highlanders hanging on by a thread at moment

Weak penalty by Dickson. What are you doing mate.

I'm becoming increasingly convinced we should do away with TMOs completely. The decisions are no less controversial, we just end up wasting a lot of time in getting to the poor decisions.

Sold. This weekend is a fantastic advertisement for that.

[Nepia]

Dickson can feel hard done by compared with Renton.

[Machpants]

Ruru is a bad actor

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

Up against it enough without Tomkinson being our poster boy for discipline.

[taniwharugby]

penalty was about 3m behind the halfway line, Black was a good 2m past the halfway line when he kicked it

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...
