Italy v New Zealand - 23/11/2024 (20.10)

Weird one cause that's easily the most blatant croc roll of the international series so far, but he doesn't land on the leg so.....?

Italy ffs

I like that Italian shirt. For Macron it's quite nice.

Same! Looks beautiful and unusual

Anyone else seeing the AI imposed Cadbury advert on the Italy and NZ half?

It's only shown by one particular camera.

I thought I was going mad.

 

[AlRums]

Cracking try saving tackle

No

Yes you are going mad

Silly question on a site like this

 

[AlRums]

Technically first knock-on was an AB

 

[Yulia]

I was expecting better performance from NZ

 

[AlRums]

Italy are not rolling over, a number of vital steals.

They certainly aren't going to allow a repeat of the RWC.

If they had gone in 10-6 at halftime, I would have said great result for them.

New laws for croc rolls are:-

Crocodile roll

Rationale: Player safety. While low in number, these actions continue to cause long-term injuries in many players. The Shape of Game meeting showed clear support for removing the specific action in law.


Law 9.20d

Replace: A player may lever the jackler out of the contest at the ruck but must not drop their weight onto them or target the lower limbs.

with:

A player may remove the jackler from the tackle area by pushing/driving them backwards (including by grabbing the knee/leg), but must not roll, pull or twist an opponent. (Sanction: Penalty)

New 9.20e

A player must not drop their weight onto an opponent or target the lower limbs. (Sanction: Penalty)

New clause in 14.8 (Tackle Law). Other players must:
e: Not roll, pull or twist an opponent, who is involved in the tackle, to the ground

New definition:

Crocodile roll: A prohibited action where a player laterally rolls/twists or pulls a player, who is on their feet in the tackle area, to ground. The action often lands on the player's lower limbs

Yeah, I was surprised in the beginning. With both:their Gzhel-style kit and with that score

 

[TRF_Olyy]

They need to fire the big screen operators, they're taking forever

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I'd go penalty only probably, several degrees of mitigation at play

 

[AlRums]

Think that should have been a card

 

[Yulia]

What did happen to Italy,they are soooo better than usual

 

[Yulia]

Crazy, best match of this weekend

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Huge defensive set,

Bit naive from Italy to keep it in the pack, where they're being outmuscled, when the ABs are a man down in the backs

 

[AlRums]

Come on Italy

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I'm glad they've got Benjamin Kayser on comms for internationals, he's too good to just be wheeled out for European games
