Crusaders vs. Hurricanes

[Toddy]

Hurricanes hot on attack...two J.Barrett head explosions later and the Crusaders have scored.

[kev]

Bullshit call.

[Higgins]

What's the world coming to? No way should that ever be a penalty.

[KiwiMurph]

Crusaders props are due for some harsh calls...

[antipodean]

Anyone who thinks Angus is a good ref should watch this game and realise he's like this all the time. Remember, this is a ref that got hoodwinked by TJP because he didn't know the laws...

[KiwiMurph]

@antipodean he is a good ref. This is a comp with refs the likes of Okeeffe and Berry....

[antipodean]

@kiwimurph He's genuinely not. The others are just dreadful.

[Machpants]

What a yawn fest, skill levels in the wet appalling

Known here as AFG aka Angus Fucking Gardner

[Canerbry]

Richie > Beauden head to head for the severalth year running.

[kev]

That’s twice he had missed offside

[gt12]

Ridiculous non call there. Where’s the fucking AFs??

[antipodean]

Case in point - knock on, clearly offside, deliberately plays at ball. Decision is scrum.

[Higgins]

Another bullshit call, just a good decent hard tackle.

[KiwiMurph]

They slammed his head. Thats a penalty.

[Toddy]

Hilarious. Hurricanes now penalised for effecting a tackle.

[Nepia]

What the hell is up with Gardner tonight, he's so skittery he's penalising anything.

[kiwiinmelb]

Is that a dangerous tackle these days ?

Fuck I’m getting confused

[Machpants]

Apparently it IS tiddlywinks

[pukunui]

Rugby is fucked. Twice there were clear offsides from knock ons and both were called scrum. If you aren't going to rule on it properly change the fucking law so it is a scrum only. We have already seen that law ruled inconsistently at the business end of two major tournaments at crucial times.

And seriously that penalty for the Laumape tackle is just a joke. Just cancel the whole thing if hard tackles are now illegal.
