Massive scrum.
It needs to be in and out, not the delayed put in from Christie.

He’s in a catching position with his arms out to receive the ball. Odd call.

Nice.
With hurdling the tackler being illegal it’s great to see the opposite in play with a slide under.

Re: OFFICIAL AB's V FRANCE 'Can we field the Love tonight" match thread.
No review of that pass is typical. I don't think they can, it was a fair bit earlier huh? What id the TMO for? They would for any tier 2 team or the Wallabies. They aren’t always consistent. The ABs had a try ruled out in the World Cup final outside the phases for review remit of the TMO for example.

I think this is part of what NZs found hard to take at the time. It's OK if you do it but not OK if we do it? Worst part was O’Driscoll trying to defend D'Arcy to the ref.
