Looks to be at least a yellow for head contact and I can't see any mitigating factors so could have been a red

I reckon TJP must be the only NZ 9 that isnt in form this year.

Smith, Fakatava, Nock, Christie, Ruru, Hall plus plenty of M10 only players too.

Jones giving away some dumb penalties.

[Steven Harris]

@KiwiMurph exactly, it’s like kicking to Rayasi 🤦‍♂️

Christie is way too slow tonight. Too much watching.

[Chris B.]

That's our ball, Nick!

[Steven Harris]

Good scrum win for the home team ..

[Nepia]

The ref just gave Angus a lecture about players going for the ball in rucks when they don't have a real chance - very next ruck the Ginga for the Invitational XV does that exact same thing and he lets it go.

Fonotia is a moron haha.

Fell for the bait, not that it made much of a difference.

[taniwharugby]

were a couple forward in that passage

[KiwiMurph]

How is that not a HIA for Tele'a?

[Yeetyaah]

@KiwiMurph was about to post this. There's something weird about these protocols.

[KiwiMurph]

The hot and cold of Christie in one passage.

[Yeetyaah]

Classic finals match play so far. A tad boring imo. Possibly coz I'm just waiting for the ABs later.

[Steven Harris]

Lester Faingaanuku is an absolute beast with ball in hand ,always makes ground

[Machpants]

Nice kick!

[ACT Crusader]

Hooray a tackler penalised for not releasing ball carrier.

That call has been in hiding the whole season....

[KiwiMurph]

Lam has been pretty poor so far.

[taniwharugby]

I think they need to look at players hitting rucks that are clearly lost, seen plenty of guys charging in from 5m or so hitting one of the pillars, despite the fact the ball is well and truly lost, often when repelled, they re-load and try again...an injury waiting to happen.
