Blues v Hurricanes

Why isn't the Blues captain telling the ref they'll decide what they'll do at the scrum thanks very much.

Same reason that players don't get penalised for joining rucks with shoulders below hips, it's just the way is done nowadays.

Edit. Not saying it's right, but if the scrum doesn't move they say use it

MN5

Those Ioanes are niggly fucks

Now he gets it. Bryant is inconsistent.

Chris B.

What did he mean, "We can't go on if they stand up"?

"So if they stand up illegally next time we still don't get a penalty try? You shoulda been reffing last week!"

Damo

That was stupid by those blues forwards. Obvious PK.

Steven Harris

Akira Ioane showing his temperament is way off the standard of international number 8, between him and Pulu the can’t figure out how to keep TJ out of pressing errors...very poor got the dominant scrum and still can’t get it right between them..

African Monkey

Shit we may have scored here.

Chris

Try

kev

Great try

Toddy

Some rubbish kicking from the Barrett brothers.

Donsteppa

Poor effort on D from Beauden

Stargazer

Right decision. Try.

Try

Agreed - no clear evidence he touched the paint. Good decision by the TMO.

African Monkey

I have no problem with Akira being niggly. Much rather that than giggling with the opposition like a lot of players do and Jordie Barrett shoved him in the face as well so it's not just Akira at fault there.

Papalii has been the blues best player by a long way tonight

This ref is a joke

Two weeks in a row. Just about every loss come to think of it ...

He does nothing that Brodie and Cane doesn’t do when playing for the ABs. Brodie in particular is the a big fan of niggle

African Monkey

@SammyC A great player who always gives it his all.

And some of the wins. Doesn’t mean I’m wrong.

Deserved try by Papali'i. Been awesome. Too bad it's only him, Faiane and a couple others who've come to play.
