Rugby Championship Match Thread - Sat 2nd - SA v NZ / Arg v Aus
He just needs to be more accurate in his turnover attempts. He is a little too eager sometimes and bleeds a lot of stupid penalties.Sandstorm wrote: Sat Sep 25, 2021 8:07 am Kwagga has been brilliant. Several Bok bordies need to eat humble koeksuster
Does all the hard work to get to the contact point, but does release before competing for the ball.
Are the commentators seriously arguing that the prop should be allowed to be offside, cos you can't expect a big prop to get up and back onside?

I'm listening to the kiwis, and it definitely sounded like they thought it was harsh penalising the ab prop for being offside.

Kwagga is Bok bevok
Me too. They said “No chance a prop could be there legally”Raggs wrote: Sat Sep 25, 2021 8:24 amI'm listening to the kiwis, and it definitely sounded like they thought it was harsh penalising the ab prop for being offside.
Ah OK, misunderstood, sounded more like they thought he should be allowed, because you can't expect him to get back, to me.Sandstorm wrote: Sat Sep 25, 2021 8:28 amMe too. They said “No chance a prop could be there legally”

I'll need to see a replay, but he didn't near the ball. It's not enough to simply put yourself in the air and claim you were contesting, you have to be in a realistic position to do so.

Newshub getting a little optimistic here
59 mins - ABs back on the attack, the Boks 22m looming. SA defence holds but NZ remain patient with some quickly recycled ball which leads to a penalty. This time they call for the kicking tee. 22m on the angle, J. Barrett puts NZ back in front with 20 to play. (61-14)
Change the law. Zero contesting allowed. It’ll stop the constant kicking too.sockwithaticket wrote: Sat Sep 25, 2021 8:38 am I'll need to see a replay, but he didn't near the ball.

Faf jou vokker!!!!
Italy’s back play would put NZ to shame tonight.
Looks like the fatties aren’t running out of gas tonight. Can see only one winner from here…….but you never know.

I hope the Boks lose solely because of that last box kick. On the edge of the 22 and all you can think to do is kick possession away. 
Hard to argue with that. Very frustrating to watch that as a Bok fan.sockwithaticket wrote: Sat Sep 25, 2021 8:51 am I hope the Boks lose solely because of that last box kick. On the edge of the 22 and all you can think to do is kick possession away.

Congrats NZ. Strange tactics from Bokke at the end.

That was a baffling decision.
I know they're supposed to follow the game plan, but jeez you've got to play with your head up from time to time.

OK with that result. Well done All Blacks and supporters. We're too stupid to win matches like that.
