Not a good look though for Cane if that idiot fell and severely injured himself big law suit/criminal charges laid..
Idiot got what he deserved but I wonder what WR will make of it.Censure the Argentinian authorities for allowing the trespasser on the pitch.... Seriously Cane should have either left him or just grabbed him by the collar
-
People are so defeated on the “fuck Sam cane” bandwagon they’re trying to make a deal about this? Really?
-
-
Woulda looked better if he put a big shoulder on him...nothing should come of it, I mean at least he didn't abuse an official...

I thought he just stuck out a foot to trip him? Not legal in rugby but fine for pitch invaders
Look again. It was a nice kick. Argentinian football fans should appreciate that
-
From a PR perspective it creates unnecessary noise. The pitch invader is a dickhead. As a player his role is to ignore what goes on around him and let the officials deal with it.

@Nepia Yeah he was solid. A 7 out of 10 performance for me. The commentators made out like it was prime Kaino out there which it wasn't, but he did a decent enough job.
I reckon Fozzie and Ryan will be delighted with Frizell.
He was doing exactly what I think he's picked for - providing a tall and effective third lineout option, making his tackles and trucking the ball up one off the ruck and securely recycling. Got himself around the park and a few nice little touches e.g. in the first try, as well.
Hey TJ. The trick now is to see if he can do it again.
-
@Yeahtheboys Yeah pretty much. He played well so they now have to find something else to bring him down.

I reckon Kaino would've been pleased with himself to have played as well as Shannon did today!
Your job, in future, is to correct anyone who comes out with the outrageous line that Frizell has never had a good test, so that I don't have to be called TJ.

Fellas with actual knowledge of the rules - what was the go with the penalty we earned when JB (I think) ran upright and couldn’t get to ground, but Angus made all the Argies let go of him?
He got one knee to touch the ground, so becomes tackle.

He got a one knee down then the Aggies lifted him back up again. Penalty, they didn't release

Nah you look again, he tripped him. Good work, gold star

Ah, I didn’t see his knee touch, thanks

Why? It's generally accepted here that you don't post spoilers.
I think it's impossible to have a hard rule about that. It changes from match to match. In general if you're in a live match thread you shouldn't be surprised if you see another result or hints about the other games. Particularly after full time
When there's two NPC games played at the same time, it's more of a rule
With a game like this, AB's early in the morning and the Saffa/Aussie game overnight, posting about the other game should probably wait until a bit later
I deleted a couple of posts that were talking only about the Aussie/Saffa result as this game kicked off. It spoiled the result for me but I wasn't surprised I saw it in this thread
And the fact it was said during the fucking game so unless you had it on mute you were proper fucked

Cully nails it re: the attack. A lot of good stuff in this article.
What was striking about the All Blacks was how few times they went into predictable three-man pod systems in attack. McKenzie, meanwhile, frequently stepped in at first receiver rather than a tight forward, and he always had willing runners to choose from. A plea to New Zealand’s Super Rugby teams – follow suit and empower your No 10s: they don’t have to spend most of the game sitting out the back waiting for a backdoor play.I wonder if this is a Joe Schmidt influence, I can't help but think he has spent the summer figuring out how to beat the NH sides etc.
