When even the Sky NZ commentators agree that the call (that benefits the ABs) is bad, then you know it's real bad.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the referee's room post-match when Owens and Veldsman start talking. Owens will have some feedback for Veldsman, methinks.

Yeah. That was loving dumb.
Savea (J) can't tackle anyway. Anyone else may have had a legitimate claim, but that should've been awarded on that. However, the blatant neck-roll clear-out two(?) phases earlier should've stopped it anyway.

Consensus on Coles' non-try? I was at an RSA and the diggers were calling loudly for blood, but I don't know the letter of the law there.

Savea was gaining and had options like a possible ankle tap to prevent Speight's try. Haylett-Petty clearly altered his line to interfere, and that creates enough doubt as to whether or not he had an effect on the outcome there. Veldsman was right to raise this point with Owens when he did. No amount of huffing and puffing from Cheika or the Aussie contingent will change the fact that the only person to blame was not the crowd or Owens or Veldman or Savea or anyone else, but Haylet-Petty, and Haylett-Petty alone.

Re: Coles' try that wasn't, I think there was a knock-on earlier anyway.

Munster were great today, Glasgow looked like they just didn't want to be there, just couldn't get themselves up for the match considering the occasion.

Earls is a fuckwit and his whinging as he walked off after spearing a man on his head was childish.

Yeah, it looked like he was complaining at Brown for milking it or something but when you tackle like that it makes no difference, ref doesn't have much choice.

Scotland squad announced. It's pretty much as expected though WP Nel is out with a neck injury and Matt Scott is likely being held out by Gloucester over an injury insurance dispute between the club and the SRU. No Sean Lamont may signal the end of an era too. Laidlaw remains at scrum half probably due to his kicking and ability to read a game pretty well but it highlights the serious lack of depth at 9 for Scotland. Good to see Watson get a spot too, he's probably Edinburgh's best player at the moment and walks through tackles on a regular basis.

Did Coles face sanction for shoving whichever Wallaby it was that turned over the ball to start that motion's face into the turf?

Edit: It was the Wallaby #6.

I just got around to watching the game and can't find mention of punishment anywhere. I guess a better question is where should I search for Disciplinary Board decisions?

It's right at the 71 minute mark, so I guess it was the Coles try that was. The commentators laugh about it on replay a few minutes later. I will try to link a video when I'm not phone posting.

Edit: Skip to 1:37:30.

It's kind of a fair non-call after Hooper planted Coles a few minutes earlier after he offloaded during the second Savea try.

My question about where to look up World Rugby Disciplinary Board decisions remains.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Cruden starting against Ireland. What's odd is that Barrett's kicking actually wasn't terrible until this season. I wonder what happened.

Edit: also, the Otago v. Harbour game is a pro-watch.
