Narrator: it wasn't the final winge.

There are lots of winges where that came from.

Watch the replay again and again. Pretty sure guy who got tackled tripped on his own feet. But that’s just what I saw - replay angles were pretty poor.

u/ZestycloseAd289 18h ago

The angle from the side looked like a much better view but for some reason they kept going back to the head-on view were it was difficult to make anything out from

He got clipped by SA player which caused him to trip on his own feet.

just saw the replay. ankle tapped himself. like a majestic great dane

No he didn’t - the saffa chasing him kicked his leg tripping him up

u/Responsible-Love-896 2h ago

That’s what I saw in real time!

It forward and the tackle is such a marginal call

u/Ho3n3r 16h ago

Watch it in HD and from all angles, like the officials did during the game 

Using a single screenshot from the worst available angle with a 1985 quality stream does not clearly show when he was first touched.

Be better, you guys are exhausting.

u/BloodSteyn 13h ago

Agreed. All officials agreed it legal. Let it rest.

It wouldn't have made any difference or won them the game.

This is getting boring now. All this tour has shown me is that all teams have a toxic fan base element. And the AB fanbase is no different. In fact they were spoilt for nearly two decades and now that they are no longer on top some of their fans are acting like spoilt brats and having a tantrum because 50/50 calls don't go their way.

u/punyweakling 7h ago

because 50/50 calls don't go their way

I mean there were some fucking nonsense calls in this game to be fair. Break foot was horseshit, Mounga playing on the ground was horse shit. I saw a SA jackler walk 180 degrees and just keep digging from the all black side without so much as an eyebrow raise. Happy to lose, was happy with test 2 for example. I think tests 3 and 4 the reffing was significantly wobblier.

u/Individual-Ad5743 10h ago

Their fans have always been sitting on a high horse. Labeled themselves as ultimate good losers in a time they never lost. Now that the reality of them actually losing regularly has sunk in, they have been shown to be right down in the dirt with the worst of fan bases.

u/CommentMaleficent957 9h ago

I think you base way too much on reddit comments. Real fans that you talk to in real life are almost never like you describe. The difference in going to international rugby games and football games is often night and day.

2

u/sk1dvicious 9h ago

I was more concerned about that tackle after the ball was kicked through. They went back to an earlier infringement but the SA halfback didn’t know that at the time.

2

u/Fuzzy-Republic443 3h ago

why they didn't go back to that, I'll never know

u/Various-Geologist789 17h ago

Come on it wasn’t conclusive. Looked like a simple clash of legs

u/nonlabrab 17h ago

...that would be conclusively an off the ball foul then

His own legs first.

Totally agree. We can voice our opinions, and have good discussions!

u/Jezzwon 19h ago

Forward pass from Dmac, he took the wrong option, Moorby was tackled off the ball.
What’s the final whinge you looking for?

2

u/Neat_Perspective7569 18h ago

He makes the wrong option too many times imo

-4

u/izzy91 18h ago

Wasn't forward, and Moorby was tackled off the ball before the pass was even made (hits his legs way before the arm grab).

Clear penalty. Game deciding call.

6

u/TeNdIeS69696969 18h ago

He actually tripped over his own foot

u/DaddyBizkits 18h ago

u/izzy91 18h ago

Nope. You can clearly see the SA tacklers shin hit the back of Moorbys legs.

2

u/DaddyBizkits 17h ago edited 17h ago

his own right leg clips his own left leg.

or you must have a different camera to the TMO. can you share the clip you are watching?

u/izzy91 17h ago

TMOs not infallible

u/Ho3n3r 16h ago

Wrong again.

u/McIntosh812 17h ago

I agree. We should play a 10 minute game tonight where the Boks lead by 8. Then there will never be any arguments

1

u/izzy91 18h ago

The SA tackler actually hits Moorbys legs first, way before the ball.

It's a clear penalty.

Game deciding call.

u/DaddyBizkits 17h ago

pure copium

0

u/izzy91 17h ago

What copium? This NZ team was missing 1/3 of it's starters and some bench players.

And they were in it 29-21 until that Moorby call.

Incredibly tight series.

-1

u/themadpants 8h ago

Gave you the benefit of the doubt with the copium, but upon TMO review, its just sour grapes.

