Crusaders vs Stormers

[Gunner]

Is not straight in the line out a thing anymore, or has it gone the way of the halfback putting the ball in the scrum straight?

[Gunner]

Rubbish call, I'm with Sumo on that one.

@Gunner i'm with Merhts. He hit him in the air early.

unfair contest in the air....

[Gunner]

@KiwiMurph he was in the air himself, contesting the ball...

[KiwiMurph]

@Gunner dont think it was a genuine contest. Anyway either way that law is a mess.

57-24 (36-3 HT)

A few rough calls for the visitors, but cant deny the class of the Crusaders tonight.

@KiwiMurph If you can get your hand on the ball, you are sweet, in the earlier game, had Ben Smith not touched the ball, I reckon he coulda been in trouble

I think it's pretty clear that you can't just blindly contest for the ball in the air. First you've got to assess that you're the best positioned player to go into the air to catch the ball. If the other guy is in a superior position to take the ball and you enter the contest then you're playing with fire.

Very good 30 minutes in the first half after a slow start. another good little burst in the second half to snuff out any thoughts of a Stormers' resurgence.
