And maybe your view will be vindicated by the wallabies selectors. I really like the bloke as a player, no skin off my teeth if he gets picked. Happy to run with it!

I think he started exceptionally well, and has gone off the boil for the last few games to being ordinary. I had him in my Wallaby team after his first few games but he would not make my squad any more.
Biggest disappointment for me this season has been Tupou, he does not seem to have the impact of last year.

Reg sometimes I wonder if I am watching the same game as others. He’s been great this season.

Tupou has been better these last few games. Got stitched up in the scrums earlier in the season by the refs and was a bit heavy coming off a big offseason.

Yeh Tupou has been great the past month.

Gee the Tahs clean out so well. Liam Wright didn't make any turnovers like he normally does. Some of Robertson's clean outs were world class. Also how Wells isn't in the Wallabies astounds me - Cheika's selection of Timu at 8 v Ireland last year over Wells looks horrible right now.

Yeah, Robertson does a lot of the real grunt work very well. Lots of hit-ups in close, lost of tackles, lots of clean-outs. Because he doesn't make any big barnstorming runs a lot of people don't rate him. He scrummaged pretty well too, the only scrum penalty against the Tahs came on Kepu's side.

Not sure if this link will work but on Phipps' chargedown of Hegarty is appears he was in front of the goal line before Hegarty's kick - surely the charge down shouldn't count??

Looks pretty fine to me. It's only right at the end of the video where you get the replay where you can see Hegarty's run up.
The attachment is just as Hegarty is starting his runup. Phipps looks like he isn't in front of the line to me. Foley is clearly in front but he doesn't advance and attempt a charge down.

Yes, you get to take the kick again with no charging.
I think Foley is pretty much irrelevant. A referee is never going to order a re-kick because someone who didn't charge was over the line when the kicker started his run up.
I think Phipps is close enough that it's also never going to get reviewed. Otherwise we'd have to look at a lot of missed conversions to work out whether someone charged slightly too early.
Maybe Hegarty should have pleaded for a review but at that point he's probably hoping that they're not going to show any replays let alone requesting for them to happen.

He was never stitched up, just think he has stopped moving so much and is getting a better base to work off. Was always going to happen, I said then that they would sort out his problems reasonably quickly.

Nah it looks like it's an urban myth thanks to Rugby League;

Rules don't specify anything like I was thinking, so perhaps I just picked it up from school/club land and never questioned it.

I always had the same belief actually. I remember all of us standing around the posts and never under.

Geez mate, you sound like me, we get all this info that we not sure where we picked it up from!! One of the reasons I dislike smart phones, I can tell mates an actual fact while we having a beer on sidelines, and the buggers can check it up and at times point out my fact isn't actually as factual as I thought!!

Must of been a league thing, we always stood under posts in NZ!

Half correct. It's a rule for penalty goals.
EDIT: the rule must have changed since I was playing, it appears you can now going by the graphic from the ROR:
