according to the comentators on the Origin game, Because Thurston hacked at the ball after the try was scored technically speaking it wasn't a foul in the act of scoring a try, so the 8 point try was wrong to be given.

So there you go. You can kick out at the try scorer, not once but twice and it is just a caution.

Well as you can kick out at someone's head several times in the street and get away with little more than a caution I dont see the problem

Sorry, I thought this was a thread about rugby league.

Errrr since when is that relevant to this thread? If it is, then it's a good job Raynor didn't try to gauge someones eye out, or we really would have a debate (that has been done to death!!!!)

As said Rugby related please.

The challenge should be punished but hasn't and it wont until someone gets seriously injured or the Aussies start to penalise it through their disciplinary panel.
