Relatively little has been made of this. The center of attention has been the valid Bongi try. 

Wonder why?

It has been talked about here. 

Either the referee didn't judge it as an infringement, or he missed the same call for both sides, both with huge consequences.

The AB one led to a try for them.

The Bok one where PSDT finds himself in exactly the same position shielding the catcher as the AB 3 leads to a maul penalty and yellow for the ABs, meaning they face the last 10 minutes a man down.

In both cases though the offending player is a lifter who gets trapped by the opposition binding. They have no opportunity to move out of that position. So maybe both are okay and that's why neither were penalized. Who knows, I'm too stupid to understand how these calls should work, but at least you can say the referee was consistent in not calling either.
