Referees around the world will look for ways to penalise anything if they can.

In response to Canterbury scoring a try from a guy over 5m offside.

Yeah good one egg!

prefer to call him a Ta$man player

Aumua is playing really well around the field. Looks to have shed a bit of weight.

Bridge opens up a gap for himself but then dives to the ground. Come on man, surely you can back yourself at this level?

[African Monkey]

@Bones Under previous ABs coaches, they would have developed him into a regular in the ABs 23 by now.

Asafo Aumua has been everywhere in this game. Great start by him, hopefully he’s coming into some form.

I'm not so sure about that. I guess maybe they might have impressed upon him the importance of being able to throw into a lineout?

[Grooter]

There's that man George Bell!

[African Monkey]

@Bones Which would have been coached into him, simlar to Keven Mealamu who was disasterous in that area eariler in his career but improved drastically as proper faith was shown in him.

He's got plenty of time and plenty of faith being shown in him at NPC/SR - so I'm sure if that's all that's required he'll be performing well in that area in no time 😉

Caleb Delany and Cullen Grace showing some real physicality in this game.

[African Monkey]

If Wellington show a bit more patience with the ball they'll score plenty of tries.
