[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 667325, member: 57076"] Right. I just don't think this applies enough here for this Arg SA test 2 in particular for one to say the officiating is catastrophic and one team gets away with all the world's vices in all impunity, and that's all that's in discussion here atm. We got smashed in the scrum, us, the "great French scrum", in [U]AUSTRALIA[/U] of all places last summer. I didn't start looking at the scrums with a microscope to pick up lice on a Wallaby's head that could've jumped on Thomas Domingo's head causing his terrible performance. Globally the Wallabies had the upper hand, were pushing us back, that's that. Unless there are MAJOR faults that aren't called like the ones both you ([B]Cymro[/B]) and I listed: hands or knees on ground, illegal angles, constantly collapsing scrum, binding issues; then I just say one team has the ascendency in the scrum, and that's exactly what's occurred here in Argentina. Didn't particularly want to make this into a long discussion, but here we are. [/QUOTE]
