[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 881283, member: 45598"] When I first saw it I thought it was harsh but its pretty clear obstruction form the prop from that gif you posted Smartcooky. Evans bends his run to avoid the prop and still manages to collide with him before the other New Zealander. The prop is clearly not running towards the ball, and only goes towards the ball after Evans collides with him, with the 10 metre line on the pitch showing he's running not far off a perpendicularly to the touch line and not towards his own goal line which would be closer to what was needed to chase the ball, he might be getting done for his own lack of athleticism but that can't be a determining factor just as intent can't be. I think the other NZer did nothing wrong though. I know if it was given against Ireland I'd be calling it harsh but its a more than acceptable decision and probably the right one. [/QUOTE]
