Blues v Highlanders

[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!

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

@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.

Imagine he ruled the crusaders with the same set of eyes....

Pretty fucken bizarre for him to come out today with a forward pass call on one that shouldn't be, after a gazillion looks. Is he ill? Is that why he's in the box? And why is he tmo at separate ends of the country anyway?

I haven't seen it this year, but it was their "thing" last year (which they dropped after a few rounds when they got bored, as usual).

[Tim]

That's it. Tolai has been good today.

[taniwharugby]

maul destroyed them there

[ploughboy]

@bones chiefs copped one against highlanders
