[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1139279, member: 65365"] one thing I found interesting was the penalty try. I'd didn't hear the final decision and it's explanation but. Found it interesting the ref had been suggesting that if it was a knock on first the Welshman's actions would have been irrelevant. My thinking was this: a knock on occurs if the ball is propelled forward from the players hand and then either hits the ground or another player. Ok, sure, so based on that if he had touched it then knock on. But if the welsh player touched it illegally then you don't know f it would have been a knock on without his action, as he may have regathered it before it hit the ground. Thoughts? And then the willemse head clash. To me that was a yellow because there was a sudden change of direction and he was in a pretty passive position. He wasn't even in the act of making a tackle, he was just trying to get himself in the right position to do so. Would be pretty tough to call that a red for me. Yes he could have done better, so yellow. [/QUOTE]
