Wow, big call there.
Didn't look forward to me in real time.
Edit, yea it probably was forward.
Big ups to the ref for backing himself.I think the call was from the sideline. I had suspicions in real time.

Counties have gone backwards since last year. Leger is promising and handy with his left boot.
Agree. A unsettled back row and centres are contributing to that though. It is like every game is a new one rather than building from one to the other.

@Stockcar86 put this in the wrong thread
@Stockcar86 said in 2016 World Sevens Series:
Whats with the ref unwilling to blow penalties at scrum time. That Counties #8 was facing his own try line picking up that try the scrum had screwed so much
I agree with that example but more worryingly is that is seems to be a directive this year across all rugby to not apply reward to a dominant scrum if the ball can get out.
I am probably one of the culprits that disliked the imbalance of 'scrumming for penalties' but I think they have swung a bit far the other way.
I just seem to see in nearly every game a team getting their arse handed to them at a scrum but coming out of it almost in a better position. -
Good win for Harbour. Loving how they are playing this season.
Counties discipline was shocking. A number of off the ball penalties as well as some holding back that wasn't picked up.
TNW a class above and Laulala at fullback continues to improve. But Harbour forwards were dominant and they link well with a solid 9/10 combo.
Volavola was due.....
