Blues v Reds

[Gunner]

Penalty for collapsing a maul?

A maul that never went to ground and was marching forward?

Give me the whistle, I know more rules than this useless prick.

And he called a stop when it was moving forwards

[antipodean]

Excellent defence.

[Kirwan]

Some good signs in there, ref is making the game a lottery though.

Some zip in the rucks now that was missing in the first 20.

Need a new place kicker though.

[pakman]

Akira showing he knows what a dominant tackle is!

Not the first time he’s saved trys on our line.

Am I just being picky by saying this?
But it does concern me how Ioane is scoring his tries, by diving and planting the ball with one hand. He was doing it during the test series too, it’s got the potential to go wrong real quick, just hope it doesn’t happen in a close test match...

Nice try Moulds

Rieko has placed the ball like that his whole life. He isnt gonna change now.

[Bones]

Yeah I'm still not seeing this amazing potential in Hodgman...

[Gunner]

Probably a fair enough penalty there, BUT, the ref tells the 9 to use it, the 9 decides he knows better and doesn’t use it, a few seconds later penalty Reds?

Seriously, where did they find this ref?

[Nepia]

So, that's a penalty again now?

I don't subscribe to the theory a ref should determine when a scrumhalf should take the ball out of a scrum.

[Tordah]

The Blues and Reds should leave Super Rugby, invite the Sunwolves, the Rebels, the Kings and the Farce and open up a new competition called Shit Rugby

[Gunner]

@nepia as long as the ABs aren’t playing, yes.

[Kirwan]

It’s a miracle, he got a kick

[Gunner]

@antipodean yea fair point.

[Kirwan]

Great play up the field, then a silly knockon

[Nepia]

That looked like 2003 Blues rugby - I expected Braid's blonde head to pop up.

[Bones]

That was a bit shit by Nock, but what was Nanai doing? Either awful timing or awful placement.

[Gunner]

Oh wow, great decision making to take the quick lineout there.

[Bones]

Clarke not exactly covering himself in glory, a great propensity to go on his own towards the sideline and die with the ball.
