[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 670425, member: 20605"] To be fair regarding the Law as regards to the referee getting in the way, there is no Law that allows him to stop play of he gets in the way of play, only if the ball actually touches him. [TEXTAREA]6.A.10 THE BALL TOUCHING THE REFEREE (a) If the ball or the ball carrier touches the referee and neither team gains an advantage, play continues. If either team gains an advantage in the field of play, the referee orders a scrum and the team that last played the ball has the throw-in. (b) If either team gains an advantage in in-goal, if the ball is in possession of an attacking player the referee awards a try where the contact took place. (c) If either team gains an advantage in in-goal, if the ball is in possession of a defending player, the referee awards a touch down where the contact took place.[/TEXTAREA] There was also another incident where all of the TO4 got it wrong. They penalised Savea for a late tackle when the Pumas receiver saw him coming and batted the ball on instead of catching it. Savea hit him a millisecond later. There is no way that can be called a late tackle. Savea was committed to tackle a player he reasonably expected to become the ball carrier at the time he tackles. He was not to know that the player would bat the ball on. Call this a late tackle, and it will make it very easy for players to "buy" a penalty. [/QUOTE]
