As a Springbok fan a draw is nice.

For my Superbru come on NZL you need to win this.

 

[Brawler]

NZ made a big mistake there...

Controversial

 

[Agent_Smith]

Aus screwed themselves with their stupid time wasting tactics.

Controversial

not at all...Ref has been sporting a hard on for the AB whole match....

 

[Pak Fa Fui]

He was wasting time the idiot

Genuinely one of the worst refereeing decisions I've ever seen.

 

[Brawler]

He was wasting time the idiot

He was actually waiting for his teammates to wake up. He was ready and looking at them.

Ooooooooooffffff that AB victory is going to be mired in controversy! Didn't have the sound on at work but did the ref actually call the Auzzies to use it or lose it??

He was kicking the ball out

Really dont see the hype around Marika Koroibete.

This ref def has a boner for NZ.

Points stand.

Time wasting and I think the ref was very bold to enforce that law.

Agreed not sure how much time you have to take a penalty 60 seconds ? Will be interesting to hear from the experts afterwards.. I would be fuming if it was the Boks but stupid Aussies probably threw away our chance to win the Rugby Championship now

World Rugby Law 20.5: "A penalty or free-kick must be taken without delay"

He was kicking the ball out

The ball is only out when it's out. Half of his team wasn't even looking.

Six seconds.

Really didnt look that long considering the time was off.

And the ball is only in play once he kicks it, where was he going to kick it
Ref stopped the clock with 45s to go, told him once he blows the whistle he needs to take the penalty he will start the clock
Whistle blew and he took time waiting to play the ball

 

[Agent_Smith]

Sixty seconds.

I think...
