (on far side from camera) he penalised Boks.

The Marx clean should not be repeated.

Something about the South African psyche goes hand in hand with the kind of bitterness that goes into making one of these vids. We kiwis can't be arsed even when we lose to a dodgy ref, we just have a quick whinge then move on with our lives.

Ever heard of this Pommy ref Barnes?
Or this Irish dude that could have died?
