Answers Me posted:Did he? Why couldnt he have just booted it into touch instead? The Waratahs had about 10 minutes to score 2 tries for a bonus point win to secure a semifinal spot (they weren't in any danger of losing the game at that point, but only had 2 tries), and were playing with advantage. If he booted it into touch, he ran the risk of advantage being over, so he took a "shot at goal" with the intention of missing, so the Waratahs could then take the lineout option, drive over for a try and then spend the remaining 9 or so minutes getting that bonus point try. It all went wrong when the ball sailed between the posts instead, because he kicked it way better than even he'd probably expected. Edit: It's also hilarious that Dunning is such a gently caress-up that even when he does something right, he still does it wrong. edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Nov 3, 2014 |

GuardianOfAsgaard posted:Don't refs tend to usually call advantage over when you do that though, but not if you miss a drop goal? Only if it's a knock-on, usually with penalty advantage they'll bring it back to the spot if the move doesn't work out, at least in the last few years anyway. Not sure how it worked then.

Colin Slade (Crusaders, Canterbury) and James Parsons (Blues, North Harbour) have been called up to replace Cory Jane and Nathan Harris, respectively. Slade has experience at fullback and the wing, and offers another five-eighth option and his form demanded inclusion, while Parsons has been a long-serving North Harbour stalwart that has deserved higher honours for a few years now, having relegated Mealamu to the bench for some time at the Blues.

This is the Fiji team for their match against France this weekend. 15 Metuisela Talebula, 14 Watisoni Votu, 13 Asaeli Tikoirotuma, 12 Levani Botia, 11 Alipate Ratini, 10 Jonetani Ralulu, 9 Nikola Matawalu, 8 Masi Matadigo, 7 Akapusi Qera (c), 6 Dominiko Waqaniburotu, 5 Api Ratuniyarawa, 4 Leone Nakarawa, 3 Manasa Saulo, 2 Sunia Koto, 1 Campese Ma'afu Replacements: 16 Viliame Veikoso, 17 Jerry Yanuyanutawa, 18 Isei Colati, 19 Nemia Soqeta, 20 Malakai Ravulo, 21 Henry Seniloli, 22 Nemani Nadolo, 23 Timoci Nagusa It probably won't go very well for them but if they somehow manage to click they could put on quite a show.Matawalu, Nakarawa and Ratini are all great players on their day and Talebula's ability to create tries out of nowhere has kept Bordeaux in the Top 14.
