Re: Poorly officiating the offside line
The last thing on AB minds would have been to deliberately fall on the wrong side and give Farrell an easy kick to win the game. You could see the players either lying still to not impede the ball, or rolling when given the opportunity. I personally prefer refs to not dish out soft penalties for su...

Re: Another TMO game
Players are offside by that far at as many rucks as scrums are fed into the second row, it's the norm not the exception.
Which is to say marginally at best.
There has been some poor TMO decisions the last two weeks.

Re: South Africa robbed

Anderson is a fine pace bowler who averages about 12 with the Duke ball in England and about 40 anywhere else in the world. McGrath the greater bowler here.
