@duluth not too much to disagree with. Jordie probably the most unlucky given how good Jordan was
oh, actually LF unlucky too, Rayasi was bloody good though.
RTS lucky no one else did enough at 12 to overshadow the good things he did.

Yeah he did a decent job
Finlay Christie v Smith is another close call

actually that's the other unlucky one, he was so good at just clearing fast all day when that Blues attack was rolling.
The Hurricanes lock would be unlucky as well, he had some bright moments. I would probably put him in over Barrett, but can't really whinge about the selection -

Thomas Umaga-Jensen was very good too. Not brillant but solid and error free.

I was really impressed with TUJ's game , as you solid and error free which is a bloody good start for me.

cool .... more tech
Computer chip and chase: Ball-tracking technology to be used in Super Rugby
Australian Super Rugby games will be the first major competition matches to use smart ball tracking technology, created in part by a former NASA scientist who designed rockets to fly to Mars.
-
Oh. Joy.
-
@bayimports Oh goody, Hopefully the ball tracking will become sort of GPS devise as well. I am sick of looking for balls that disappear over banks and down into the long weeds or get stuck up in trees where it takes ages to locate them in both instances. Even have had to go back on Sunday's sometimes to try and find them! There are plenty of grounds in Wellington that it would be very useful to have those capabilities.

Isn't it wonderful news? I assume it makes it easier for the ball boys to find them? FFS!

Hopefully they can build an alert system in so Will fucking Jordan knows when the ball is travelling his way.

If the can get the calculation accurate it would be great for instant assessment of FPs. The TMO just checks for a red or green light. Even better would be that the TMO keeps their mouth completely shut unless a red light appears.
Could also remove my bugbear of every dropped ball being called a knock on unless it goes well back although the flipside could be a very small tolerance for 'straight down'. I guess that a small tolerance could be built into the calc. -

i have a stop start game to follow. its called the NFL, and its awesome. And infinitely better at it than rugby.

GPS isn't accurate enough for things like if the ball is out or not, the units in their jerseys are only accurate to +/-9m (probably less in the stadium with limited sky view)...which is fine for working out how far or fast theyve run over a length of time...but not for high accuracy stuff

@crucial doesn't sound like a move in the right direction, i reckon. Over-regulation is strangling the game atm.
I see it as removing the TMO bullshit conversations.
The knock on examples are probably a big stretch. More than happy to leave that on field but if there was a live calculation that indicated to the TMO about a forward pass think of the pain that wouldtake away. No TMO asking to go back and spent 5 minutes trying to make a decision from a dubious camera angle. The ref would know if a FP had been made immediately before awarding a try etc.
