New footage from the first Bledisloe Cup test match has shown Wallabies fly-half Bernard Foley ignoring referee Mathieu Raynal in the lead up to the questionable time-wasting decision which handed the All Blacks victory.
Stan Sport played the footage on Thursday on the panel show Rugby Heaven, where the French whistle-blower can clearly be seen telling Foley to not kick a conversion.
'Wait please. You have to wait. You have to wait!' Raynal yelled at Foley as he was lining up the kick.
It is understood Raynal at the time was seeking clarification from the television match official (TMO) that there wasn't a forward pass in the lead up to a Wallabies try.
Foley somewhat arrogantly piloted the ball between the posts regardless - and former Australian scrum-half Will Genia believes the conduct of the no.10 at Marvel Stadium would have infuriated Raynal.
