In this in-depth analysis of the Springboks vs All Blacks clash in the 2024 Rugby Championship, we dive into the controversial refereeing decisions that had a significant impact on the game. The spotlight is on referee Andrew Brace and TMO Brian MacNeice, whose calls (or lack thereof) have sparked heated debates among fans and pundits alike.
Key Moments Analyzed:
Bongi Mbonambi's Try Controversy: We examine the first South African try where Bongi Mbonambi seemingly lost the ball forward as he went down, yet the try was inexplicably awarded. Despite clear replays showing the knock-on, the TMO did not intervene, leading to widespread frustration.
Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu’s Goal Kick Incident: A critical moment in the match where the shot clock malfunctioned, leading to confusion. Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu repeatedly asked Andrew Brace for the remaining time, only to be informed too late, costing the Springboks two crucial points. We break down this incident, including Brace’s subsequent apologies and lack of accountability.
New Zealand's Double Banking Try: Another contentious decision where the All Blacks scored a try despite clear evidence of double banking. Siya Kolisi’s queries to the referee were dismissed, and once again, the TMO failed to intervene. We dissect this moment and its implications on the game.
Siya Kolisi’s Head Injury Incident: A dangerous head-to-head collision between Siya Kolisi and Sam Cane was not properly reviewed by the TMO, despite angles clearly showing the impact. We discuss how this missed call could have warranted a red card and changed the course of the match.
