Bullshyte call for the Crusaders, ball touched the post and the post belongs to the player.
If the ball touches in goal area (this includes try line) at the same time as touch line it is out.
The TMO gave the same explanation so at least he knew the correct rule to follow. As for the exact timing... well I doubt I would have made a different call but that being aid I am extremely happy I did not have to make that call.
2 Weeks in a row where the StorMERS seem to want to play rugby... Why so late in the season?
Perhaps seeing that their defend at all cost plan is leading to too many injuries and they might just as well have a bash?
Sad thing is if they win three more games all will be forgiven and forgotten and Alistair Coetsee will get another 5 years, and that means that Fleck will also keep coaching all the talent out of the WP back line for years to come.
Don't know if any of you watched the Heineken Cup final...
Jeez Toulon has been brutal. Especially Juan Smith.
I'm absolutely amazed at the conditioning there. Took 3 injury prone players and turned them into superstars. Johnny Wilkinson, Juan Smith and Drew Mitchell.
I did not understand why SA gave up on Juan,(perhaps he did not want to return) as he was one of the best in the world when fit and could lift a poor Cheetahs side to at least a competitive unit.
So De Villiers is out for 8 weeks.
Who do y'all reckon should be captain in his stead? Strauss? But then if Bismarck starts your captain won't be starting. :wtf:
So I suppose Victor is a shoe-in?
I would think so. When Victor goes off it will come down to Strauss or Bissie, depending who is on the park.
It seems it was the sly plan all along to get Matfield back in and captain so it wouldn't surprise me one bit. I am 100% anti him being there even as a player, he gets the captaincy and ye, my interest goes out the window.
May I ask whom you would play as captain?
also I highly doubt that Victor and HM sneekily planned JdV's injury just so that Victor could captain
