@African-Monkey said in QF - North Harbour v Auckland:
@Bones Yeah, actually, I do take what I said back, nothing more than just a natural reaction in that situation but yes, an illegal play. Fair call.
Yeah but this is the issue we're facing. If you can't stop a guy scoring a try, it's not ok to resort to a (dangerous) illegal action to try and stop him, just because you can get away with it being a "natural reaction". He's lucky it's not red.
We're so quick to forgive players but throw the officials under the bus if they get the wrong card.

@Bones was that stupid action players use thier foot to get under the ball...he's lucky it wasn't worse
Yeah, plus by him doing that it then put him in place to knock Angus tfo.

@KiwiMurph very harsh penalty. Collapsing the maul?

Pugh clearly collapsed.

@Tim said in QF - North Harbour v Auckland:
@Bones super quick, and would normally just be a scrum to harbour for a collapsed maul?
I'm all for refs penalising guys on both sides for collapsing the maul. But consistency is key. You can bet there'll be a maul where the team in control collapses it but he won't penalise them.
