L'arbitrage de Barnes analysé

Un journaliste du NZ Herald a demandé à l'un des 10 meilleurs arbitres néoz d'étudier le travail de Barnes dans le 1/4 de finale entre la France et les All Blacks. Alors vous allez me dire que comme c'est un néo zélandais, il va crier au scandale....pas forcément...voici l'intégralité de l'analyse (plus bas) alors en gros il trouve que Barnes a été correct jusqu'à la mi-temps, qu'ensuite il s'est délité et que les arbitres de touche l'ont pas aidé. il trouve que dès le premier ruck il a pas mis assez en garde les 2 équipes (du coup les 2 camps ont pourri les sorties de balle tout le match)Barnes aurait du siffler à peu près 10 pénalités de plus pour les blacks et 1 pour les français. Par contre, si notre analyste n'aurait pas explusé Mc Allister, il aurait par contre mis un jaune à Kelleher et à So' oialo. Moralité : les blacks aurait du avoir 2 jaunes...Sur l'essai de Jauzion, notre analyste **°_°**çoit que Barnes ne peut pas voir l'en avant de passe entre Traille et Michoko mais que l'arbitre de touche était lui bien placé...
Voilà, alors certes c'est plus facile d'arbitrer devant sa télé que en vitesse réelle, mais la question de l'abitrage mérite d'être posée...Le match aurait pu prendre une tournure différente dans un sens comme dans l'autre..(c'est pas pour dire que les francais ne méritent pas la victoire mais pour souligner un arbitrage déficient)
De plus c'est la vision de cet arbitre..peut être d'un autre arbitre aurait analysé différemment l'arbitrage de Barnes...l'erreur est humaine

Par contre désole mais c'est en anglois....

OPENING MINUTE
First ruck of the game. Barnes calls for a scrum. Barnes let this ruck run for far too long, with players from both teams off their feet - he should have called for a scrum five seconds earlier. He should have sent a message to the players that he was not going to stand for slow ruck ball. A trend for slow ball is set - he has already started to lose control of the ruck.
15.00
French deliberate knockdown, advantage All Blacks - Ali Williams crashes over in the corner. Try is rightly denied by TMO, but Barnes does not return to advantage. He should have come back for a penalty kick in front of the posts for the All Blacks. This is an easy thing to forget when you are getting carried away with a TMO decision; perhaps the TMO or touch judge could have reminded him of the advantage.

20.00
All Blacks called for a forward pass on a double-round, while they are on a roll at half-way. This was a flat pass or at best six inches forward.
21.20

The scrum wheels and Barnes calls for it to be reset, with France keeping the feed. Wrong - should have been a penalty against the All Blacks for "whip wheeling". The All Blacks essentially took weight off one side and transferred it to the other, meaning the scrum screwed but looked like it was the French. The All Blacks formerly called this the "quarter-horse". They should have been penalised.
23.45
Penalty kick against the All Blacks for killing the ball. This came after three penalties against Richie McCaw for similar offending. There was a trend of killing the ball. I would have given a yellow card to Byron Kelleher here.
35.20
Keith Robinson is penalised for being offside at a ruck. Wrong. The French halfback had his hands on the ball and Robinson timed his run perfectly.
39.35
France kick first points after Ali Williams is penalised offside in a maul. Wrong. Williams was legally there and had been bound since the start of the maul. Not a penalty.
HALFTIME
Barnes was composed and going well.
40.40
French have "pillars" standing up offside as guards at the front of the ruck. This is a blight on the game and ruins the pick-and-go "channel one" for the attacking team. Barnes is giving French defence way too much latitude by letting them stand there. I would have awarded a penalty for obstruction.
43.52
All Blacks kill French ball during a breakout where the French are heading for the tryline. Rodney So'oialo is lying all over the ball. Dan Carter is so far offside he should have had a dark-blue jumper on. This is professional foul territory and I would have given So'oialo a yellow card. Barnes would have looked dumb doing this because he hadn't given any warnings. He had let the trend flourish.
46.00
Luke McAlister is sinbinned. Clearly Barnes has got it wrong. You are allowed to shoulder each other. McAlister is bigger and stronger and had some momentum coming across. The French milked it. I would have played on.
47.52-48.08
All Blacks are hard on attack. The French "guard dogs" at the bottom of the ruck are way offside. This should have been a kickable penalty for the All Blacks. This is close to English touch judge Tony Spreadbury's touchline and he should have called offside. Barnes may not have been able to see it. Instead, French are able to stop the All Blacks getting over the gain line and take away the option of going down the blindside.
54.30
French try while McAlister is in the sinbin. The try came down to numbers. If Barnes was feeling bad about the sinbin decision, this would have exacerbated it.
59.05
All Blacks on attack. Sebastian Chabal kills ball and gives time for French defence to set up. Offside. This should have been a kickable penalty for the All Blacks. Barnes should have penalised and warned Chabal to get off the ball as he was doing to McCaw earlier.
60.00
Barnes showing signs of fatigue in this high-pace game.
60.12
A ruck is called by Barnes - but Chabal still picks it up in a crucial turnover for France. Hands in the ruck. Again, a kickable penalty.
64.20
French put up up-and-under at about halfway, several players offside do not back up to the 10m line before they are put onside and at least two tackle the All Blacks, cutting down the options. Offside. Should have been a penalty for the All Blacks. This is another penalty the touch judges could have helped call.
60.53
France get a penalty for Jerry Collins offside at a scrum. Wrong. The scrum had gone 90 degrees and should have been reset. The French No 8 had detached so Collins was legally allowed there; it just looked bad as the scrum had wheeled.
67.59
French throw forward pass and score. Barnes is coming across the field from the breakdown and behind the play. There are players obstructing his view and you just cannot guess if a pass is forward or not. Touch judge Jonathan Kaplan is only two metres behind with a clear view - surely he could have called this?
73.58
French openside flanker is offside at ruck, cutting down options. Barnes lets it run - but it should have been a penalty.
76.31
French have hands in ruck and are offside. Barnes is on the infield side. These offences should have been clearly obvious to touch judge Spreadbury.
77.48
French number 21 and 9 miles offside and spoiling the ball. Barnes again on infield side - touch judges' call.
79.05
Advantage All Blacks, McAlister takes dropkick and misses. Barnes does not come back for the advantage - which would have been a kickable penalty. There has been debate among referees as to whether we should come back for the penalty in these situations as many of us believe advantage has actually been used in the drop goal attempt. I agree with this. However, a big game like a World Cup quarter-final is not the time for such "sharp practice". Barnes may also just have forgotten to come back given all the pressure. Both ways he has erred.
80.49
Turnover to France, but their players are offside. Should have been a kickable penalty to the All Blacks.

