Monstrously embarrassing, that. And right in front of the AR!
TBF - the AR was unsighted by the tackline player. Still a bad miss, but I can see how it happened.

Re: Match 4: NSW Waratahs v B&I Lions

Sensible decision. Not sure what the ref meant by the Waratah trying to get back to his feet. He wasn't but either way, if he crawled, he crawled. Is there a law against crawling? I mean I know if you're tackled you must release the ball. But if you're not tackled, and are just knocked over, are yo...

Re: Match 3: Queensland Reds v B&I Lions - OFFICIAL!

Isn't there a law in rugby that there is no "touch" in goal. What I mean - as weird as it sounds - but by the lawbook, it's legal to have your body out, and reach in goal and ground a bouncing ball and it's still a try? I think they might have f-cked up there. If any part of his body put that ball ...

Between the bounce and the pickup, I'd be applauding the attack rather than criticising the defence.
That's a reasonable way to look at it, but vdM showed a total lack of bollocks.
