The most egregious was the letting South Africa run straight from a ruck and tackle the scrum half in the Welsh 22 which led to the scrum and to the Try. I'm not saying Wales were robbed, SA scored a good try. But it was a gently caress-up which changed the game. Joubert straight up decided that game by not going to the TMO.

I think it was Joubert's arrogance in not asking the TMO that was the worst part, as if he had super robot ref eyes and saw it all flawlessly in real time.

The TMO can be used only in the following circumstances: -Determining the grounding of the ball in-goal for a try or touchdown and/or whether players were in touch or touch in goal before grounding -Determining whether a kick at goal has been successful -Confirm if an infringement has occurred in the build-up to a try or prevention of a try (infringement must be within two phases of the try or touchdown) -Considering acts of possible foul play

Glad the IRB or World Rugby or whatever they call themselves these days subjected us all to endless TMO replays of rucks, tackles and gently caress knows what else in the group stages only to have a game altering call in the last two minutes of a quarter be un-reviewable.

Shouldn't "foul play" logically include "anything which might give away a penalty" though?

fallingdownjoe posted:Shouldn't "foul play" logically include "anything which might give away a penalty" though? Generally speaking "foul play" is intentional, there's nothing intentional about knocking the ball on or standing in front of it and reflexively grabbing at it. But it should have been reviewed, and World Rugby refs need to be allowed and in fact required to review calls that determine the outcome of a game like that. I hope the Pumas beat the Wallabies next weekend just so we as rugby spectators have the chance to see a country pick up its first World Cup title. It's really distressing to think that three out of four countries stand to pick up their third title, it doesn't make the sport look good.

Worse than the offside decision was Joubert not seeing Drew Mitchell's late hit on Hogg a minute before that. That would have been a penalty for Scotland where the ball landed in the Australian half. Can't believe he didn't see it or that the TMO, so vocal in the first half was suddenly tongue tied. I can't believe Joubert ran off the pitch at the whistle. At least have the guts to shake the player's hands and look them in the eye. Vamos Los Pumas! Painkiller fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Oct 18, 2015 |

(a) The ball shall be put into the scrum from the Referee’s side by holding it in a horizontal position with a point in each hand and rolling it along the ground into the tunnel formed by the opposing front row forwards. Edit : so as not to be obtuse. The Laws of the game are routinely ignored by referees in order to make it a fair contest. If Joubert had gone to the TMO to check the game-deciding decision there is not a person in the game who would have criticised him. In not going to the TMO he allowed an incorrect decision to decide the outcome of a game which is scandalous in my view. DickEmery fucked around with this message at 20:04 on Oct 18, 2015 |

DickEmery posted:Laws. I actually agree with you there to some extent. I think the protocols in this case resulted in an incorrect decision to remain standing. This needs to somehow be corrected without the game being further reliant on the TMO, which has been something of an issue...

I'm disappointed Joubert hosed us, but I'm glad Scotland showed the ability and mentality to make that a close game they almost won. Everyone had written us off for this game and we defied the odds. Can go out as the only NH team to be a point off a SH team. I just hope we can carry this on to the Six Nations.

Somehow this weekend has made being back-to-back 6N winners something of a drag. Hopefully France's performance means they put in a wage cap in their domestic game, which would do us all a favor really. Brian Moore hit the nail on the head when he said he didn't care how many European Cups Bastareaud had won because he's a shithouse centre who doesn't belong on a Test field.

Terrible yellow card by the way. Did not deserve it. I had almost forgotten about it but it crawled back into memory as I remembered how badly Aus played. I'm so sorry Scotland.

Maybe the 6N countries could...take some kind of...tour...to the RC countries next June in order to...test...how well they...match up against them. A "rugby tour" featuring "test matches," if you will. Or maybe even sooner than that, the RC countries could likewise have a "tour" to Europe.
