Hurricanes v Crusaders

[Crucial]

I have to say that Williams really does see things that aren’t there and doesn’t see things that are.
He’s quite baffling and judging by the player reactions they think so to.
He had a running discussion with the halfbacks trying to explain why a ball sitting well out the back of a ruck/scrum isn’t out in his opinion

Love looks a bit like a young Cruden.

Don't disagree that it's lucky to be yellow in the context of current rulings, but I also think it SHOULD be only yellow. There was no intent to hurt (like a big punch), no way to inflict real harm if it went slightly askew (like a tip tackle or neck roll)

It was a dickhead move, and a yellow is right.

Just like there was no intent to hurt when old mate from Scotland got marched a couple of weeks ago for a forearm to the neck area going into a tackle.

This one is worse IMO, he deliberately dropped his forearm into a guy who was on the ground.

So he'll be starring for the Chiefs in a couple of years then ....

@crucial Halfbacks make terrible refs.

He did that to hurt him too, it’s a RC and pretty dirty

@crucial was one where Hall had hands on at the back for several seconds, the canes player advances, ref must have warned him, then you hear him say to the player: best not to try or something like that.

[Chris B.]

NZ refs seem to look very, very hard for reasons to mitigate against cards.

I'm not sure it does us a favour when we're playing international rugby, because it seems to me that refs from most other countries are much more willing to dish cards - and our players don't learn to be disciplined enough.

I'll be pretty surprised if the judiciary don't decide that meets the red card threshold. That was actually a bit of dirt.

[Duluth]

Crusaders missed more tackles than they normally do in that half

[Winger]

Why do Canes players do these dumb plays. Just too many yellow cards this year

[gt12]

Jane’s analysis was pretty good, but no mention of territory?

[taniwharugby]

Wtf was that Havili?

Didn't want to give all the secrets away in case the Saders were livestreaming to their dressing room?

[Tim]

Whetu Douglas isn't in the same class as the rest of the Crusders forwards.

[Canes4life]

Great IWL gets blamed for the bad lineout. He was good in the first half.

Yeah blackwell was not existent

[Yeetyaah]

Great try from Goosen

[KiwiMurph]

This is some game.

[African Monkey]

Ardie Savea doesn't look good.
