Hurricanes vs Jaguares

[Gunner]

I know it’s the rules...but...
I don’t get why you can knock it back in the general field of play but as soon as you are in goal it’s suddenly illegal?

[Stockcar86]

Marshall looks like meth-head Ben Stiller

[Higgins]

How many lineouts have been lost when Aumua has been throwing in tonight. I can recollect at least two (maybe there have been others too?) and we have only been playing for twenty two minutes.

Because you're killing the ball I'd guess, in general play it's still live.

[Toddy]

Good try. Shit maul defence from the Canes.

He didn’t just knock it back. You can’t knock the ball out any where on the field

Yeah why do they stay bound when obviously going around the side of the mail? Get straight of and neck in front of the opposition, pisses me off no end, trying to spoil rather than compete

[Machpants]

Take the 3, I repeat

Oh look, points, 11 14 would have liked even better!

[Siam]

I love Ardies monster dummy. Made me chuckle out loud.

Enjoying coming around to Ardie, he's become very trustworthy in performance. I went through the same appreciation journey with Ma'a many years ago

[gt12]

Is Jordie the most overrated player since...?

Another fucking brain fart.

[Gunner]

Canes playing like a bunch of cnuts

[Stargazer]

@gt12 Or Aumua? That Jaguares' try is due to another terrible line-out throw.

[Donsteppa]

Presidents grade forwards defend their line more aggressively than that. Very passive.

[gt12]

@Stargazer

Who called that shit?

If they actually had locks, they could just throw to them.

[Chris B.]

El Capitan Jeronimo de la Fuente?

Bloody hell, he sounds like someone who should be in one of @Mokey 's books!

[Higgins]

What atrocious touch judging/referreeing. Those Jaguares backs were back barely five metres from the mark and advanced forward right away from that tap penalty. Hang your head in shame you match officials.

[No Quarter]

Creevy cheated his ass off in that maul.

[Higgins]

How can a knock on possibly be ruled there when the ball was completely obscured from sight?

[gt12]

@No-Quarter

TJ has got a pretty good point there.
