<p>Fifita, B Thomson, Laumape and A Savea were the Canes best tonight . Coles good in first half, but ran out of puff in the second..</p>
<p>Good cameos from the Tongan Bear and TTT</p>

<p>Except the Tongan Bear had a brain infarct running it out near the sticks. Lucky it did not cost them points. That was pretty dopey. </p> -

Kings are regularly jumping into the gap and into the Hurricanes players at the lineout to disrupt them</p></blockquote>

Got beyond fucking obvious that -
A couple of law questions/observations.<br><br>
- Ball was kicked dead from the kick off.<br><br>
1.1 why not just force it? It doesn't have to go dead to get the scrum when it is from a kick off. <br><br>
Unless that rule that has been around for 15 years has changed. <br><br>
Appreciate any clarification.<br><br>
1.2 unless I am sadly mistaken a lineout at halfway is NOT an option from kicking the dead. Nor is it an option when the kick off did not go 10m. It is only an option if the kick off goes out on the full. <br><br>
Clarification appreciated if I am incorrect. But as the ball did NOT go into touch you can't have a lineout. <br><br>
So players (and commentators Sumo ) should stop making fools of themselves (unless I am) by trying to take a quick lineout when it is not an option. <br><br> - A maul was called held up in goal after it was pushed back into the field of play.<br><br>
I would have thought "held up in goal" would only come into play if the ball became unplayable. As the maul was still live surely it was play on until the maul finished and therefore should have defender's scrum. <br><br>
Again clarification appreciated.
