All Blacks Going Backwards? Tony Johnson Dissects Surprise Loss vs Argentina
The DSPN is here to unpack all the important details of the All Blacks' 29-23 loss to the Pumas on the weekend. New Zealand's stumble has Martin Devlin and Tony Johnson trading fresh words for fresh frustrations. From misfiring lineouts to chaotic backline play, nothing seemed to click, and Tony doesn't shy from pointing out the recurring demons - aerial woes, dumb yellow cards, and wasted possession. Could an SOS to Wayne Smith be an option? The pair discuss that as well as potential selection changes to the back three and loose forwards, with the Springbok tests now under two weeks away. 00:00 Introduction 01:12 One Word to Describe All Black Performance 02:31 All Blacks' Poor Discipline 03:43 Possession & Territory Struggles 05:44 Historical Context &Comparisons 07:52 Backline & Player Performance 08:56 Strategic Adjustments Needed 09:40 Looking Ahead: Future Games and Strategies 11:37 Tactical Kicking Strategies 11:48 Springboks' Kicking Game 12:13 All Blacks' Kicking Challenges 14:03 Backline Coordination Issues 15:14 Wayne Smith's Potential Role 15:45 Argentina's Impressive Performance 16:42 Pablo Matera's Leadership 19:15 Tight Nature of Rugby Championship 21:14 All Blacks' Work Ons 21:35 Forward Pack Adjustments #allblacks #nzrugby #rugby #riseofrugby #rugbypodcast #sportspodcast #springboks #springboksrugby #southafrica #wallabies #aus #australia #rugbychampionship Website: rova.nz/podcasts/dspn-devlin-sports-podcast-network Instagram: @martindevlin_dspn TikTok: @martindevlin_dspn

Rugby Referee Analysis: Mathieu Raynal | Springboks vs All Blacks Rugby Championship 2023
Who could've guessed that a combination of Mathieu Raynal as referee and Ben Whitehouse as TMO, can be this bad. Let's get the first 20 minutes out of the way, no team deserves to win a game by playing that bad in the first 20 minutes. The All Blacks destroyed us, and made us look like kids. Shannon Frizell absolutely ran over us and made us pay at the breakdown. It's been a while since a Springbok team got overpowered like that. That said, the boks came back and didn't give up. There were moments where we had the momentum and where we started getting into rhythm but then we made stupid mistakes at times we couldn't afford to make them. So I know already people are going to talk about this being an excuse, when you lose 35-20, or when you're 17-0 down in the first 20 mins. No matter how good or bad the ref was, that is on you. But yeah, now let's focus on the officiating, because it was terrible. The main talking is obviously the Cheslin Kolbe try that got disallowed by Ben Whitehouse. It has to be one of the worst TMO decisions I've seen in rugby. When a TMO has clear evidence of grounding and a player whose hands are pressing downwards and touching the ball as the ball is touching the ground, and then he still manages to screw it all up by saying Kolbe's hand was never pressing down. How on earth is Ben Whitehouse a World Cup TMO if he can't even get that right? I knew he was a bad ref in the URC, but he is starting to become the Welsh Marius Jonker. His logic when making decision is absurd. Then you have him not even reviewing the questionable passes on the other Kolbe try and the Frizell try. Then there is him getting involved and spotting a neck roll from Lood de Jager, but after that he simply ignores all the other dangerous neck rolls and cleanouts. What was he doing? Then we have Mathieu Raynal who was just as bad. The Springboks simply had no chance at lineout because Raynal didn't apply the laws. The All Blacks were offside and standing on the Mark of Touch on almost every single lineout, and he called it once, then just never does it again. Then there is the the incidents where the All Blacks are pre-binding onto the Springbok Lineout whilst the jumpers are in the air. Not to mention the Marx try where 2 of the New Zealand player were cynically collapsing the mall 1 meter from the try line, yet they didn't even get a warning. Then there is just inconsistent calls all round with the breakdown and scrums. he had no control whatsoever. The best had to be when South Africa gets scrum advantage, we run 20 meters, which he never calls advantage over, then at the ruck, Lood de Jager, cleans out an All Blacks player, completely from the side and off the ball. Then Sam Cane comes from the side of the ruck, completely offside, goes headfirst into the back of the head of Faf de Klerk, and takes him out, all the while Eben Etzebeth has Ardie Savea in a headlock. And the ref manages to miss every single infringement and also ends up not giving the Springboks any advantage for the scrum. It was an absolute joke. At the end of the day, the All Blacks win us regardless of who was the ref. But boy, this game is making me extremely worried about the World Cup. Of this is the best that World Rugby has to offer, then we're in for a wild ride at the World Cup.

