That Blues backline....

The ginger runs sideways and Black is deep to compensate. Then it's poor execution from there...

Rebels inability to exit should cost them bigtime. If we can hold the ball.

Big if.

Blue sky thinking

It is a knock-on when a player, in tackling or attempting to tackle an opponent, makes contact with the ball and the ball goes forward

Karl T is monstering the Rebels scrum

Off any body part? Interesting.

I had to look it up, but they only reference the arm in other sections.

SO yeah, interesting. Mind you, the laws as written, adn the laws as applied are completely different

[nzzp]

fair call by the ref. He latched onto that ball - why no penalty try I wonder? Considering what they give them for otherwise

[ARHS]

How is that not a penalty try?

because the standard of refereeing is abysmal. I love me the Blues, but that was clear as day

[antipodean]

Rebels robbed of a try by Pickerill.

If you card a player a metre from the line with a maul going forward, why not award the try under the posts?

[Mattasaurus]

@nzzp just don't advance on a kick 😉

[nzzp]

that was a lot of work to score that try. Not many arms by Rebels ... looked dodgy live

[antipodean]

No arm tackle shoulder charge clear as day.

So ... if no arms, surely a penalty try
