He let the bloody ball go, tackle over, surely?
No wonder super rugby can’t get decent crowds, the rules are so bloody confusing.
There's an offside line at the tackle.
Yea but surely the tackle is over when he passes the ball back, and therefore the offside line is no more?

Nice try Blues, good hard yaka.

No, you still need to get onside. The act of placing the ball doesn't change the fact you're offside. The same way if it went to hand he couldn't tackle from behind unless the subsequent Brumbies player had run with it or passed it.

I'd have Plummer in the frame for AB ten ahead of Perofeta based on last year and this year.
Really reliable player.
Yes he’s pretty steady, does the basics well with a low error rate with the added advantage on being able to play 12.

Lol Clarke didn't know what he was doing there. Classic halfback fill in.

Hmmm, I get what you’re saying, but I reckon if they reffed that to the letter of the law every time there’d be a hell of a lot more offsides

Brumbies contesting of breakdowns is impressive
They’re absolutely ripping in aren’t they!
-
Blues need to stop gifting the Brumbies an opportunity to get back into the game.
-
Sotutu giving away a few penalties.
-
How many penalties are the Brumbies giving away near their line under pressure? Should be close to a warning for repeated infringements in the red zone.
