Highlanders v Crusaders

[ACT Crusader]

Poor attempt by Ala'alatoa

[taniwharugby]

@Bones well thats fair enough, all comes down to those micro moments of how the ref sees it..

[Bones]

Why put up a high kick and just stand back and watch?

I just don’t get why penalties are given when one scrum just demolished another, that just penalising someone for not being strong enough, they can’t change that

Problem there is that the Landers prop lost their bind because of the pressure. That should be (and is) penalty.

Under the laws of course...I just don’t think it should be a rule, he hadn’t done something reckless or against the rules to get an advantage, he’s folded under pressure...that doesn’t feel like something you should loose points for

[Yeetyaah]

Ah yes, Michael "Safe Pair of Hands" Collins shows his worth.

Yeah however that's why I thought they announced these new focuses - take that out of it. Sure if a player falls over, let them get up. If a player is brought to ground by the actions of the oppo...play the ball.

@Kiwiwomble yeah is a tough one really, because ultimately a dominant team/pack should be rewarded for thier dominance, but not sure it should be braodly applied

I thought the front on replay showed he wasnt close to being held.

Frizell again with good low body position and leg drive.

Funny how he looked up and saw Mounga... decision made, I'm going straight.

Yep once he got through that first tackle, it was only backs to take on.

Fantastic lineout move!

[Bones]

@KiwiMurph disagree to agree.

[ACT Crusader]

Great move and well done Smith.

[Yeetyaah]

Great try.

[Bones]

Best lineout move since teabag!

[gt12]

High shot there too

[Jailbreak7]

A Smith the differrence so far
Saders moves too complex

[Bones]

Fuck MMT. Clear as daylight.

...marshall just said it shouldn’t have been a penalty...I might be drunk

Drummond always makes me nervous when he plays.

So does that mean it should be a penalty 😉
