Nah, they train for such contingencies. Or should if they have a good coach.
NZ View: 'Eight-week ban' wanted for 'full on grub'. While we rage at ref, Kiwis blow up at Wallabies 'villain'
Even as an AB supporter, I felt it was a hollow victory. I have revised my opinion
Check the replay. Look at the WB players behind Foley and the ref. – they were shouting at Foley to hurry up with the kick, and expressed their dismay and frustrations with him immediately, so it appears that they could see the danger of the delaying tactics.
It was a legal ruling. If it had happened in the first minute, there would have been no comment. It was a brave decision to make the same ruling in the 79th minute. Good on him.
Time wasting is a scourge in the game. Maybe the RW authorities have instructed the refs to apply the existing law more thoroughly.

Last week I wrote that the AB played like the Boks – too much pointless barging.
I pointed out that the way to defuse the very effective rush defense was to put the ball behind the defenders with grubber or short kicks into space. So glad to see this performed.
I could be a coach????
It’s all about the destination for this All Blacks side, even if we're unsure how they got there
There did not seem to be a Plan B.
All the opposition have a fast defence these days. Cheika’s half time instruction was to the defensive line to come up even faster. No attempt was made by the AB to to turn them around with grubbers or drop into space.
Did Ian Foster just have an epiphany? If so, will we see it in selection or game plan for Saturday?
Marx played for 50 min. It appears to be the maximum in these days of interchange benches.
'We need time': Foster left hanging as NZR ducks decision, coach lashes out at 'vicious' treatment
Quite a few negative comments about the BB. I’ll have many lovely memories of his Individual brilliant tries. He hasn’t won the best player in the world prize for no reason.
Has he lost his speed? Age catches up with everyone?
The victory that surely condemned Ian Foster
The Raiders have historically had the most bad calls against them.
Deja vu drama as Dragons denied chance to take Raiders to golden point by last-second call
If the ref had pulled a rd card instead of yellow for the exactly same infringement, and tax AB had won, would all this introspection be going on?
In one of the last two Irish tests, BB picked up a loose ball and had a clear run to the line. Instead he seemed slow and kicked ahead. A few years ago you could chalk up 7 points automatically.
Has time caught up and has he lost his speed?
Coach’s Corner: Why Foketi is serious contender after Samu blow, which No.10 gives ABs best shot to beat Boks
Yes. That was expensive and dumb/arrogant.
Wallabies DIY player ratings from the 3rd England Test: Wright again and Marika magic
Much as I hate watching a game between 14 players against 15, my first reaction when Rettalick’s head was attacked in an identical manner to the red card in Dunedin, was “Karma, let’s see if Ireland can do better with one man down”.
I could not believe my eyes when I saw yellow come out. Such inconsistency is distasteful. What was the assessment by the quartet of refs?
Rugby News: SCG piddler on the roof banned for life, Kirwan says All Blacks must back or sack Foster
An understandable but hysterical reaction.
Any team playing with 14 (and sometime 13) players is a very tough ask. I know that the Aussies did it, but historically it is rare.
Did the fans react the same way when SBW was sent off early against the Lions?
'You're a s--t Richie McCaw': Brutal sledge that sums up All Blacks' falling stocks as Kiwis slump to all-time low
True, but every player in the world would be a s…t Richie McCaw
'You're a s--t Richie McCaw': Brutal sledge that sums up All Blacks' falling stocks as Kiwis slump to all-time low
This was the most obvious sickening red card of the season. I could not believe it was a penalty/yellow decision. Mitigating factor in what could have been a broken neck?????
How the Brumbies lost their semi-final ‘State of Origin’ against the Blues
Cannot see McReight in the squad. One small number 7 is plenty thank you.
'Playing too well to leave out': The Wallabies selection headache forced by McReight's great leap forward
Is Barrett OK?
Barrett concussed as Blues repel late fightback from winless Highlanders
Noah Sol is so talented that he will be picked to start the game and also be on the bench. WIll he replace himself?
Super Rugby Radar: Brumbies again Australia's testing material
Wow. Why didn’t I think of that. Is he injured?
The three things the ailing All Blacks need to return to the top
The semi-final against England was the wake-up call. I remember that a prop was not picked for the WC as he was not fast /aerobic enough. Mobility was preferred to strentgh and mongrel.
Fair enough I thought. They will run them off their feet and win the WC in style. Yeh, sure.
The three things the ailing All Blacks need to return to the top
A fair penalty.
Who would be a ref these days if every mistake, real or imaginary, is open to analysis and sometimes used as a threat.
Threatening officials and using video “evidence” of mistakes is blackmail. Should have been spanked harder.
Ref-bashing is am appalling sport
BANNED: World Rugby punishes Rassie Erasmus over ref rant
Could have mentioned the starting time AEST
Barrett picked over Mo'unga for milestone match as Foster names stacked team to face Wales
Lolesio’s “form dipped when playing against the AB” ???
The entire WB team’s formed dipped playing against the AB. Not unusual for teams facing the AB. An unfair standard to apply to just one player.
WALLABIES SQUAD: Skelton returns, Perese gets another shot, Noah left behind
A bit hysterical. Australia benefitted greatly by having to blood a large group of youngsters and give them international experience. No-names have become a permanent members of the WB team.
I expect a throughly competitive ganme for 60 min before teh AB run away with the result, but hell, is that a unique experience??
'Stupidest fixture ever': The 'cynical, money-making ploy' that exposes Wales to All Blacks' annihilation
A very heavy Aussie bias.
The WB are very lucky that they played the Boks while they were comatose. If they had played them yesterday, the sections may have been very different.
No place for Artie Savea?? A joke?
Seven Wallabies, five All Blacks and three Boks in our Team of The Rugby Championship
A lot of the AB errors were a result of being outplayed bt the loose forwards. The SA loosies seemed to be far faster to the breakdowns and also stronger.
A narrow escape: what worked and what didn't for the All Blacks
Hey is highly rated. He apples the laws consistently.
I bet you time wasting will greatly diminish
