@dingo I realise that, but they cant just let the try stand after the foul play and he picked the ball from an offside position...so many reasons to call it back.

Why was he offside? I didn't think there was an offside line formed.

Yeah, I know...and might agree..but thats not what they ruled.

[Donsteppa]

NMS lacking in pace there...

[taniwharugby]

@damo it came off a HUrricane and he was in front of the player...

[Tim]

NMS looks every inch an ex All Black.

[Donsteppa]

The Canes defending like they're the team with a player down.

[Stargazer]

Man, this is suddenly intense, just before the break.

[Stargazer]

That was an awesome pass to Li.

[Donsteppa]

Canes ultimately pay the price for Ardie taking the quick tap...

I didn't see that but hopefully they show a replay at halftime and I will have a look.

Great try, I was screaming at the canes to run with Smith, but no they wandered

[Tim]

Hurricanes have been really inaccurate tonight.

[taniwharugby]

@machpants pretty dumb really wasnt it.

@dingo The penalty had already been given, before they ruled on Squire (and the bus).

If that is the case, what was the penalty for?

Sounded like the ref said the YC trumped the penalty

Yep. Good defence for 39 minutes and then lose it.

Even tj commentator picked it up it was so obvious

[Tim]

@dingo Dropped the ball from set piece attacks like the Blues.

Gnawing fingernails down to the bone is occasionally more enjoyable than watching 'canes play when they are in dumb/stupid shit mode.

[Tim]

@dingo Welcome to my world.

[Tim]

Hats off to the Highlanders, they've changed their game and have kept it in hand tonight.

LOL @ Millner-Scudder in the All Blacks. A bad joke.
