Geez we almost fluffed that badly.

@ACT-Crusader was thinking they made bloody hard work of what appeared to be a try all day

I just don’t get why penalties are given when one scrum just demolished another, that just penalising someone for not being strong enough, that can’t change that
Out of interest, what do you want them to rule when the scrum gets messy because one scrum is inferior ,
I don’t think they have an option

A lack of communication between Havili and Goodhue.

Fainganuku gets up and goes again without releasing after being brought down in a tackle. Guess we're just going back to how it was then eh.
He wasn't tackled
Oh he fell over. Under the force of someone else, from the opposition. Went to ground in a non tackle. Ok then...

Free kick, team that won the ball gets the ball

He wasn't near being held. He doesn't have to release.

@Bones doesnt he have to be held as well when he goes to ground, not just bought down by the opposition?

That would be a penalty for not releasing the tackled player...

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

Frizell again with good low body position and leg drive.

Ok interested to see how that stacks up against the laws and current focus...

@Bones but he didnt still have contact when he went to ground, hence why he was allowed to get up
Tackler can bring him down, when they are still in contact, both tackler and tacklee have a responsibility to let go and place ball (respectively) but if you manage to bring someone down but lose contact with them, then they are allowed to get up
