I know some stuff still gets missed or goes under the radar but seeing this makes me so glad that we have TMO now - what players used to do (and get away with) is shocking

[@freethis222]

I wish they would introducesomething like it in football, maybe that would get rid of all the throwing oneself about and overdramatising contact.

[@tomstuppence605]

We had a TMO for the second clip, and they still missed it. The most obvious foul play right in front of the referee and his own posts, would've been a definite yellow and probably a scotland win had it not been for the incompetence of the referee and the TMO

[@AngelicusImmortus]

It’s why they put in the rule that a ref can give you a red just for snapping at him/her. If a ref decides they’ve seen enough or a player has crossed the line with what they’re saying they can be sent off even if the game is just a few minutes in. Though I would love to see the Premiership football matches have a rugby ref. There wouldn’t be any of the “won a penalty” stuff, looking for a penalty could get you a yellow sun bin, all the diving around you’d end up with a lot of red’s. Just because faking injury in rugby is a red card offence.

@@CABerlitz 1978 Your right Haden dived and Oliver was pushed by Phillip's and that is who Quintendon (the ref) penalised - Alun Phillips. Brian McKechnie kicked the three points for the All Black win.

Nice use of the ff track "Exhausted". Spot on.

[@colinlawler6108]

When I was a very young scrum half (I grew up in the end) and making my first forays into grown up rugby, I was caught by a flanker doing what has since become known as a "Neil Back". When I saw him in the bar after I expressed my disdain for the cheap shot. In response he said "Have you read the laws?" I replied that I had. He then asked about the laws for the put in. He said "Had you been a metre from the scrum as it says, I wouldn't have been able to reach the ball". He was right. Lesson learned from an adversary over a few pints of Adnams

[@watkinsrory]

Does not make it right it was a disgrace.

[@colinlawler6108]

@@watkinsrory but it does pose the question of where the line is drawn between what is acceptable "gamesmanship" and what is considered out and out cheating. For example, the constant chatter from certain high profile players at the referee is considered by some as an acceptable part of the game. There is also a propensity for some exceptionally talented players to dive to influence the referee. It is, bit by bit becoming accepted and indeed is praised from some quarters. But where is that line drawn, and who has the right to draw it or indeed judge it? The truth is, and most especially in the front row, nobody, but nobody plays entirely within the laws. The game is, by its very nature, aggressive, adversarial and physical. Anything which might give you a 1% advantage could carry the day. There's a hell of a lot goes on in there that nobody sees. I can't think of anyone who was beyond reproach. Except Jonny. :)

[@watkinsrory]

@@colinlawler6108 No there is no line its all cheating. If it goes against the rules of the game its cheating

[@colinlawler6108]

@@watkinsrory in the example I originally gave I was not a metre from the scrum when putting the ball in. Ergo, I was technically cheating, albeit with no perceivable benefit to my own team. If we take the Back incident back to basics by your own definition, the scrum half putting the ball in was cheating. By the laws of the game, that would be the first offence, from which a free kick should be given, shich would have allowed Leicester to clear their lines. I'm guessing two wrongs don't make a right and all that, but cheating, as you put it, is cheating.

I remember Brad Thorn spear tackling John Smit in 2008 after the referee blew his whistle and Smit didn't even have the ball. The tackle injured Smit and he had to miss a game. Thorn wasn't even yellow carded.

In fairness to the lions isn't that what SA did to them the entire tour

[@AndrewDavidForde]

Yep there’s one clip each of either team in this video doing dirty tactics

[@Karma-qt4ji]

In fairness to SA, is that not what the Lions tried to do the entire tour? While Burger deserved an immediate red card, let's not pretend that the Lions were the gentlemen on the day. By RWC 2019 rules, the Lions would have seen at least 1, probably 2, red cards (O'Driscoll high tackle on Habana AND Danie Rossouw; O'Gara tackling du Preez in the air) as well as a probably yellow for Heaslip (diving on Habana 'long' after the try was scored - could have been escalated to red card for his shoulder impacting the head area) and Matthew Rees (neck tackle - can't remember on which player). Before the game, Gatland was talking up the physicality of his side and O'Driscoll did everything in his power to escalate whatever little niggle there was. They tried to outbully the Boks and they failed. End of.

[@Karma-qt4ji]

@K J Did you see the bit where I said that Burger should have been red carded? Of course what he did was wrong. I am merely pointing out that the Lion's tactics were dubious too.

[@Karma-qt4ji]

@K J Fantastic. At the risk of being argumentative here, have you considered maybe pointing that out to the OP? After all, he did say that we eye gouged the Lions the entire tour. By comparison, all I am doing is pointing out a) that this is not quite true and b) that the Lions were at least equally guilty of dirty play.
