I don't train Judo, did some (non-B)JJ few years ago and am just here for the throws. I thought blue had ippon because it looked like sutemi. Everybody says its white with ouchi gari and after rewatching i agree but what do you mean with "on guard"? It doesnt count when he's down or what?

It means that blue had to have a feet on the belt (tomoe nage) or in the inner thights (sumi gaeshi) to count as a sutemi, otherwise blue is just pulling on guard using the hand grip while keeping white between his legs.

It seems like you meant "thighs"? He wasn't wearing any tights 🙂
