@kiwimurph PUJ blocked a few so lucky not to be pinged anyway

Mate he'll get a lengthy ban for that. No wonder he's not getting starts at the canes.

[taniwharugby]

@bones meh, they all look the same!

[Yeetyaah]

Spoke too soon

Off to penalty box for you!

[taniwharugby]

as they always manage to do!

Is there anything more predictable in rugby than Crusaders scrum + penalty + kick for lineout = try.

That all came from Michael Collins getting smashed.

To be fair, Barrett has been absolutely snotting people the whole half. His defence has been massive.

[Siam]

Was that on the line from the behind goal shot?

I’d like to see a replay of that scrum.

[antipodean]

That came from a dubious scrum penalty. Looked to me like the Crusaders couldn't go forward so stepped sideways and ran around.

Brumbies say hi.

[ACT Crusader]

Excellent first half by the Landers. Getting easy go forward, causing us into mistakes, exposing our lazy breakdown play.

Fakatava doesn’t have Smith’s pass or quickness to the base, but he brings a very different dimension. Actually reminds me of how Marshall played.

I’m not sure if the TMO saw something we didn’t but seemed very adamant after one replay from behind that the ball was on the line. He didn’t even wait for the second angle.

Looked short on the second angle.

[ARHS]

I replayed in goal shot and it looked clearly short. Don't know how Marshall was so sure after obscured back view before that.... Must be an optical illusion or I need glasses

Short then lots of hands on/under the ball. Far from clear.

The ref clearly said he saw the ball on the line. The TMO was not looking at that aspect.

[ACT Crusader]

Sheesh that was a bad read by Fainga'anuku during that build up for the Landers try.

[Crazy Horse]

Fakatava is a pain in the arse. I like him.

[Siam]

The saving grace of tmo's is that we understand it takes time to be as sure as possible. So don't fucken ignore the one sympathy we have for you! Have a proper look
