The Interference that cost the All Blacks the World Cup. Eben Etzebeth, retreating from an offside position inside his own 22, obstructs an All Blacks’ pass with a 5-on-2 overlap with no defending fullback. Deliberately ran through the passing lane to kill the play. He was penalised. That was all. He saves two-to-four points for the Springboks in a game that finished 12-11. The punishment does not fit the crime: Offside interference like this doesn’t warrant a yellow card, but a one-handed intercept attempt from an onside position does. This is cynical cheating of the highest order. Etzebeth should have been binned right then and there. The All Blacks were robbed of a try scoring opportunity they finish 80% of the time. This play and the knock-down by Etzebeth from the France quarter-final were disguised thievery.
