I do find it funny, great lineout competition by Barrett, but they both go straight to ground and nothing wrong with it, but if Barrett had wrapped him up whilst in the air and both landed on their feet it would be a penalty

I get where you're coming from, but I think it makes perfect sense, in one you're competing for the ball, the other you're playing the player. Obviously on occasion you can be doing the former and it accidentally becomes the latter and you get penalised.

I get it, I do, just other times it’s ok to play the player, it’s called tackling, I can see how it can be confusing for new people

I like our midfield combo.

Let's give them half a dozen consecutive games to gel aye?

[KiwiMurph]

Coles to start Bleds 1.

[taniwharugby]

@mariner4life won't happen.

[Stargazer]

@kiwimurph He'd better get fit then.

[Chris]

Coles with big calf problems again

[nostrildamus]

Dyer is one pesky player.

[Machpants]

Foster's ABs, mediocre since 2020

[mariner4life]

That 6 for Fiji is a fucking menace. He's got his hands on a lot. Someone clean him with a bit of vigour aye?

[Canes4life]

@stargazer aslong as Ioane isn’t there I’m happy.

[Kiwiwomble]

That was hard done by, looked a pretty good steal to me

[TJ]

"Marginal" says Smithy... straight on his forearms

Well if he's not gonna play to the ref he's a menace to his own team.

And he's completely given up on staying on his feet this week

[gt12]

Any wrap in the tackle from Volavola there?

[Toddy]

@kiwiwomble except for the part when he's resting his arms on the ground not supporting his weight.

it won't stop him.

[mariner4life]

Yeah he was too far forward there and it was a genuine penalty but he's having a real crack and he's not far off each one
