Highlanders v Brumbies

[gt12]

I wish we had an overhead camera, because from my view of that previous scrum, Sio was boring right in.

WTF is O'Keefe seeing? When the Brumbies loosehead is first to stand up!

[gt12]

Pretty well done by the Brumbies. They got the Landers putting effort into the scrum, then took off. Nice tactics.

Soapy started in the right position then drifted wide for no reason. He's a good tackler may have stopped him if he hadn't drifted. Big maybe tho!

[Machpants]

Five man line out to maul?

[Bones]

Farrrrk! Hold the ball. Stop bluesing it up.

[Stargazer]

The Landers are far from convincing thus far. I hope they'll have a better 2nd half. Don't give those ponies hope.

[antipodean]

So you can slip your bind and drive up and win a penalty?

[Machpants]

Better team but can't finish it

[Bones]

@machpants really frustrating. Really stunted, especially in the backs and a lot of isolated runners meaning slow ball and having to work a lot harder at the breakdown.

[Machpants]

Doesn't help ref is letting a free for all in the ruck and is now only policing one side at the scrum

[Bones]

Comforting to see the great redeehammett there.

[Stargazer]

Great kick from Sopoaga.

[Bones]

Same again from Pocock, this time with the flying knee to a player on the ground, when his team were in deep trouble. Not even a warning.

[Damo]

But of a lucky PK there but I'll take it.

[gt12]

@damo

You’re a ref, so I’m interested in why you think it’s lucky? I saw two reasons for it.

[Machpants]

Ref is showing defenders come in at all angles at the ruck, both sides

[Machpants]

Game change, stupid from soapy - no need at all

[Bones]

Agggh Sopoaga you dummy. That's shit when the knee goes unpunished though.

[hydro11]

Pretty dumb. Don't think it should be a yellow.