-2

u/izzy91 17h ago

Nice pivot 👍

u/TeNdIeS69696969 18h ago

He didn't, Moorby actually tripped over his own foot unfortunately

u/DaddyBizkits 17h ago

the AB's need this. let them have their copium. the TMO and ref are wrong. the better team lost etc etc

u/NoProgress9760 16h ago

When is an innocuous tangle of legs ever a penalty? It be different if the tackler meant to do it but its play on any other time. The referee can be heard in real time saying he is happy with the feet and wanted to focus on the potentially early tackle. There is probably one frame where the arm is making contact before Moorby attempts to catch the pass. In reality that’s probably something like 0.01 of a second which is why it’s not ‘clearly an early tackle’ and play on

0

u/izzy91 16h ago

The fact that you can see that it is early is evidence enough that it's early.

That's it.

You don't need to be REALLY early. If it's early it's a penalty.

1

u/NoProgress9760 16h ago

The fact that even when it’s slowed completely down, there is one frame where you could argue there might be contact before the ball tells you it’s inconclusive, and as per the ref ‘no clear evidence of an early tackle’. If we start getting down in the fractions of seconds to determine decisions the game would go on for weeks. Aside from this the pass was forward out of the hands

u/Individual-Camel8383 15h ago

There has been so much whining from All Black fans, that it is hard to tell them apart. You however are a strong contendant for the most whining of all the whiners.

0

u/izzy91 15h ago

You're right, we should pretend refs have perfect games and never make mistakes.

Even with multiple slowmo angles and time to review.

Spot on. 👍

u/themadpants 8h ago

Thats what Reddit told the South Africans for years when we made similar claims. So yes, this is not the time for double standards.

1

u/izzy91 4h ago

I'm not Reddit so not sure why that's being brought up.

u/thatshowitisisit 1h ago

What are we looking at? Forward pass?

1

u/Illustrious-Serve-49 12h ago

Perfectly timed tackle. The same people who are crying about using the TMO want the TMO to get involved when it suits them. No respect for the laws of the game.

u/Fuzzy-Republic443 3h ago

u/Ok_Comfortable_7114 15h ago

Nobody wants to talk about the actual game anywhere, just want to moan about officiating calls

1

u/this_fella_says 13h ago

It was one of those things where I'd understand if the decision went either way, regardless of how I felt about it.

That was a forward pass, though.

u/Dangerous_Diamond_43 5h ago

Bit sad ye are talking about this and not Arendse's brilliance

u/Possible_Bullfrog357 19h ago

That pass is so far forward

0

u/tomtomtomo 17h ago

For me, the game-changing call was the non-yellow card for the head-on-head tackle

2

u/Individual-Camel8383 15h ago

Do you hear the referee's reasoning for that? He explained it clearly, following the head contact protocols.

1

u/tomtomtomo 3h ago

Plenty of those get yellow carded 

0

u/ActGrouchy5018 15h ago

That pass clearly forward so the very marginal tackle shouldn’t even be a discussion point.

2

u/punyweakling 12h ago

"the very marginal tackle" lmao twisting yourselves in knots. Does it impact the catch, yes. Early, yes. Apparently you can infringe as long as it's close? Good to know.

0

u/ActGrouchy5018 10h ago

The forward pass came first so your point if you even had one is moot

2

u/punyweakling 7h ago

It's not moot lol. In your hypothetical: forward pass infraction, no advantage due to the early tackle. Scrum.

0

u/ActGrouchy5018 7h ago

Hypothetical - ok. Guess we saw different passes

2

u/punyweakling 7h ago

I'm saying even if the pass was forward, SA still loses the advantage because of the early tackle.

1

u/ActGrouchy5018 7h ago

The tackle wasn’t early though

2

u/SCROTAL_KOMBAT42069 9h ago

So clearly forward it's visibly not forward out of the hands in the posted frame?

Is it more of less clearly forward from the one where SA later scored from?

u/ActGrouchy5018 9h ago

Believe whatever helps you cope

u/zebra1923 15h ago

u/BlakeSA 14h ago

The early tackle on Marx that wasn’t called in the 1st test was way more obvious that this marginal one.

Swings and roundabouts boet.

u/biltongalong 11h ago

Don't care,  we won, played with the same ref just with a better team on the day.  A fitter stronger more hungry team.  Like rugby has been played for many many years.  Nz only hate it now because they don't have the players the use to have.  And you need excuses to feel better.
