@No-Quarter It's a common interpretation of the law by NH refs. I can't understand how it hasn't been clarified before now as while it makes sense for catching kicks, when a player chooses to jump to catch a poor pass or just because, they shouldn't benefit from that choice.

Congrats to Lions fans. Your guys made bloody tough work of it but got it done in the end.
Sure the ref made up a penalty to give the Lions the kick to win it, but he didn't cost us the match. That responsibility is 100% on SBWs shoulders. You. Fucking. Idiot. Please never ever play for the ABs again you asshole.
Bleh.

gutting, but I guess we didnt actually do much to warrant winning that game, lots of dumb plays.
Lions just wanted it more
-
Well played lions , deserved their win ,
We played some dumb rugby and probably deserved what we got

First All Blacks red card in 50 years - since Sir COlin in 1967...
That fluffybunny shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as Pinetree .

That's crazy, I've never seen anything like it. Makes an absolute farce of the game.

Cruden did more to lose that tonight than SBW. One brain fart is forgivable but repeated brain farts under pressure is not.
Well done Lions for winning that - they held their nerve and got there in the end. Also well done to most of the ABs who tried their best to try and stop about 4-5 guys from flushing that.
I don't put Beauden's kicking squarely on him, selectors have tolerated it for too long and haven't seen it as an issue.