Dear World Rugby... WTF Was Wayne Barnes Doing??? | South Africa vs France 2022 Autumn Series
So Dear World Rugby, Wayne Barnes is the best referee you have to offer? I hope you witness this South Africa vs France game where your best referee absolutely choked in the last 15 minutes. I've never seen a ref be so affected by crowd noise as Wayne Barnes was last night, it's incredible that a referee with over a 100 caps, could not handle France playing against the Springboks, the moment was too big for him and he choked. He started off well and just got worse and worse as the game went along. Let's start with the good, the two red cards, I don't think anyone can argue with them, he dealt with it correctly and it didn't take long for and the tmo to get to their decisions, so I can compliment him for that. But that is where it ends. There were 2 other incidents that simply went unnoticed thanks to poor refereeing, and disgraceful acts from the TV director who simply cut out all important angles when it was required. The first instance was an South African Lineout, where Franco Mostert goes up for the ball, then he gets kicked in the Face by a French jumper, after he gets kicked, he gets a knee to his head and the ref and AR just ignores it. They then show the replay, which cuts out as it shows the slow motion of Franco getting kicked in the face, that is great TV from the broadcaster. Then the other one was Cheslin Kolbe running with the ball, stepping inside and getting a shoulder right into his face from a French player, the play never gets spotted. The tmo never sees it, then the replay again cuts out before they show the illegal hit, that is just disgraceful. Again, He got Pieter Steph Du Toit's and Antoine Dupont's red cards spot on, but simply ignored all the other instances. Then there is the sealing off penalty against Eben at the start of the game. This was a soft penalty and I point this out as important, because Wayne Barnes simply ignores France doing it the whole game after that. So if he is going to penalize South Africa for it, why does he ignore it the entire game after that penalty? Why? Not to mention Wayne Barnes continuing to let play go on after Jonathan Danty took the shot to the head by Pieter Steph du Toit. Danty is laying there motionless on the ground after that hit, and Barnes just continues to let play go on, even after the play is literally running into Danty. What about Player Safety? Then there is the Deon Fourie Yellow card, prior to that SA gets a lineout 5m from the French line. The French concede 2 penalties in a row by collapsing the maul, the 2nd one being cynical as the maul is going forward toward the line before it is collapsed. Siya asks ref about warning, but Wayne Barnes says no, it's only been 2 penalties in that region so far. Then SA goes to touch again. France comes in from the side, and shoves early, they illegaly stop the maul, but the ref misses everything and they stop the maul. Luckily the Springboks scored in that sequence, but France got no card despite multiple infringements 5m from the line. Fast forward now to the Deon Fourie incident. First off the lineout is clear obstruction. The Jumper loses his bind to the ariving player as he transfers the ball, which means the ball should come out immediately or it's obstruction, instead the ref misses it. The maul forward and Deon Fourie eventually collapses it. This was the first penalty by SA in their 22m region in a very long time, they got no warning as well. But Wayne Barnes gives Deon a yellow card without hesitation. So where the hell is the consistency? Then there is the try. In what world was that a legal try? The French player is literally elbow down, head down on the ground when he is short the first time. He then goes again but is stopped by de Allende, he then even goes for a 3rd time when he crawls to score the "Try", and Wayne Barnes gives the try, even though it was the clearest of clear double movements you will ever see. The TMO also confirmed the try which makes no sense at all. Honestly I can say so much more, but just watch the video, it's hard to explain. The stuff that happens in the last 20 minutes is absolutely ridiculous. How many more games are going to be affected by officiating before refs are held accountable? Here was an example of World Rugby's best referee, and he choked in the biggest moment. Will he be punished? Will he face the consequences? Or will the Northern Hemisphere fans make excuses for him? How many screw ups do you need to see, to see how bad officiating has become? When will you wake up to it? Stop believing World Rugby, their review system is complete BS and everyone knows it, except the Northern Hemisphere fans. Rassie Erasmus did the right thing when he exposed World Rugby, they can't hide anymore. They should face the truth.

