[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1089733, member: 65365"] Yeah, it was an interesting one. I was saying to someone at half time that the brumbies looked like the better team because their defence was better than the blues attack, but the best you can do if you defend all day is draw, and the worst you can do if you attack all day is draw. What did you think about claims by Alan alaalatoa and the one eyed Justin Harrison that the brumbies were unfairly treated by the ref? Thanks actually thought it was the other way around; the brumbies were not rolling away all day and barely got done for it; a different ref could easily have penalised them ten to fifteen more times. Although I do think the call at the end was dodgy; it was a ruck so the brumbies player wasn’t allowed to go for it but the blues player had gone straight to ground thereby preventing any ruck contest. Interesting how much the interpretation of the laws change. It seems very recent that teams are allowed to get away with being slow to roll away, getting in the road of the halfback, and continue in from the side seems to be allowed much more than it was a few years ago, I presume they they got rid of the law about latching because that happens all the time this year. And it’s always been the case that some refs seem not to care that a ruck is already formed before someone puts their hand in it as long as they are on their feet. [/QUOTE]
