    The closeness of score belies the vast gap between NZ and SA and they wouldnt have stood a chance against Aus with same tactics. SA came close due to 6 penalties, because they kicked away possession in an attempt to get mistakes in the NZ half. You can only get so far with such rubbish. Then...

    As hypothetical as them not scoring off several other scrums and mauls...lets deal with the penalty which was wrong...point is missed that a decision like that cannot be countered in 60seconds if the other team is 1000 times better.

    You can see the Phipps touch in real motion...scrum, and if he then thought about it he could have given penalty if Welsh was loitering. People miss the real mistake Joubert made, which was to make a hasty, instantaneous, match changing decision without thinking about it

    Why was it a tight call? The ref could clearly see (or he ought to have if he was looking at play, and if he wasnt he shouldnt guess), that the ball came off Phipps. He should also have clearly known that Welsh was not loitering even if he didnt follow his movements (which he didn't), given...

    Didn't need TMO at all...he had to stop the game anyway for the minimum of a scrum to Oz...therefore he could have surveyed situation soberly...was Welsh loitering- no, did it come off Phipps - yes, was Phipps contesting ball- yes...and he could have called on assistant.. ...it actually...

    I was quite active in many sports, and at one time watched almost anything...but you get older and more cynical you know.....however, as someone that still competes in running (40 yrs now) and in running admin, event mgt etc, I never ever sacrifice my own training to watch sport on TV..so if I...

    So my interpretation even as a layman only reading the rules yesterday , was right. It only requires logic Fact: The Scot was not loitering if he was running back from lineout, something Joubert ought to have known without watching him, so 11.9 does not come into play. Fact: Phipps intended...

    ... but it is the better of the two options in any case. Looking at the incident again back and forth in slow motion, Joubert puts his hand into 'advantage' signal the very moment #18 goes for the ball, and then immediately blows whistle and points to penalty a split second later when he...

    Yes, but see my earlier post....if open to 'interpretation' then giving a penalty that will decide game is poor refereeing. There are players there that will never get that chance again. The 'arguments' on (or by) Rugbyrefs are ridiculous i.e. "they missed a conversion/penalties, and if they...

    ...so what are you at level 3 implying? That because 'everybody' went for ball, 'anybody' could touch the ball, but 'nobody' intended to touch the ball? Sounds like an old joke

    No, rugbyrefs.com are only interpreting those rules.

    Whatever the excuses of 'hindsight' etc and that "it looked offside in live action", the referee should never make a decision he is unsure of that can influence the outcome of a game within the last few minutes. You know with 2 min left, and with Scotland in possession, that the most likely...
