[taniwharugby]

OTago having alot of poeple taking out cleaners on the side

[Donsteppa]

Ummm... what just happened? Just hold onto the ball?

[taniwharugby]

how many reffing howlers in that play?

[Machpants]

Haha crazy rugby. All annoying that all started with another shit ref call. Fucking dropped cold

[taniwharugby]

@Machpants yeah really basic shit missed...lettign them take a quick throw, off them, Pryor does a Reiko, then a forward pass, then fucking keystone cops

[Machpants]

Great try

Yeah ref is so far behind the action it's not funny

[KiwiPie]

Love this sort of rugby*. All over the place and anything can happen.

• Unless I care who wins.

Certainly makes for nervous viewing when you do care...

[Donsteppa]

Still trying to figure out how you drop the ball cold on the way to the try line. Otago might have been keen to TMO the quick line out after that.

[Gunner]

I keep saying it, but Nock has a great boot! And gee he’s in some red hot form.

[antipodean]

Pryor hoping he won't rue that error.

He was running so fast, the drag on the ball increased so much he couldn't hold it

Couldn’t believe his luck and then forgot to do the one basic thing. (Other than “the old left foot right foot combination”)

[Donsteppa]

Poor chip kick option gets punished

[Gunner]

Wiseguy WTF, why why why???

[Machpants]

@Donsteppa yeah tricky stuff, like walking and chewing gum

[taniwharugby]

@Gunner one thing thats frustrates me about him is he still takes too long, often has his hands on, probably lucky with that call earlier

[KiwiPie]

My main gripe is refs seem to have forgotten about that offside directive. Whenever a side gets quick ball from a ruck the defensive line is all offside but almost never penalised.

[Machpants]

You could see that coming, no defence close to the ruck
