How much slicker is Weber's passing this year? Great to see.

Rugbys obsession with referees drives me insane.

I agree on the whining about refs. A bit of positive feedback about refs is good to see IMO. A decent amount of the whining is because the fans are incorrect

Mostly started by commentators, and then reinforced by losing coaches.

But there is often a bit of chat pregame about the ref too.

Weber still throws plenty of loopy passes, probably more noticeable watching live.

@Bovidae I was critical of him last year so thought I'd mention it when it looked much better last night. I take it back. Thanks.

Oh and what has happened to Cruden's little pop gun punts?

[Bovidae]

@Bones I'm referring more to passes to Cruden and DMac in-goal in exit plays. Sometimes Weber puts them under pressure with his passing. I agree, he has been much better around the field.

As a comparison, I don't think TTT's passing has been flash either despite his reputation as being Smith-like. And he takes too long clearing the ball.

Yeah, Cruden has no distance in his punting but DMac and Stevenson can compensate for that.

@Bovidae wait...did you not see his ridiculously massive clearances last night? So weird to see after years and years of 15-20 metre gains.

There were some, like the kick JB kept in, but I'm more surprised when Cruden does kick so long.

@Bovidae that was my point.
