Where can one findout what was his score, according the the Ref's for the match. Late tackles, passes going forward ending up in tries, but Marius or Kaplen dno't see it, its shameless. To try and cover for all his mistakes, he hand-out two cards. What a game Jonker!!, hope you have now more Sharkes supporters Regards Hans Know everyone can see why Jonker will not be at the World Cup.

Truely a great game. As I recall the AB was standing off the ruck behind the ruck. To me he seemed to actually go towards and tackle the Bok player. I would also have to see it again to get clarity. Thanks again Thanks Dooley !

I will try and refer your comment to Bob and see if he can answer it. In the meantime I may be able to help. I don't remember that exact moment off hand. I will check the highlights and get back to you if that's okay. In a situation like you described, it depends on the circumstances. If one of the All Black players were standing off at a ruck and the Springbok ran into him whilst attempting the carge down, it would be okay as long as the All Black player didn't change his line to block the Springbok player. If he wasn't part of the ruck, and he intentionally changed his line to block the Springbok player, it should have resulted in a penalty. As I said though, it really does depend on the situation. I will check the replay and get back to you on that one mate. I hope you enjoyed the game as much as we did. Hi Horace,

Please enlighten me on a rule !! approx 3 min to half-time in todays's test (12/9/2009) 5 meters from the AB line. The AB won the ball in the loose. On passing it back a SA player wanted to charge down the kick (on SA left flank). He was physically tackled (blocked american style) in his charge. Is this legal ? Thanks Hi Bob.

Never having played in the front row myself, I may not be the best person to comment. I don't think the front row going down first is the answer though. Would't this be too close to uncontested scrums? As for the refereeing on the weekend, what a joke. Du Preez rippd the ball, and you can clearly see his hand applying downward pressure to dot it. Australia carried the ball into our in goal area, therefore 22m dropout. He followed the TMO's decision that the ball wasn't dotted, but Australia still carried the ball over our in goal area and then lost possesion. It wasn't held up, it was loss of possession, therefore atleast a South African feed to the scrum. @mike, I agree something isn’t coking 100% right in the battle of the front rows.

Consider this, Why dont the two front rows go down first and standing still, get their binds right. Then let the rest of the forwards lock in behind them, then feed the ball. If one looks at front rowers, they all have over developed upper bodies, arms and necks and most cant get their arms up in time to bind. Some clearly don't even bother. This is where all the chaos takes place. Especially the loose head, he really battles to get into position timeously and has to get his arm up and over past his head to bind - when the"hit" takes place, he's got no chance. Why would front rowers purposefully do something wrong in an attacking scrum 5m from the try line. I'am confused! The refs need to look at this? Continuous reset scrums just don't let the game flow! look at most wings, they dont even raise a sweat cos they dont get ball. The Scrums: who actually knows whats going on?
