The laws are clear though. Tackler has all the responsibility to land the player safely. Players know they can't lift opponents past the horizontal. Refs can't ignore laws even if they want to. By rights it should have been a yellow so lions can't really complain

The point being that he didn't lift him beyond horizontal - SBW caused that by trying to adjust himself for the offload.

Anyway, interesting to see Barrett defending at fullback, but remaining at 10 in attack.

Again not disagreeing but ref will always put emphasis on tackler. Barrett has been superb. Vunipola off as well now. Good lions subs I reckon. Just need to get teo out of there.

Brilliant offload from the 8.....Connor Murray could have risked a yellow by just jumping on the ball since the penalty was already coming. Would have been cynical but sure an all black would have done it

They checked for the knock-on and grounding but not the 3-yard forward pass?

You're going to have to be clearer on what pass you mean. Bear in mind a try can't be disallowed for something you've imagined.
