I agree to a certain extent. My issue is that he did not try to tackle or stop the attacker. All he did was to prevent the attacking player to score at the bottom of the post.
This move was definitely discussed before the time.
The top ref in the world. Surely they have discussed it also.
No mention of it in any rule book.

Jerome Garces has been named as the ref for Sunday's semi between South Africa and Wales, with Kiwi officials Ben O'Keeffe and Ben Skeen getting the nod as assistant referee and TMO respectively. Wayne Barnes is the other assistant referee.

Welsh referee Nigel Owens will take charge of the All Blacks' semifinal against England on Saturday night. Owens will be assisted by French referees Romain Poite and Pascal Gauzere, while South Africa's Marius Jonker will be the TMO.

When approached for comment, SA Rugby's spokesperson said on Monday: "A mix-up in supply led to the delivery of a small number of incorrectly branded jerseys by which point it was too late to source replacements."

Eagle-eyed fans were left puzzled by differing jerseys worn by a handful of Springboks in their Rugby World Cup quarter-final against Japan in Tokyo.

Pity we couldn't get Nigel Owens, he did good in previous matches. I don't like those two french arseholes at all (Garces and Poite).

Yup, we're pretty much guaranteed of a card somewhere in this match -hope it's only yellow.
I really hope they're nowhere near the field when we face beat NZ in the final ( :cool: )

We have a lot of negative people who like to latch on every possible thing that they can bitch about. Faf De Klerk has been subjected to a lot of undue criticism, in my opinion at least.
Besides the 1st half against Australia, Wales have been ordinary at best. Imagine if the Boks had squeaked through to the semis like Wales have, every keyboard warrior would be pounding away.

The Boks could definitely be more potent on attack and we are definitely a work in progress. But we still have some major strengths that Rassie is playing towards.
LeFroggie ref aside, I am extremely confident that we can - and should - beat Wales this Sunday.
