tolouse playing Dupont at flyhallf last week is quite the revelation

 

[AlRums]

Wonderful try

 

[Reiser99]

Great try. France started slowly and Scotland look up for this. It's fine though. We all know Scotland can't play after half time.

Wish Haouas was playing, a red card would really spice things up

 

[dirty harry]

Lucus boot is cracking. Hes started well

 

[TRF_Olyy]

No way Duhan is onside there - yellow card, but no PT

Did he do the high tackle as well?

Not even looked at!

 

[TommiG88]

Scotland sealing off nearly every ruck.

Then borderline high, borderline offside

 

[Bluemoon]

VDM high and not onside at that ruck. That's an insane call from the ref.

[Ragey Erasmus]

How the hell have Scotland got away with both a high tackle and blatant offside right on the try line?

 

[Which Tyler]

That was terrible by Berry

 

[Bluemoon]

Totally agree. The offside wasn't even marginal. I think the hind foot was the try line, he was pretty much in the centre of the breakdown.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Is this a HIA or a sub, from the gumshield sensors?
Not sure what it triggers?

 

[Reiser99]

Was it a ruck? Also does the tackler have to get back onside? It feels wrong, but I reckon he's got away in a grey area.

 

[Which Tyler]

Yes, apart from neither being borderline

[Ragey Erasmus]

Dummy throw there, also let that go.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wtf was Aldritt doing there, just walking as slow as he could through the 9s passing channel, then looking incredulous he's been called offside

Was Dupont the only player in the french side without a single figure IQ and dragged everyone up?

 

[Reiser99]

Not like France didn't tell Berry either.

 

[Bluemoon]

For me, I think the tackle offside line was there in the absence of a ruck as at least one player was over the ball. No way VDM went back behind it. Very lucky.

I think the first clearout arrived so the offside line was created.

Tackler always had to respect onside line, they used to be able to ignore the gate but that changed before 2019 I think.

(unsure on year of change not the law change)