Merci Screamin d'avoir été nous chercher cet article en terres anglo-saxonnes.

Si la conclusion générale est qu'il n'y a pas holdup, l'arbitre confirme les trois gros points de litige: le carton de Mc Alister, le grattage de Harinordoquy et l'en-avant.

Sinon, je trouve qu'il est un peu sévère avec l'arbitre. Il dit qu'il n'a pas été assez clair pour faire des rucks propres. Or sur les trois premiers rucks, il siffle contre les néoZ pour calmer leur aptitude à rentrer dans les rucks comme des sauvages. Simplement, quand les deux équipes décident de tout miser sur cette zone pour paralyser l'adversaire, l'arbitre a beau être excellent, il est mis en difficulté.

Quand cet arbitre dit qu'il manque 10 pénalités pour les Blacks contre une pour les français , c'est ambigüe , parce que , comme il le dit aussi,, l'arbitre n'a pas sanctionné les fautes sur les ruks et les français ont continués à abuser . Ce qu'on peut interpréter par le fait que s'il avait sifflé la première de ces 10 fautes , les français auraient fait gaffes et n'auraient pas fait les 9 autres .

Concernant l'en avant sur l'essai de Jauzion , il ne remarque ,que l'en avant entre Traille et Michalack ou signale-t-il aussi un en-avant entre Michalck et Jauzion ? Je vois pas d'en avant entre Michalack et Jauzion ,mais certains ( dont Berbizier ? ) disent que Michalack passe en avant malgré qu'il soit tournés vers son camp ?

Il ne faut pas obligatoirement en conclure que ces erreurs d'arbitrages auraient inversés le résultat , parce que tous les scénarios sont possibles .

Exemple : 76 eme minute , pénalités pour les Blacks , et ils passent devant 21 à 20 . 78eme minute, sur le renvoi , faute d'un néo-zélandais ( bousculade d'un joueur adverse... obstruction...reprise hors-jeu d'un en-avant ou milles autres joyeusetés que peut siffler un arbitre ); 79 eme pénalités de Beauxis et la France gagne 23 à 21 .

Je sais pas ce que cherche cet arbitre dans sa démonstration ? Peut-être à prouver que le rugby est difficile à arbitrer et qu'il faudrait inventer un robot ? Ou une commission d'arbitre qui se concerte pendant 10 mns aprés chaque action avant de prendre une décision ?

De toute façon , les erreurs d'arbitrages en rugby , j'en entend parler depuis mon adolscence avec la finale de 62 entre Agen et Béziers et l'essai victorieux de Méric ; en passant par les commentaires de Roger Couderc lors des matchs du Tournois , le placage de Dubroca sur Cantoni en 76 , sans oublier la finale Agen/Biarritz avec le retour dans ses 22 de l'ailier australien avant son dégagement en touche et la cravate de Puelotto sur Lafforgue non sifflée .
