    • @george474747

      The camera is not perfectly in line with the sideline, and it's not right down at ground level.
      Is there a photo of that moment from the cameraman visible in the background? He has a slightly better angle.

    • @george474747
      @george474747 Před 6 dny

      I think Cueto was probably in touch, but I wouldn't bet my mortgage on it. I'm about 80/20, maybe 90/10.
      Turf kicked up as his boot digs in, but that stops before it reaches the line. The question is whether his boot imperceptibly elevates in time. (Cricket catches prove camera foreshortening can be deceptive too.)

      Firstly coaching the boks isn't just always the brains. You have got to be able to handle the pressure of the public from an extremely hostile crowd that if you get 1 bad performance could end up on chopping block. I think if John wants to become a bok coach he should start coaching at junior levels first. Else we might have a Strauli or Tana (coach of blues)
