@MiketheSnow you'll see a few of them in the URC. Angelo Davids played CC but he is waiting behind the Stormers speedster.

On the long hair thing: tbh it is like jumping into a tackle for me i.e. if you leave your hair out, you're asking for an infringement.
You're reducing the tackle area through an unskilled means. Mens or womens - put it up.
Agree. It would have been a huge ballsy call for a PT. We know that Portia would have likely scored but the ref can’t take the abilities of the player into account.
Still 10m out and cover defender not far away. Hard to make that call in a split second either way

I think the cover had already over-run and would have been on the wrong foot but yeah, would have been called harsh if given.

Great win for our Blitse. They have been very good this tournament and Powell will be a big asset for the Sharks
Great win
Powell reminds me of Steven Seagal

Bronze for both is not unreasonable, considering how they were prevented from playing on the sevens circuit most of the last two years, while their opponents generally played more. Well done players and coaches.
Liking what I saw from Joe Webber and Leroy Carter as midfield creators. Think Caleb Tangitau needs to develop a kick and chase instead of surrendering the ball at the sideline, but looks very promising. Some good talent coming through.

Best team in the comp by far. Played with minimal errors and maintained composure for longer periods.

In the NFL you're allowed to tackle someone by grabbing their hair if it hangs outside the helmet.

Conflict of interest!

I'm guessing that the fulla checked that club into his baggage....
