The Lowe saving the touch thing and I'm an Irish fan here. Whats annoying is not if it was right or wrong call its the Lines man was not 10ft to the left of Lowe staring at him in the perfect position to see everything and couldn't make the call without the TMO......wtf. It was just another of many times in the game the ref team failed to be able to do there basic job. I don't think either team should be happy with the refs. There was some really harsh calls of plenty's given from both sides. The forward pass in the first half from the Boks was bad and the again the ref and lines man within 10ft fail to call it the mind boggles, you could have been in the worse seat in the stadium behind a piler with cataracts in both eyes and you would have seen it. I think the result was fair for what the ref aloud both teams to play. Congrats to the Boks. Ireland a penalty try at this level is just not on, need to do better.

@@stu1944 we will see how they fix this next round. Vinny koch did better in the 2nd half

[@randomlyfactual1943]

So before the game, the coaches have a chat to the referee and tells them what to look out for. And the ref then checks mainly for that. So if you can come up with something borderline legal and/or very hard to spot first time round, you can potentially get away with some shenanigans. Luckily for us, Malherbe is good enough not to let it cost us too much and I'm sure this will be addressed by next week. But brilliant by the Irish, they tried something and pulled it off.

[@Hard_Thinker]

Great scrum analysis. Always enjoy your commentary. It’s the result the bokke wanted, but there were some crucial issues that need improvement: dropped balls, missed kicks (both poles and line) and soft tries. Also need to find a solution to some Irish “cleverness”: players lying offsite (set a pod and run the play over the man), pop passes (have a two man tackle team with one to tackle and one to intercept the pass), closing down the space at scrum time (be the first to close the gap and squeeze them for space). For Irish non engagement in scrum, just delay the engagement or SA hooker can bind on Irish prop along with tight head and both pull him in to engage. Then go back to traditional bind.

[@Wildkard]

@@Hard_Thinker interesting the hook is allowed to bind on to the opposition? I feel thats gona weaken his own bind and can get split apart from his props

Man of the match was Ben Whitehouse. He saw a boot touch the ball but not the neck roll. Disallowed Lowe try.

[@Wildkard]

😮

[@YOYOTh1s]

The Cheslin Kolbe try should've been chalked off really for a very technical reason. As he was trying to keep the ball in on from a penalty, he should've jumped from outside the field and landed in the field of play. The ball crossed the plane of touch when he caught it. Also, the ball scraped his leg when his foot was on the ground in touch. On the other hand, Connor Muarray's try should also have been chalked off, because Finlay Bealham took four extra rolls after being tackled, so I guess it evens out.

[@Wildkard]

@@YOYOTh1s if u start outside the field u must land inside, so u cant just jump up 10m out and hit the ball back in. If u start inside the field then u need to release the ball before u touch the ground.

[@thenomad47]

Honestly it was such a sloppy and ugly game from the Bokke, but a win is a win😂😂 I agree with you on Porter as well. I was sitting watching the game, and calling out to my family watching with me that the Irish are pulling the bokke towards them in the scrum and sometimes even actively taking steps back if you look closely in order to pull the Boks forward before the ball gets put in, with the Irish nr 9 Specifically not putting the ball in and waiting for the Irish Scrum to pull the Bok Scrum back in order to get the penalty. Casey looked quite worrying. Seems like he just got some whiplash and a bit of a bump to the head when he fell. Hope it's just a bit of getting dazed after the tackle and nothing actually serious. I think the Bokke are maybe starting the experimentation phase again, hence why they did very few kicks and did a lot more running ball. It's back to the buildup and innovation stage for the bokke, so, they're gonna be doing a lot of experimentation for the next 4 years in preparation for the 2027 World Cup.

[@davidr5597]

[@jameswyatt4443]

I’ve been saying that about the new scrum law the whole time.

[@PhillipDawson10]

Excellent Wildkard. Have been saying this for a long time. Porter's arm movement and the angle of his elbow and the movement of the arm is so clear for all (but the officials for some reason) to see. Also the way his hips are always goes higher than his shoulders, as he tries get under the opponent. With these two techniques, we can see what the scrum collapses so many times, when he is in it. Porter has been doing this for a long time, and I do not understand why. He is strong enough to just keep his hios and shoulders level and push straight, without pulling the opponent down. On top of this, there were times when he did not even bind when the referee called bind. So, he is always looking for ways to try and get the best of his opponent by ways that should not be allowed. There is already enough focus on the scrum, and by him doing all these things, he is not helping the conversation. A lot of people will then say, yes, he might be doing these things, but as long as he gets away with it, and he is not getting penalised, t hen it is ok. But he has been penalised in the past, and then the same people are upset about it.

[@Wildkard]

yeah i think its a referee game he plays. if he recognised he can get away with it he will do it. he has been done for it before. It is an edge for his team and he did collapes the scrum and got the whistle on his side

I dont understand why you think Porter is illegal? To me what he is doing is very clever as as you said it makes Malherbe lose his balance.These are subtelties at scrum time. For example the Springbok penalty try, which was an outlier in terms of the rest of the game, was as a result of a very subtle early shove by the springboks. They achived this by initially binding at a higher position before dropping as a unit as the ball was about to come in and stepping forward. This gave the Irish front row no chance to recover.

@@kh7431 i guess if u get away with it sure good for porter

It was a game of two halves and one can see the tony effect on the boks they will need to do better next weekend.

[@Wildkard]

poor defense at the end bit concerning other than that it was fine

[@cosmic_diver]

Luke Pearce doesn't really understand the dark arts. Good analysis as always mate! Was a good game. Think the Boks are looking like they're still not operating at 100%. Way too many mistakes and loss of composure and structure at times to allow tries against the run of play.

This match confirmed on thing… Angus was right not to want to ref! Even TMO had his work cut out

Ireland did good ,like Boks new play but there is to much cracks in the defense. Rassie and Brown need to decide what stile they want to play .They cannot do both .Boks DNA is physical contact not this All black stile.
