[QUOTE="Nubiwan, post: 874401, member: 43441"] A cracking game for the neutral. Here are some thoughts and questions. Best game I have seen Foley play this year. Found his kicking boots. Great pass for the Obiwankenobe try. Very nice if flimsy pseudo fend on xolisi, who must feel rather emasculated after that. How forward does a forward pass have to be before its called forward on that surfontein (sp) try? Holy ****. Might have been another howling forward pass ignored during a subsequent boks march down the near side for a subsequent penalty, perhaps even a try. Law clarification request please? When can backs encroach the 10 meters on a long throw at line out please? My understanding.... Line out is over when ball passes either the last man in line out, or perhaps 15 meter line. At which point, backs can advance. If I am close to correct, then surely surfontein (sp) - or any back for that matter -is offside to be able to catch a long line out throw. Do officials simply allow it because it looks nice? I see pens all the time for backs advancing before the line out is over, yet the long throw is open season. I think it's called wrong. Otherwise top entertainment. Anyone take in the St. Helens Castleford league semi final earlier this week, what a great contest that was. League is fantastic at times. Right down to the final whistle. Will be watching the oz grand final later with probably greater interest than the ABs taking on the Pumas. [/QUOTE]
