New Zealand v Ireland - Test 3 - 16 July 2022

oh man im just gonna say i have ZERO clue if that was out or not... looked like it lmfao
I think it's one of those ref's interpretations - Wayne likes a good metre or so away from the back foot before he'll allow it - but he'd probably allow a kick forwards.

I've even seen cases where he's called "ball out" a defender dives on it, and gets pinged for doing so (he'd have been allowed to pick it up, but not to dive on it).
 
Don't know why NZ fans give out about Savea at 8. His pace off the base regularly takes flankers out of the equation.
 
As well as Ireland have played I would be a little frustrated with the officiating if I was an All black fan, Ireland have been very cynical in their red zone all game and had very little punishment for it.
