[QUOTE="Derpus, post: 1101284, member: 76427"] Maybe next time they can start a new law interpretation at the start of a game rather than the end. The absurdity is off the charts - all these blokes saying 'I hope to see more of it' would be bleeding out of their ears with apoplectic rage if this happened to their teams. Saffas would have literally taken up arms and invaded France. Countless examples of penalties/kicks taking too long including Moungas first kick which broke the 90 second rule. Nothing? No new interpretation? No communication from the ref they are going to stamp time wasting out? No broader indication from anyone anywhere at all? I think what we are all missing here is the unwritten text in the rule, i.e. 'you must not cause unnecessary delay [I]against[/I] [I]the All Blacks in the 79th minute in a situation where the protected species might actually lose a Bledisloe game because we have no interest in making rugby a competitive viable sport in the Antipodes' [/I] [/QUOTE]
