Not so sure on that call

Christ on a bike the NZR looks amateur when a representative makes a rambling, disjointed speech like that.

Choat and Grace the pick of the loosies for me, Christie had a huge game on D
Tuipolotu had one of his best games in a whileSaders pack - lineout in particular was very good and with out big Sam...
Pleased to see a glimpse of BBs running game.. may it grow and continue
The trouble with BB’s running game is it starts at 70mins. That is no good to his team.

Fainga'anuku had a strong game.

Whole team seems to use kick as first attack option until after the 60 min mark, makes you wonder who Blues attack coach is, if it's Rangi is this going to be ABs going forward?

@Toddy that’s an old rule. Plus they were reviewing that exact moment for the card
Might be old - but is it still the relevant rule? (I've got no idea...). Or is it more the case the TMO should've picked it up earlier - before the try was scored?

I thought Grace was good for a most of first half, took great lineout ball etc, but didn't really notice him a lot in second

Yeah - thought he and Havili were both very prominent in the second half. Leicester finished the game especially strongly.

3 phases went a few years ago I believe. They look at what the ref asks them to. The play the tmo reviewed, and the angle he saw, showed a clear knock on
But yes the on field officials were at fault too. It was a huge knock on

Obviously pumped after Razors comments the other day…

@Canes4life said in Crusaders v Blues:
Lol Karl Te Nana saying this is a top of the table clash. Is the guy thick? Clearly the Chiefs are at the top.
You answered your own question. Sky's commentators are generally terrible, and he is near the top of that list.
I turned the volume down for the 2nd half so didn't hear that shocker.
-
@Bovidae well calling it top of table clash really doesn't have to be only the top of the ladder does it? I mean there would be no such thing as Chiefs can't play themsleves lol
When I work on a ladder I generally call most of the top half the top. -

The good thing about BB's running game is that it isn’t a cross field bomb

How can you release it after your tackled, not get to your feet, regather and pass the ball all from the ground.
That was an absolute fucking joke
