@gt12 12 is a physical position and if he believes he is not up to it I think that says a lot.
I don’t know the whole story but Dagg mentioned it earlier in the season before one of the games. I dont think its about ‘not being up to it’ as much as not wanting to get completely bashed around (which happens at 12).

Could be fears about concussion:

A player must not tackle an opponent who is not in possession of the ball.
Sanction: Penalty
The whole dangerous play section says penalty. Once that penalty is decided you decide if it warrants more.
To me that was a prime example of why tackles without the ball are considered dangerous. Plus the player was injured to the point that they couldn’t continue.
Deserved more than a penalty IMO@crucial said in SRA Round 9: Crusaders v Blues:

Deserved more than a penalty IMOThe injury was caused by the way he landed not the contact. Penalty only for me. Unlucky though.
Wouldn’t have landed like that if he was ball carrying and expecting a hit though. That’s why it’s dangerous to tackle off the ball.

Sotutu is the best midfielder the blues have out there.

Another missed opportunities from the Blues , Once Clark got into space , the support runners should have been working overtime to get the breakdown..attention to detail again

@mattasaurus at least he knows how to time his pass

Leicester F has been good at 13.
It’s his best position by far.
Shocker by Mo’unga

Telea another auto selection.....
Maybe they've got a quota, a minimum penalty quota

That was a nice little shift of play in behind the Crusader defender for that last run he made.

Understand the point. But actually people land awkwardly all the time. Tackle was fine apart from it being early, which by itself isn’t dangerous. He would have been ok if he hadn’t landed on Richie. So yes to the penalty but the injury was because Richie was on the ground and he landed on him.

Story of this half ,
One team taking their chances , one does not know how to..!
On a plus side for the Blues .Young Sam Darry has been a superb pick up in his first year of Super Rugby , this kid at 20 years old has been a genuine success , can only get better .. -

McDonald must be tearing his hair out. Maybe he should just select players outside of Auckland because their is a funk that can’t be removed. I don’t blame him at all.
He has all the players he requires. Up to him to select and coach. No one else to blame.
