World Cup. France-South Africa. We took a closer look at the match referee, do you like it?In question, the Springboks took control of the match at the end of the match thanks to a long-range penalty scored by Handre Pollard (78′). However, the effort left some jumping at the Springbok striker’s feet.

Indeed, the English foul called by the referee did not catch the eye of the spectators at first. Well above the fight or from the stands, oval ball fans could watch South African number 18 Vincent Koch must be absolutely perpendicular to the thrust axis This last scrum of the meeting.

RUGBY.

The famous Rugbynistère referee, Dédé intended Explain the game better for the jury to better understand the facts Stimulates discussions.

Our arbitrator describes his view of this controversial act as follows:

A camera above the fray is ideal for assessing thrust axes. At ground level, the umpire looks specifically at the free-head pole (ie the English left-hander) who is in the way… because the right-hander is in the way from the start. It’s obvious from the camera on the roof… but down below is much simpler. A single exit hooker with a champagne cork is an important indicator.

Also, Dédé Puildébut explains that flanker Pieter-Step du Toit is not exempt from all criticism. According to him, “Green pushes the 7 on the English post and this is also a mistake”, visible here with a red circle.
