Southland v Canterbury

[taniwharugby]

Southland looking to steal it at the death...

[Nevorian]

Legend of Marty Banks to live on

[Stargazer]

@akan004 Nah, optical illusion. The ball landed in touch within the 22, but didn't cross the touch line within the 22.

[taniwharugby]

Howd he missed that...pressure

[Squirrel]

@nevorian Maybe, later in this game.

[taniwharugby]

Do we have dumb golden point?

[Stargazer]

@taniwharugby Yes.

[taniwharugby]

@stargazer dumb haha

[Stargazer]

Stupid from Debreczeni to kick that out. Always try to score within 80 minutes if you have the ball.

[Squirrel]

@stargazer I was cheering for them to kick it out. I think with this weather and being in your own half, it was too much of a risk

[KiwiMurph]

@stargazer in these conditions? Kicking it out not the worst option in your own half.

Especially if you're going to receive the ball in golden point. The danger is you'll give up the ball in your own half. Territory is hugely important in golden point.

[Stargazer]

@kiwimurph Yeah, but now it depends on who wins the coin toss who can choose to kick-off.

[Squirrel]

Really? This seems a stupid attempt

[akan004]

@stargazer Possibly, but I think they should have checked it. Can they?

That's a harsh penalty, but you force them to kick back to you. An easy way to win the territory battle.

[Squirrel]

@antipodean I did think about that after I posted. I think I would have preferred to kick for touch and get a lineout in their half

[Stargazer]

Great scrum from Canterbury. This is their chance.

[taniwharugby]

Hate to be the guy that dropped it...

[KiwiMurph]

Cantabs ride their luck for the second week in a row.
