Get big Nelson out there

[Gunner]

How’s that obstruction when there was no defender within 5m?

[Higgins]

Yeah, bizzare call alright. The referee is English if that helps shed any light on it!

[Gunner]

I reckon 75% of the tackles made in league would be penalised in rugby.

Really noticeable the differences in what is allowed re contact with the head and what isn’t between the codes

Thought he must have been French, especially factoring in the made up scrum penalty early on.

[Higgins]

No, definitely English. Just look at him, he fits the bill - Skinny and spewky, almost malnourished look, complete with pasty milkbottle like legs = definitely English!

[Donsteppa]

It’s like watching a much more energetic version of the Warriors. More effort, but equally error prone.

[Gunner]

@donsteppa bang on.

Aussie will hump us if we make this many errors against them.

[Gunner]

Try Maumalo.

10-4

Samoa will get a couple more chances before the half coz the Kiwis will make an error

[Donsteppa]

This tournament is a really long winded way of awarding the title to Australia.

[Higgins]

Tough call there, it looked like the black player knocked the ball forwards out of the blue players grasp thus a knock on and not a try.

[Gunner]

@higgins nah, any other part of the field that’s a loose carry. No issues with that.

[Gunner]

Good try that one.

Have to laugh how the ref asks the TMO to look at the offside, but they look at the whole thing.

Happens every time too, why does the ref even bother telling them what to look at?

[Gunner]

Beale gets shot by a sniper in the crowd.

Doesn’t look too flash for the Warriors new signing, he’s on the gas.
Archilles maybe?

[Sneakdefreak]

@gunner Looks like it. Kiwis have a back up in Dean Whare and Warriors will have a back up in Blake Ayshford.

[Sneakdefreak]

Double fracture of Tibia and Fibula.

[Gunner]

@sneakdefreak broken tibia and fibula.
Freakish shot by the sniper to get both bones.

Edit: snap!

[mikedogz]

Geez, My sister who works for Auckland Stadiums will be going crook at the security company.

They want to press the myth that loigue is a world game
