    I think that is a try, seems in control as it initially dots down

    What a carry from Dixon. Doesn't think he has it.....he does have it, I reckon.

    How unlucky if it's not given!

    Edit:Deserved the benefit of the doubt.

    Also, can't remember off the top of my head but isn't the law that you can't try to kick the ball away?

    NMS clearly tries to kick the ball away and it's his legs that cause the issue so would be a penalty try if that's the law, in my mind.

    Didn't think they'd give that but it makes it a big second half now! Canes have to come out and play. Barrett's kicking is hurting them big time

    Great work syd! The Canes are flustered. Barrett is playing himself out of the ABs 15, maybe even 23 - he looks rattled, and his place kicking is terrible.

    I reckon that 6-2 split on the bench is a masterstroke from Joseph, the forwards will be buggered by 60 minutes.

    That was pure class from Dixon, albeit with a just lovely move from Smith.

    Don't think it was obvious that nms 'clearly' tried to kick the ball away, he was practically horizontal trying to take Dixon.

    In fairness he came in very quickly. Looked out 5m when the ball was released.

    Dunno about that, I called it in real time from an internet feed. Thought he was definitely inside the 5m line. Assistant was 2 feet away from the throw.

    Don't think it looks like it in real time but in slow motion, it looks to me like he absolutely threw one of his feet around to dislodge the ball.

    Just watching replay there, absolutely tries to kick it with his left foot as he's hitting the deck.

    Just checked the laws and that should be a penalty so, to my mind, a penalty try if it wasn't given.

    Was definitely inside. Definitely a yard inside when he caught it.

    Yeah, it would have made the goalkick easier for Sopoaga...

    :D

    NB: under current laws, obligatory YC for NMS if penalty try.

    That's a law? You can't kick the ball out of a hand over the try line to dislodge?

    "When a tackled player reaches out to ground the ball on or over the goal line to score a try, an opponent may pull the ball from the player’s possession, but must not kick or attempt to kick the ball."

    Sanction: Penalty kick

    BB misses this and they need to really think about pulling kicking duties off him.

    Nonu could have stayed where he was there, referee called a maul. He must not have heard, moved and allowed clean quick ball for this attack.

    This kick is huge. Would mean 2 converted tries to get in front.
