Rebels v Hurricanes

Looked at Mafileo's "yellow" again, and not surprised it was changed into a "red". Diving straight into a player already on the ground. Utter stupidity. It looked like his shoulder made contact with Hardwick's head (it may have been his upper-arm), although not 100% clear from the angle that we saw.

Now one of the AR’s trying to make a name themselves. YC.
What the fuck, there was nothing in that.
Fair enough IMO. Can’t dive on a prone player with your arm tucked. The head contact may have been accidental but the act that caused it was dumb
I think it was just clumsy, he was trying to help Aumua over the line. Definitely not a red.
Let's hope the ABs coaches think the same
Cos that's a Red all day in the WC

Canes with some very dumb rugby and game management. All they had to do was make their tackles and fan out and wait for the Rebels to make a mistake. They had by far the more skilled players and that eventually shone through. Seen it many times from them but more often than not they find their way out of it.
Good lesson for Ardie, instead of reacting to the chirp/reaction from the scrum half, just take your medicine and come back later. Handled it well in the post match interview and put it to bed.
Who does Wheeler have pictures of?

The TMO has to be looking at the cleanout on Jordie surely? How the hell did they miss the lock (#5) come flying superman like at smashing Jordie in the face?
As I said in the France V Scotland thread. The modern rules are a farce. Two reds in 5 minutes in that game , and the cleanout on Jordie (a proper missile job) not even looked at.

Consistently inconsistent

How did lakai and Higgins go
Didn’t see much of them to be fair. I would like to see Lakai get a shot at 8.

Well, interesting watching game in Aus on Stan, the only thing they were interested in was Ardie's gesture, and what was said to him. Seems noone saw it, or heard anything. Have to say I personally pleased that players still seem to adhere to what's done on field etc

Noticed that this ref wasn’t as eager to hurry them along as last week. Wasn’t really an issue in the Saders-Landers game since it was over so soon. Interested to see how it’s managed on Saturday.
None of the Aussie refs have applied the 'speeding up' that well. Virtually no differnce.

they were two of the players that triggered my comment about average games from some guys that get fluffed a lot on here.
Lol Higgins came on with a couple mins to go. Can’t really judge a player on a couple mins.
We have to remember Super is a big step up from NPC. Higgins and Lakai looked superb at NPC but I’m sure it will take a little while for them to find their feet at Super. Let’s give them a bit of time before making judgements. Lakai was good last week, quiet last night. Let’s be a little patient, they are only kids at this point.
In saying that Roigard who isn’t much older looked superb last night, but even he has taken a few years playing a few mins here and there to find his feet.
