Crusaders v Brumbies

[Tim]

@gt12 Yep, clear high shot.

[gt12]

@Tim

Feels like they are benefitting from having one in the bin? Or because they scored? Either way, it should be separate.

[Tim]

@gt12 Maybe the ref thought penalty only as he was falling/dipping into the tackle?

The inconsistency of calls. Although I hate the crusaders Strange get hit in the head and doesn’t score yet scrum! If the play the law it’s a yellow and penalty try.

Three high tackles in the act of scoring now. One is a scrum to Brumbies. One is a try plus yellow but conversion missed rather than penalty try and the third is just a try and no further sanction.
This sort of shit is killing rugby watching for me.

Do not adjust your set,normal service has resumed..!

[gt12]

@Tim

That would be a good reason, but I thought head shots weren’t mitigated that way?

[gt12]

Shame that was forward.

Read on the edge more would help.

Havili?????? No need for that

[ACT Crusader]

All our midget backs getting us high tackle penalties.

[Donsteppa]

Brumbies tackling is technically horrible.

Refs have let lots go too

[chimoaus]

Crusaders keeping the Brumbies in this with uncharacteristic errors. Crotty has been excellent.

[Tordah]

Hall has been much better than Drummond

"A game of two halves"

[ACT Crusader]

I love this sort of inconsistency

[NTA]

Taufua has been immense the second half. Angry pills given out to the bench?

[Kirwan]

Surprised this didn’t blow our earlier with the amount of open play in the first half and yellows.

[gt12]

Whitelock BBBR-ing it.

Reece in again.

20 more points boys! Come on!

That is SO last year

I'm with you: if you were falling into a tackle it didn't matter, particularly if the tackler was coming in above nipple height anyway.

I've only see the Franks/Speight incident out the corner of my eye, but you look at that last year and would consider a red card.

[Kirwan]

Why kick Cameron?
