[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 667221, member: 39190"] I'll go through the motions, sure. I also have to admit SA won the B&I Lions series in 2009 somewhat on the back Beast doing the exact same thing in the 1st test and also getting away with it. So to clarify waht I was getting at, the scrums are a bit of a lottery and there is no denying the Argentine scrum is a better one so they obviously get the benefit of the doubt but on a number of occasions there is no doubt Arg were at fault for the scrum disintegrating and that was my comment; Scrum 1 - Herrera 1st one to pop up yet Bismarck is penalized. Herrera popping up at TH is a dead give away Ayerza is in on the angle even if we can't see it from this view. Scrum 2 - What irks me here is Walsh actually saying both he and the touch judge is watching Jannie alone. What does that mean? Is he saying he isn't looking at the scrum as a whole and only focussing on Jannie? 1:30 the scrum is collapsing and Ayerza is unbound and pulling Jannie down on his jersey; easy penalty for SA surely? No, Ayerza stays unbound but tucks his arm in while Jannie has to put his arm out when going down as it's literally his neck on the line here and Walsh pings us. This is just fact. Scrum 3 - Free kick is fair enough, Steenkamp lost balance and moved in early but here I feel most refs would go for a reset first. Yes, I feel the SA scrum was again hard done by. You guys can mock me but that is what I truly believe. Scrum 4 - Here SA is actually dominant but wait, Walsh calls for a reset. WTF? Reset and here Steenkamp gets away with dropping his bind. Okay, here SA get the benefit. Reset again and Walsh pings Ayerza rightly for coming in all of 90 degrees. The last couple of scrums I won't even discuss the angling is so obvious. It was not just the scrums. One each of the SA and Argentine mauls were very clear truck and trailers. The Arg one was close to the end of the game and the SA one in the middle(ish). Also, the maul Conrad Smith shared in another thread with SA close to the Arg try line with Arg forcing SA out there are any number of Arg players joining the maul from the side. The fact that some of the Arg players have twisted their bodies after joining from a correct angle does not not other can join from the side. Okay, I had my say, now let me have it! ;P [/QUOTE]
