[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 328995, member: 24910"] Good analysis Dizzy. One point though, there was only one person who doubted Thorns ability (rugbywriter), and its been well established that his opinions have little credibility - I haven't seen any other posters even remotely doubting Thorns ability. A question for anyone who knows the rules well (e.g. Smartcooky?): When NZ had a rolling maul in the second half the South African players were peeled away so it was just just the NZ players bound together walking forwards. When a South African player then touches this 'maul' surely this should be an obstruction penalty against NZ - indeed the South African players seemed to be appealing for this. Should there have been a penalty, or is there a different rule in play here considering that it started as a maul? [/QUOTE]
