[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 737699, member: 20605"] Well, that's irrelevant really. He should not have been talking with his back turned. There is no basis in Law for a captain being allowed [B]time off[/B] to have a chat with his players, and its not a reason for time-off. If the referee tells the captain to have a chat, its up to the captain to decide when best to do that, but he still has to be aware that the game could restart at any time. Besides, how long does it take to shout NO MORE PENALTIES you your team. They should have been watching the referee. When he put his arm up, that is a signal for time on...professional rugby players ought to be aware of this. There was about 3 seconds before the Pumas player took the tap kick, plenty of time to set the defence. I seem to recall a similar thing in a EOYT match between Ireland and South Africa a few years ago. ETA: Found it. Ireland v South Africa, November 13, 2004 If the link doesn't take you to the right part of the video, its 28m 24s on the youtube video (19:00 on the game clock) [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=AOIx4U1dBck#t=1704"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=AOIx4U1dBck#t=1704[/URL] [/QUOTE]
