"its a penalty every time the want it that scrum"

and thats what wrong with things at the moment

For the Highlanders? Yep

you think its good rugby any team can basically force a penalty out of another?

If you're that much better, yes.

if you're that much better then score tries, penalties are for when someone breaks the rules, not for when you force them to do something

Don't go down in the scrum then, go backwards. Then dominance is rewarded

if you're physically not strong enough...but have 7 other guys pushing behind you so cant go back or at least not as fast as the crusaders are coming forward....your going to fold, the reward for that dominance use to be getting the ball on the front foot, how has it become a punishable offence to not be strong enough

I’ve have always found that a punishment that doesn’t fit the crime.
Yes, reward dominance but a penalty?

Mounga is average as fuck

Jeez, Bernadine has a long day, on the AM show on 3, now out here on Sky...

Back in the day the joke would have been about BOK going at both ends

@machpants Great set up for an exit and he does that!

Lots of missed tackles out there.

Frizell has four made, five missed.

Gregory with three made, three missed.

Jordan with three turnovers conceded, which might indicate that these contestables are a reasonable strategy.

[Kiwiwomble]

why do they care?

[KiwiMurph]

Taylor's form can't hold a candle to Samisoni at the moment.

Really how dumb. It's just a great chant.

Bring back buck

If the landers can sort out their set piece, they’ll go really close tonight. Four of six penalties from their props, all at set piece I think.

Nice touch finder.

Christie is resting on the player. He is not on his feet.

Not a big Tom Christie fan but fuck he's good over the ball

He’s improved but I don’t think he’s actually on his feet. He’s got his shins on the tackled player balancing him.

Key point is getting away with it!

Absolutely fair point.

Not sure it would fly in a black Jersey where there might actually be competent refs

He's nowhere near a black Jersey imo

Injured Hunt or old man Banks?
