Yes it was early in the first half I think and got clattered round his head. Ref did just ignore it though it could t have been more obvious and in front of him.
I thought he killed us at the ruck the ref. When Tupou was picked up off the ground twice and carried back 10 yards his feet leaving ground twice ref didn’t call held and he almost ended in the in goal. Have the rules changed where you were held when both feet were lifted off floor? Or did I imagine that.
He wasn’t the reason we lost but I felt Wire go a lot of leniency in the ruck and being a step in front of the ref offside when pinning us reapeatedly in our 10/20.
You kind of just come to accept that they are inconsistent these days. We got rock all until second half and then the flood of evening up six against and penalties came to even the scales a bit. Unfortunately we didn’t capitalise and didn’t execute our chances.