Dear World Rugby... WTF Did We Just Watch??? | South Africa vs Ireland Autumn Series 2022
The title says is it all to be honest, I've never seen a referee be as one sided as this game. I was absolutely dumbfounded after watching the South Africa vs Ireland game, it was supposed to be a massive clash between two giants of the game, yet all we got was the referee making mistake after mistake after mistake. Also conveniently all those mistakes happened to go against the Springboks, the ref simply ignored anything that Ireland did wrong. Where to start? How about Ireland's first try, let's look back a few moments before that. Kolbe goes for an up and under, which South Africa regathers when Pieter-Steph Du Toit takes it, and loses it backwards, yet the ref somehow says that South Africa lost it forward, so he gives scrum to Ireland. SO let's go to the scrum, they have the feed. The springboks pressures their scrum, their scrumhalf is under massive pressure and in the process of trying to pass, Jaden Hendrikse hits his arm and he knocks the ball on. Yet, the ref somehow says Hendrikse lost it forward. So Ireland gets the the scrum again, the get the feed. Immediately after the feed, their Tight head collapses the ball, his head hits the ground immediately, while Steven Kitshoff is still up because he did nothing wrong. Yet, the ref somehow makes up a penalty and says Kitshoff went down, despite the evidence completely contradicting what the ref saw. So 3 crucial mistakes in quick succession, surely it can't get worse, but it does. Ireland gets the Lineout, off the lineout the ball goes to Sexton, who gives a massive forward pass when he got hit by Jesse Kriel, the ref just ignores it. They then go on to get another penalty which leads to their first try. So 4 crucial mistakes by the ref, all against the Springboks, gives Ireland a free try. Then later in the game the following happens. Ireland kicks the ball, Damian Willemse regathers it, he gets tackles. Ireland now tries to counter ruck with their hooker, Dan Sheehan, who then puts his boot out and kicks the ball out of the ruck. Ireland then regathers, and goes on the counter attack. The ball goes to their prop, Andrew Porter, who gives a questionable pass that looked forward, to Finlay Bealham, who passes it to the backline. This whole move ends up in Ireland scoring their 2nd try by the likes of Mack Hansen. The ref then asks the TMO to just check if they didn't go in touch when they turned the ball over at the ruck. He completely ignores the ball being kicked out or the potential forward pass. Then the ref's inconstancy truly showed it's colors at the end of the game. Franco Mostert makes tackle, he then gets up to start counter rucking, while counter rucking, he kicks the ball out the exact same way as Dan Sheehan. Eben Etzebeth picks the ball up with nobody in front of him and support players to the right of him. Yet, the ref penalizes Franco Mostert for kicking the ball out. So how on earth can the ref defend his decision if he complete ignored it when Ireland did it? How is it possible for an international referee to be this one sided in a massive game like this? Dear World Rugby, You should be embarrassed by the performances of Nikola Amashukeli, Stuart Terheege and Andrea Piardi. The only one who remotely deserves any praise is the one French AR, Mathieu Raynal.
Why Was This Try Disallowed? | South Africa vs Argentina 2022
This is not a video attacking the ref or anything, I legit would just love to know what this law is and where I can find it. This happened in The Rugby Championship game on South Africa vs Argentina. This just looked like a clear try to me but as Mostert slaps the ball backwards after it initially went forward. The ball lands behind the point where it went forward from Mostert which I thought just meant it went backwards. So after the try is scored they go on to check it and they took a long time to go over multiple angles, despite the angles clearly showing what happened. So don't know why they had to spend so much time with that but any case. Then the ref, James Doleman, sees it and says something interesting. He says because it initially went forward from Franco Mostert's hand, that he had to regather it before it hit the ground, else it's a knock. That is confusing to me because how is it lost forward if the ball ends up behind the point where you touched it? I'm certain I've seen stuff like this happened, especially at lineout and it's deemed backwards if the ball is slapped back, no matter if it went forward. It's just a very confusing law that I tried to research but there is nothing on World Rugby that states it's still forward if the ball is slapped backwards because the ball has to be regathered. It's also a law that doesn't make a ton of sense to me which is why I find it weird. So I honestly couldn't tell you if this was the correct call or not, I have no idea about this wrinkle in the knock on law. If you know something I don't or know where I can find out more about it, please post it in the comments. Would love to check up on it.
