Is Poite one of the few refs that can acknowledge a maul is able to collapse by itself? Good to see.

I thought all ref.s acknowledge that - have you ever seen the maul after a choke tackle be penalised for collapsing?

God, it's great to see Tomasso Allan on the end of a drubbing.

I see penalties go to the attacking team all the time when the maul has just collapsed of its own accord.

Why are some "deliberate" knock ons yellow cards and some ignored entirely? Garcia prevented a score there IMO.

I think he was obviously trying to get the ball, not just bat it away.
