Wasn't that outlawed in the early 90s? I remember David Kirk doing that.

the only way we could disguise that is if it was Luke Whitelock beating a guy with footwork. now THAT would be innovation

@mariner4life I know right, all these shit highlanders selected for the ABs from a side that was obviously garbage in super rugby due to the shit players. How'd the Chiefs go again?

Lol fuck it automatically made them ascending bullet point things
A lot of faith being put in Folau there.
@bones said in Bledisloe I:
@nepia I think it's debatable - seems the infringement would be the scrum half making the opposition think the ball is out of the scrum when it's not. However, if the number 8 picks it up at the same time then I guess there's no infringement.
Who's the laws nerd around here? A ref? Maybe they can offer some insight?

finished ahead of the Highlanders. With an obviously inferior group of individuals. Pretty good effort. Imagine how we would have gone if we had 4 All Black loose forwards instead of just 1?

Why are you making me do work! That's the opposite of why I go on the Fern. :pouting_face:
I'd have thought that 38f would cover it? The 9 is well away from the scrum before the 8 picks up.
@bones said in Bledisloe I:
@nepia is he though?
nah i reckon he is all good. You can't penalise him for running with his back to the opposition. Looks like a standard 8-9 except the #8 ran. woo hoo.
@bones said in Bledisloe I:
@nepia is he though?
Yep. He's left before the ball is picked up by the 8.
Obviously the B grade ref in charge of that game agrees with you though ....

I think it looks like the 8 has picked it up at the same time as the half darts - the 8 just doesn't move.
Edit: I'm sure it's much harder to judge in real time.
