Exeter
I don't disagree but one thing that gets me is that's a yellow card awarded yet two off side infringements in the build up to Glaws try didn't result in a YC, to me if a single incident collapsing a mail illegally is a yellow so should two or more offences of another kind be, I don't really get why a maul automatically trumps all else.That is 100% a PT, it was going forward at 100mph before it was collapsed
I mean two obvious offsides within a meter of the try line vs a collapsed maul moving at the rate of knots, both pretty likely to result in a try if not done and a two to one ratio, yellow cards are without A doubt far more frequently awarded for collapsed maul than offsides which only ever really come from repeat offences.It's not like every collapsed maul is a yellow, that was going over the line and really blatantly collapsed. Similar to how not every deliberate knock-on is a yellow
Not comparable to a step offside, imo
That was not good enough at all, granted are missing a fair few that would have provided a point of difference but we just arnt converting our possession, all that physicality means nothing if you take zero away from a game.Not sure that Exeter's gameplan of slowly passing to stationary forwards is going to be enough to breakdown this defence, but they don't look like they've got any other ideas in the back pocket
