RaboDirect Pro 12 Final - Leinster vs Ospreys - 27/05/2012

I leave my computer to do a set of sit-ups with Ospreys about to kick. I return to find Nacewa's scored. Wtf?

Ospreys got the kick. From the kickoff Sexton kicks to Nacewa who runs it in.

Poor by Dirksen then - misjudged where the kick was going and Nacewa could just waltz in

It looked like Dirksen didn't want to challenge for it.
 
How can you give 5 penalties, not give a penalty try, eat into over 3 mins of the 10min yellow card, then give a penalty to Leinster. Complete joke, and he's spoilt this game!
 
Jones was starting to get very cocky vs McGrath and was twisting to early so fell over.

Bit of a scrap going on.

Btw though usually don't agree with what Poite does you can't give a penalty try without the team having the forward momentum which makes a try inevitable.
 
And there wasn't as the Ospreys weren't even putting the ball in.

No, he only said that he could.
Five straight penalties. How is that not a penalty try?

Definitely said he couldn't. He could have given twenty penalties but if the scrum doesn't look like it's going to result in a try he can't award a try.

Nah, he said he could award another yellow card, but couldn't give a PT because the scrum wasn't going forward. He bottled it.


That said, Ospreys should have gone wide. Man over off a solid scrum 5m out. Should be meat and drink.
