[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 666717, member: 43875"] I agree for the most part but I dont think the AB's got as much of an advantage this week as the Aussies got last week. I think the AB's deserved their two cards this week but both were overly harsh last week and actually Barret did noting wrong last week for his card and that had a big impact on the game. I wasn't happy how Romain Poilte was allowing Hooper to crab sideways into rucks/tackles. Rather than coming in the back on side he comes from an offside position, bends down beside the ruck and crabs in. He won at least one clean turnover and at least two penalties doing that. There was also a pretty major incident around the 55-56 min mark? Savea chased a kick an aussie missed it and the ball went away towards the aussie try line, savea went after the ball and he was blatantly grabbed from behind and pulled back by Palu who then passed him and claimed the ball. Savea and Palu were the only players there right on the Aussie try line. It should have been a yellow card for Palu at least. The AB's two cards were silly and well deserved but that was much worse, basically a deliberate foul to prevent an All Black try. [/QUOTE]
