'Their heart rate is 200; emotion is very high all over the world'

This is the perfect opportunity to spend the 5 - 10minutes looking at it that they have been during a game.

Sorry to come back and rehash it with you. These are the views of the Wallabies mortal enemy, you can see them shared very fairly from the perspective were used on the Aotearoa Rugby Pod on youtube if your interested.

This difference in this situation is Morgan dove off his feet and had far more of a downward motion than is safe, this is what causes Tizzano to ‘bounce’ out of the ruck and leave morgan lying even short of his own player, rather than both getting pushed back off/over the player.

At all times his arms were at full stretch, he can’t really be criticized and that sorta thing is rightly overlooked. Only a foul warrants review in this situation.

TBF NZR have always maintained his signed from next year, so perhaps those the legalities of it, but boy I hope he can be selected if needed given that hes playing.

I don’t mind your (or the refs) view, but what Morgan said is accurate. Both Mils and Beaver agreed on the breakdown, and you will also get the same view from Aotearoa Rugby Pod guys for a pretty unanimous NZ view.

Sometimes when both players are low its a rugby collision and this is one of those times.

Not recently. In the SR finals and AB v Arg series weve seen players clearly bent 90 at the waist still be penalised, only when the attacker does something the ref sees immediate mitigation and rules a rugby incident. Tizzano didn’t offer that he was always in the position Morgan aimed to collect him in.

Happy to not throw the rule book at these situations but the precent is that they are in these situations.

many tries out wide the player is allowed to be tackled while diving

They are diving for the line, not to avoid being tackled.

“In principle, in a try scoring situation, if the action is deemed to be a dive forward for a try, then it should be permitted. If a player is deemed to have left the ground to avoid a tackle; or to jump, or hurdle a potential tackler, then this is dangerous play and should be sanctioned accordingly.”

You can read Nicks article for an updated discourse on this though.

Yes I couldn’t relate to the players from then, obviously some greats, but why I said “group of players” is just for that reason, more depth, but yes, not the same verve even though that was their focus for the tour. I was more going off what I’d read from their fans before the tour admittedly lol

JOC I don’t believe would be watching his SR form.

Ox is a sweetie pie. He would never call anyone a c*nt.

He’s simply in a position where he should be far more professional.

I don’t really follow much media, especially SM, but again, I’ve not seen anyone complaining. Plenty of ridicule and pointing out things like it being disrespectful to the game, but as far as the English language goes, that’s not complaining. Nick Bishop for instance hasn’t been complaining, he’s simply saying Galthie made a bad decision for France’s prospects (which when the common reply is ‘thats how it is’).

Complaining would be views expressing that the FFR should have put the tour back a week so that all T14 finalists could attend. Complaining would be saying they’ve been robbed of seeing the worlds best stars. Complaining would be saying players can simply take extra weeks off from T14. I’ve only seen advice and suggestions that these are things France need to look-at-for-the-future.

Basically I tried to communicate with French fans because they don’t understand what’s being communicated. ALL reactions I have seen shared here by French supports have all seemed way over the top compared what I’ve seen expressed about this tour.

the players are expected to play in too many matches, for too many minutes, and need more rest and recovery time.

This is the message I have been sharing. So something needs to happen, whether thats France pull out of more Internationals or rest players from more domestic games, who knows, but I also don’t think what they have now is working. It’s obviously much better than 3-4 years ago, but they appear to want to work even harder at it like you say. Personally I’ve only seen LNR be reasonable, I hear much less of their other internationals being denied/influenced not to play, so I imagine that they will give even further (as I can’t really see France pulling out the other international windows as well).

I reckon Tate could still have held up the try on half time. 10 point lead could have been a way different game.
