[Tim]

Havili's had a shocker in the 2nd half.

@antipodean , only D’Macs his first full game back in year..it’s just unacceptable he’s has not hit the ground running ..!

There's a big difference between "not being stellar" and "error ridden".

[KiwiMurph]

The assistant ref on the near side just doesnt see anything.

[Yeetyaah]

When's the card for holding on coming?

[antipodean]

Boshier again. All Black coach in the stand too.

LOL. I have never seen a card for that in rugby. This is what we have become!

[Yeetyaah]

@hydro11 what giving away consecutive penalties?

[Tim]

Goodhue has been rather average tonight.

A yellow card is meant to be for being cynical. If you are shit enough that you can't take advantage of getting consecutive penalties, play better at rugby. Don't have a whinge because you want more of a leg up.

[Yeetyaah]

@hydro11 not whinging, it's just happened a bunch.

Hell I agree with this, but it's not how the game is played these days unfortunately. It's not good a tall.

also, Justin Marshall - fuck off

[Yeetyaah]

Throwing handbags

@nzzp what's he saying?

[taniwharugby]

@nzzp about the YC? If so, I agree with him

[Duluth]

Reece getting in a scuffle with a man. That’s an improvement I guess

[Bones]

This is bullshit. Cruden was in front of the man with the ball and Makalio hardly even hit him anyway.

[antipodean]

Speaking of YCs, Meg Ryan crying for one for a player slightly held back halfway up the field.

Penalty is a reasonable outcome for the push and shove.

[nzzp]

Aside from two horrible missed tackles on Reece, the Crusaders have struggled to score points here.

That penalty could be the game.

Edit: for the second time, that penalty coudl be the game

[taniwharugby]

@antipodean was pulled back enough that the player he pulled from in front ended behind him, I agree on that one, cynical AF

[Victor Meldrew]

I really, really like DMac's attitude in wanting to mix it with the big boys despite his lack of stature.

But it's a bit fool-hardy to come charging into a mass brawl and try to pick a fight with a loose forward.....
