    1. CJ was right - the ball was dropped so the maul was over - open play (see Murray v Toulon)

    2. CJ didn't leave that gap

    He was right to stand offside arguing with the ref instead of getting back into the defensive line? No he wasn't. Amateur stuff.

    If he didn't go offside, he'd have either been still in the maul or rejoined the maul from the back. Either way he didn't leave the gap.

    Also we've already established he wasn't offside

    All the space in the back line with a pen advantage and Murray takes it directly into contact. Maybe instead of bigger players we really need players with a brain.

    Stander can't read the referee's mind and know that he would make that mistake

    This is totally irrelevant. If there had been a try there it would have been called back anyway.

    "Murray doesn't snipe enough anymore"

    *Murray snipes*

    "WHY IS MURRAY SNIPING?!?!"

    FWIW: I agree it was the wrong decision from Murray, but still. He tried something. Didn't work - back for the pen - no harm.

    Ref told him to get out and play on so he was offside and decided to argue with with the ref while play continued behind him.

    Doesn't matter how right anyone think he was about the maul being over you don't turn your back on play to argue with the ref in your own 22.

    Maybe a scrum for accidental offside?

    Accidental offside is exactly what I was thinking, forgot that wasn't a full penalty any more.

    Read the refs mind? The ref told him to get out. So stander stopped to argue with him instead of getting back into the defensive line.

    Would Larmour have thrown that pass? Or Kearney? I’m not sure.

    Can only assume the referee didn't see the ball go to the deck

    He called it as backwards, so I think he did. Just seems like a total brainfart.

    Wasn't, bit of caught the wind but no more.

    Keenan needs to be sat down and told you ground the feckin ball before you do anything else. Looking up before the touchdown is inviting a sliding knee in the head and asking for the ball to be dislodged.

    Larmour would have thrown the pass and still scored himself.

    None of our backs seem capable of drawing a man before passing

    Stockdale just turned into Finn Russell what the f**k!? Cracking score.

    Edit: that's flat out of hands for me.

    Another beauty from Stockdale. Could he be the replacement for Sexton we’ve been looking for? :eek:

    So so impressed with Burns, and Stockdale in attack is looking sharp.
