RugbyPass just forgot to publish the verdict of World Rugby on the way O’Keefe refereed this game. The Allmighty organism saw five major mistakes in the game including Kolbe’s early race and K.Smith hand on the floor.
We can still hope we’ll see this published here but it is available for any who want to see.
If Brace could be replaced so quickly, I guess O’Keefe could be too.
Gauthier, Kolbe is just that fast
With all due respect. the game has been played, final whistle has blown. RSA 29-28 FRA. we can not turn back time. in this world cup the game between RSA and FRA was the hardest and best of all games. to Come back to all the comments on the RSA FRA game. its funny how we all blame the refferee when our teams loose, we are human and it will happen. what we can do now is look forward to the semi finals and final. and we will meet again in 2027. My blood is green and will always be green win or loose you are all still our HEROES. go Bokke !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🏆
No comments on Kolbe who is in the field when Ramos kicks the ball. Why not call for TMO? ... Huget who played 6 years with them said they never succed to intercept Ramos.As for the h2h contact of Du Toit on Danty which is nothing more than an assault and deserves a red card...the video is cut and no TMO request either. Regardless of the final decisions, not using video for these 3 important situations is a mistake in itself that feeds the frustration of the other team during the game and tarnishes the image of rugby after.
Regarding etzebeth, his body being in motion, he transmits to the ball a force going to the French camp. His hand is flat and does not surround the ball, he cannot bring it back to his camp, nor any intention to do so. Just a forward even if probably a few cm. I believe that the referee's mistake is not to ask for the video, which would have allowed him to assess precisely the ball trajectory and evaluate the player's intention, which is to intercept not to bring back it.
For kwagga Smith contest Nigel Owens is wrong and the world rugby rules says :
Scraper: The scraper is the first teammate of the tackler to arrive at the scene of the tackle. He must stay on his feet and attack the ball directly. If he was already involved in the tackle, he must first clearly free the ball carrier before fighting for possession of the ball.On his feet: A player is on his feet if no other part of his body is supported on the ground or on players on the ground.South Africans and the Irish are the worst at supporting body weight, they reach over and lie over other bodies and quite often rest forearm on ground, Marx was probably the worst. Barnes for whatever reason will let this go in the final, think that'll allow South Africa to win the final for whomever they face.
Owens clearly believes Smith was supporting his own bodyweight.
He supports the ref for the Etsebeth decision but cant for the second just stating the law .
