This will be upgraded…. 14 vs 14 gives us a big end to this final.
Aaaand it’s just a yellow.
Nope, just been confirmed it won't be a red. It was very borderline but there was some mitigation which means Kolisi gets lucky.
Barnes and the TMO are the best in the business. Very clear, consistent and concise.
How can you waste such an opportunity? SMFH!
Hearing it now… my Swiss stream is a bit behind.
Ah, it's such a pity about this weather
NZ have had a few half opportunities….and they’ve fecked every one of them
For whatever reason, the refs don't ever throw the book at South Africa.
14v14 would have been far better viewing
Yeah, I don't mind Barnes that much. He gets a bad rap, and he is quite picky, but I also find he's consistent.
I certainly had that feeling in the France game... But I didn’t watch the semifinal vs England.
We’re at such a disadvantage having all the best refs in the world being English….all our games are reffed by second rate officials
HERE WE GO!!!
Inspired from Richie!
Great try! Come on NZ
Get in
Fantastic try.
NOW ITS A GAME
NOW ITS A GAME
That line out had a knock on in it
Brilliant try
EDIT: Disallowed, TMO strikes again
EDIT: Disallowed, TMO strikes again
Would be a shame if New Zealand didn't win
Mo' just made up for all those errors, in-fecking-credible.
Oh for god sake
Wonderful rugby 
new zeland always have that in them.
knock on. ffs!
Going to be disallowed for a knock on?
He's definitely a bit of an attention seeker (which Nigel Owens was too but didn't get such a bad rap for) but that means his communication is always very clear. It's such a tough sport to officiate given how many infringements you could call in every game that I think he does a fine job and certainly has tonight.
Brilliant score for New Zealand! Just what the game needed and what they've deserved in this 2nd half. Ah for fecks sake, knock on.
Knew it. Darn it!!
Damn... The commentators reckoned it was a knock on and were surprised it was let go.
Yeah no try, it was absolutely a knockon
That definitely looked like a knock on
Ah Jesus leave that try stand
How can you go back so fecking far. feck'sake.
I just wish VAR was this transparent...
The forward pass yesterday was too far back to disallow the try for Argentina but that isnt?
The officiating in this sport is becoming just as worse as the officiating in football
I love rugby officiating.
