Dickson can feel hard done by compared with Renton.

Yea I don’t think that was worthy of a card.
Looked like Dickson was standing his ground and Clarke jumped into him?

Doesn't matter if you take someone out in the air. Standing ground only works for runners

That TMO forward pass call was like the shocker the Crusaders copped in South Africa a couple of years ago. Ennor pass, IIRC.

Steven Harris

Never thought I would ever say this , but it’s conceivable that Brumbies v Reds game will be the game of the weekend in Super .🤔

Bones

Fitting end to the half.

Coltman, you should be pretty ashamed of your lineouts, you're supposed to be AB level.

Gunner

Highlanders are bloody lucky to be only behind by 14.

Blues have wasted a lot of opportunities.

KiwiMurph

@steven-harris well it is their two best teams.

We'll take it in exchange for Rieko being penalised for getting up after being tackled for the first try 😬

Tim

@bones Clearly not held.

African Monkey

We should be miles ahead. Hope the Highlanders don't take confidence out of going in only 14 behind.

Bovidae

Williams has been consistent as a TMO this weekend, consistently wrong.

Tim

@african-monkey Yeah, frustrating to watch us have such dominance but not nail it.

Yeah, tackler must release the player on the ground. Holding onto the tackled player is a penalty...

At least you're not a canes, Landers, or chiefs fan, frustrating cos they're so shit to only dream of average, let alone dominance!

Tim

@bones Never brought him to ground. Fell off the tackle. Keep clutching ...

Blues fans had to deal with that for a decade!

Crucial

Usually they demote a ref to TMO. Where are they going to demote Paul Williams to ?

African Monkey

@machpants pfffft lol we've had years and years of it and are only just starting to show signs of turning the corner haha.

Hahaha say what? He clearly hit the deck mate, you can't pretend that didn't happen. It was a textbook tackle around the ankles.

African Monkey

@kiwimurph I know! And they're moaning about having a year about it lol.
