To be honest its crap rule ..Tupaea is out of rugby for 3 months for getting cleaned out by a dog act and both these infractions are both YCs
Everything thats wrong with rugby right there

No, they weren't. That's why Swain got cited. He should have received a red card.

Should have been a Red no matter what, you can not drop you knee onto a player's head.
Dumb by Christie hanging on but a Dog act by Gibson.

An awful play from Drummond, but it works out for Canterbury in the end.

He’s been poor. A massive handbrake on our attack. It’s almost like he slows up when he gets the ball.

[Nepia]

Jaysus, big head Bates looks exactly the same now as he did when he played. Is he a secret Whitelock?

[Stargazer]

@Chris It probably would have been a red if Gibson's knee had connected with Christie's head, but I don't think it did.

Did he actually drop it on his head, I know the Cantab cheerleaders commentators said he did but it didn't look like it hit the head to me (happy to concede the point if G&GR style pics and diagrams are used to show it did).

21-10 Canterbury at HT. 21 unanswered points

[Steven Harris]

@Chris Christie should have been penalised straight away would have ended right there ..

[ACT Crusader]

Woohoo a droppie

[Winger]

Good drop goal 24-10

Sure but he wasn’t you still can’t drop your knee on someone’s head.

[KiwiMurph]

Quite telling that this new Cantab 10 is looking far better than Plummer.

Plummer is a good solid player but I think he's reached his ceiling.

Yep you can see Christie’s head bounced when he was hit.

Looked like chest to me.

Good scrum Orcs but then Plummer fluffs the kick

Having a shocker is Harry.

Good to see Heinz on early.

[Chris]

Shit from you Drummond Noah Hotham will take the Crusaders starting jersey next season.

[Steven Harris]

This could get ugly

[KiwiMurph]

Excellent Canterbury try.

This could get really ugly for Auckland.

Look again Christie’s head doesn’t bounce if it hits the chest.
