"its a penalty every time the want it that scrum"
and thats what wrong with things at the moment
For the Highlanders? Yep
you think its good rugby any team can basically force a penalty out of another?
If you're that much better, yes.
if you're that much better then score tries, penalties are for when someone breaks the rules, not for when you force them to do something
Don't go down in the scrum then, go backwards. Then dominance is rewarded
if you're physically not strong enough...but have 7 other guys pushing behind you so cant go back or at least not as fast as the crusaders are coming forward....your going to fold, the reward for that dominance use to be getting the ball on the front foot, how has it become a punishable offence to not be strong enough

On the most basic measure of defenders beaten, surely Bridge ranks lowest? I am at a loss to understand how he gets selected in the All Blacks.

Marino Mikaele-Tu'u
Speaking of him, what happened?
Has he been injured or lost form?
I thought at one point it was between him and Sotutu for the number 8 spot in the ABs.he's been pretty good this game i thought

I’ve have always found that a punishment that doesn’t fit the crime.
Yes, reward dominance but a penalty? -

Jeez, Bernadine has a long day, on the AM show on 3, now out here on Sky...
Back in the day the joke would have been about BOK going at both ends

Not a big Tom Christie fan but fuck he's good over the ball
He’s improved but I don’t think he’s actually on his feet. He’s got his shins on the tackles player balancing him.
Key point is getting away with it!
