Saw this a couple of weeks ago and didn't think much of it until something similar happened again.
1st Game: Time off for injuries, subs, admonishments etc
2nd Game: No time off i.e. no injury time and clock keeps running for subs, AR reports, admonishments/cards etc
Red team attacking from about 30m out and 10m from side line and green 12 offside from ruck (about 20m from touch) so now playing advantage. Play moves forward and green 1 offside at ruck about 15m out and centre field. New advantage. Tackle and ruck about 1.5m from goal line and green 12 dives over ruck as ball is at the back but not out. Red 9 is just about to put hands on when green 12 dives over. Red 9 does manage to flick ball to prop who dives over.
Sequence of events from here.
1. Ref blows for try.
2. Ref blows for time off.
3. Calls green captain and green 12 out
4. Ref points out that he had played 3 advantages to red and that the 1st and last offences were both by green 12 with the last being cynical.
5. Ref gives green 12 a YC
6. Time on
7. Red kicker takes conversion
2nd game events were similar but not quite identical in that there were 3 offences with advantage but each one was by a different player. However last one was still close to the goal line.
Remembering that the 2nd game is a lower grade with no stoppage time, would you use the same sequence as in 1st game? The kicker has 90 seconds from when the try was scored to take the kick.
The ref did something different in this game that I thought was good but had people in the crowd a little confused.
I'll wait for some comments before saying what he did.
