<p>This ref, Bryant, the same one that fucked up the Landers/Warratahs game is one to look out for.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He just goes missing on some fundamental rugby discretions. As mentioned above and I thought Barrett ahead of Savea's kick for first try</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He's worth looking out for because you won't want him reffing your team</p> -

<p>Jaguares quickly replacing the Reds as my hatiest team, Reds only just still leading because they're playing Saia Faingaa</p>

<p>Faingaa's a saint compared to that muppet Andrew Ready and his other muppet mate Sef Fa'agase.</p>

<p>Another win to a NZ side over foreign opposition.</p> -
<p>I was at the game tonight and it was absolutely cringeworthy. The first half saw an appalling array of various cockups covering the whole gambit of f ups, many more than once. Why the culprits were not pulled and replaced inside the first twenty minutes, by which time I had had enough of the tripe being dished up, must go down as a black mark against the backroom staff. I suppose if they had started pulling the perpetrators that early there would have been no available replacements shortly after half time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TJ Perenara might be worried about getting a phone call from the club captain of his Northern United RFC enquiring about his availability given that their Premier Reserve team have a midweek night match against their Oriental Rongotai counterparts on Wednesday night for that was about the level he displayed tonight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Questions must also be asked of who is in charge of the attacking strategies at the Hurricanes given there was practically nothing on show designed to put a guy into space. It was simply either unsuccessful crashballs or shovelling it on to an outside player after the passer had run crossfield. It was not good to see. About the only mitigating factor were chronic offsides by the Jaguares players for the entire match that generally went unpunished.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Julian Savea, despite his three tries, looked to still be a long way from all Black level, notably running directly across the field a couple of time for nil forward gain. Having said that his performance was several steps up on what we saw from him last time he graced the field.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Questions posed by journalists enquiring what the players have been doing at training this last week would be interesting given that the amateurish errors would even look out of place in a senior club game. To see them coming incessently from full time professionals was extremely disappointing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>About the only good thing going tonight was the relatively warm conditions, in fact they were probably the highlight of the night.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rant over for the time being.</p> -

<p>Have you had a bad week</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TJ was fine. Made one bad cock up but made up for it soon afterwards. And the game was good to watch with a good win to the Canes</p> -
What other midfield options do the canes have? The current pair are not inspiring.

<br>
Have you gone blind in the week? <br><br>
TJ was poor, he made one or 2 good plays but made up for those soon after with poor decisions and plays. -
TJ has regressed badly this season. Very disappointing for a guy who has all the skills to be a regular ab.

<p>We went. Only because invited by friends and I thought that I hadn't been to a live game for a while so may be good to see what things were like now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Man that was a game that showed just how much everything is slanted to TV now, ruining the live experience. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>They are good at flashing up the refs call to let you know a decision but so many times there is a stoppage and delay in play where the crowd is just totally in the dark as to why they aren't seeing a game being played but are watching inactivity instead. Makes for a disengaged experience.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maybe it was the nature of the game with the Argies complicating matters but fuck it was a hard watch live.</p> -

<p>I couldn't agree more. I was there, too, and had exactly the same experience. I got free tickets in an absolutely horrible spot and couldn't see what was happening at the other side of the field. I was getting bored as. Whoever does the announcements in the stadium should be a little more active and tell the crowd what's going on. Next time, I'll try listening to radio commentary if there's reception in the stadium. I'm also going to the Nix game this afternoon and wonder whether that will give me the same experience (have much better seats though).</p> -

You could have moved seats for a better view. Good crowd but wasn't like it was sold out. -

These Argentinians and their fucking soccer behaviour is a disgrace. The citing officer should start looking into this.</p></blockquote>
Agreed.<br><br>
You were referring to Sanchez being cleaned out by TJ?<br><br>
The good thing is foul play gets reviewed on screen.<br><br>
TMO or citing commissioner should impose a YC for unsportsmanlike behaviour/bringing game into disrepute.
