MyChemicalImbalance posted:Travelling to Glasgow for the game, think we should have a fair crack at it if Stockdale is back fit but would agree with you over the course of the season Glasgow and Leinster have been the best in the league. Well good luck to you, your last visit to Scotstoun wasn't very happy but games like these tend to bring out more in the players. As a Dragons fan I'll be looking on in envy wondering what it's like for your team to be in an important game.

Price has been good getting the ball away and the Glasgow forwards have been Leinsterish at the breakdown. Think it's a game too far for Ulster but this Glasgow team could do the job next week in Celtic park.

Ulster looked just a bit off the pace today and Glasgow were bonkers good. That said, I reckon McFarland is doing a great job there and building a good squad. Every time Coetzee carries the ball, I fear for tacklers.

Pass goes backwards out of the player's hands, leads to a try, and TMO decides it was a forward pass, despite the ball clearly going backwards out of the player's hands. The TMO in question, Marius Jonker, is going to the World Cup as part of the TMO panel.

TMOs in every sport are of massively variable quality. Getting hung up on the frame rather than the motion seems pretty common.

Unless it's necessary they seriously shouldn't be allowed to do frame-by-frame stuff like that. If you can't tell off a reasonable slow-motion replay just keep the on-field decision. I remember something in cricket where someone got dismissed for handling the ball on a super slo mo replay when a full-speed replay made it obvious they were reflexively trying to prevent a ball from hitting them in the face.

If you can't tell off a reasonable slow-motion replay just keep the on-field decision. This is something that's started to enter into US official reviews. They're supposed to us slow MO and some frame by frame stuff to get info, but ultimately confirm their decision with full speed or only just slowed down video. I think it's helped some, if nothing else than an attitude shift that full speed video is the most important part of the review.

Hive Mind, I have a question: in the Reds v Blues game from this weekend, Augustine Pulu appears to be denied a try, based on the fact he was 'tackled' and has another go. From the angle I can see, the two tacklers have made no attempt with the arms. I really don't see how that try could be overturned. Anywho, I don't have dog in this fight, it just stuck out to me when I was watching the replay, I'm interested in what others have to say. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTIH-47dp-4

Specically 11 has his arms around him when they hit the ground. Pulu puts the ball on the ground but never releases it before he goes again. If he'd released the ball and picked it again then it would have been fine. I vote : No Try.

Thanks, thats a decent analysis that I was missing on my views of it. Here's a link to a decent short/doco on Rupeni Caucaunibuca that appears to be part of an ongoing series of Pacific Island players welfare. I always loved Rupeni and this goes some way to explaining his "erratic" career. For me it really humanises the guy, previously I wondered why his career never reached the heights it should have. The video left me severely disappointed in NZ rugby, we should have better programs to help people coming from different backgrounds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lugT_TShU10

Should every broken tackle be considered held, then? That's a try all day, and the Blues were hosed by the refs.

Held by the Reds 11 about a second before you took that screenshot. Looks like he rolls out from under him then plays the ball.

 Rugby World Cup Goon Squad We have around 3 months to put together a tournament thread, to hopefully convince the rational, sport-watching population of SAS that Rugby is good, and cool, and that the rules actually makes some kind of sense! Thanks to Jerusalem and FallingDownJoe, we have an awesome thread to work with, and right now, we're looking for posters who are happy to Adopt A Country. We plan to give the countries out at random (because it's funnier that way), and posters to keep us up to date on how their country is doing, leading up to a during the tournament. It's up to you to let the thread know which squad they select, which amazing players we should watch out for, what kind of popular native alcoholic drink you drink while watching your adopted country play Rugby, and of course, you'll need to tell us why your country will definately beat Scotland. If you want to Adopt A Country, please post indicating so, and we'll add you to the draw. If there are any countries that you specifically do not want to adopt (for example, you almost certain wouldn't want to end up adopting your actual nationality, or somehow end up having to support England), please list those countries in your post!

Aramoro posted:So you admit he was held then? Glad we all agree then, tackled should have released. For about a second before the tackler immediately falls off. And even then, all the guy has a grip on before he slips off is Pulu’s arm. Besides, for a player to be “held,” they need to be brought to the ground, while the tackler is still holding on to them. Pulu is still on his feet, and the attempted tackle is broken before a ruck or maul could be called. Pulu had every right to go for the try line.

Gimme a country, Tyma.Aramoro posted:I'll adopt a country. Pulu is initially grounded when the Red 12 and 11 attempt their tackle, but they slide off of him due to the momentum. Pulu gets back to his feet because neither are holding him, as he is entitled to do, at which point the Red 11 has another go, but falls off as Pulu is moving forward. Pulu is clearly also regathering the ball, as the 11 makes his second attempted tackle, but at this stage, he fails to bring Pulu down to the ground. And since Pulu is still on his feet, supporting his bodyweight, and because neither a ruck nor a maul has been called, he should have every right to go for a try.
