"Very little sports spirit": the publication about the Try of the Pumas that ignited social networks

Los Pumas They left Durban With a hard 67-30 down before the Springboksby date 5 of the Rugby Championship, But an unusual play that ended in Try Argentino generated a strong debate on social networks. The best of rugby, in Disney+ Premium Plan.

It’s about the revival of Santiago Chocobaresat 35 minutes of the first half. After Cheslin Kolbe will cancel in its own Ingal, the South African executed a drop Kick (as indicated by the proceeding of the regulation) with the intention that came out Damian Willemse From another position. However, the ball was held by Santa Fe, who supported the surprise of all.

This situation caught user attention Acclaimed Journalist (@Jonathan_witt) in X, who identifies as editor of the South African portal The Overton Press. “It was very obvious that Kolbe was kicking the ball to Willemse for the drop Kick. Very little sports spirit by Argentines and arbitration outside the spirit of the game“wrote.

Some coincided with the approach. For example, @peterhattingh marked: “Nor did it travel beyond the 5 meters required; it should have been an Argentine scrum in the worst case. But it was a moment of disguise.”. And @pietervorster9 expressed: “Even if it is judged that Kolbe had made the drop-out, the rules clearly establish that the opposing team must be behind the 22-meter line, the Argentine player was then in the off-real position.”

However, most South African users recognized the back error. “He kicked a drop. If he wanted to give it to Willemse, he should have passed it,” wrote @Mark_Smitheram, while @vick_mdb added: “Kolbe should have known. You can’t make a pass with kick when the play is, by law, an exit to the goal line. Argentines have a great understanding of the rules.”

“As a South African partner, you are wrong. A restart from the goal line requires a drop Kick, specifically so that the teams can kick, without drop, the ball to another player before the restart”argued @AFEHRSEN.

For @Pvtgmail “It was Cheslin’s mental lapse” And added: “I am sure he received the deserved punishment with fines after the game. A player of that caliber knows the rules; obviously it was not a level drop … It was simply stupidity. It happens.”

“I think the referee succeeded. If one of our players received the ball and we would have marked a try, would we have been impeded? How would the referee know if it was his intention or not? A Kolbe’s mistake, I never thought of something else.”remarked @byrongoldbergsa

Finally, @Gerthofhuis1 highlighted: “This debate about whether I should, could or would have changed anything. Kolbe made a beginner’s mistake and the boks paid him. He was within the regulation, and the argies took advantage of it. Simple. Let’s move on: we all make mistakes and nobody is perfect”.
