We were very lucky that SA never really offered that much in attack.

Yeah? Looks bad? Geez Ped you must of wanted Pocock banned for a long time if you think this is bad. Ok I a kiwi, but I don't even know if his elbow has hit him in head as he ran past, he certainly has been knocked with McCaws hip on the shoulder as he tried to stand, but as I said when there was a suggestion Pocock maybe cited a few weeks ago, I thought that was ludicrous suggestion, and think this is too, even if Green and Gold seem to be trying to highlight it on main game review!! I wonder why that is
Ok sorry Ped, we obviously talking about different incidents, the one I talking about Louw is not trapped in a ruck, but just starting to get up from the back of one as McCaw runs past, I will see if I can find the one where he is trapped in a ruck.It's a little different from Pocock, who was being held and was trying to get free. McCaw runs in and perhaps elbows someone who is trapped in a ruck.
Based on the little evidence here though you can't tell if there is contact, but it still looks bad, because the judiciary is a fickle beast.
Personally I would prefer McCaw isn't banned, I think he's a bit past it (still a great player though) and if they do ban him it will just fire up the Kiwis even more.

first try was a forward pass

Diego Maradonna handled the ball more often than the SA 12 and 13.
If Louw was trapped in a ruck, it should have been an AB penalty for hands...

Another interesting call was the JP Pietersen intercept that was called back for a penalty to NZ but then the TMO immediately reversed the penalty for a neck roll. Even though it was the right decision in real time, I wonder what would have come of the situation had Pietersen scored? Would the try have stood given the original penalty had been reversed?
Great question the Jolly, never really thought of what happens in a case like that!!
