Reds v Highlanders

[gt12]

The absolute irony is that he was less in front of the kicker than the 'not obviously forward' pass given to the Reds! WTF?!?!

<p>for some reason the leeway given for fwd passes is enormous when compared to being half a foot offside</p>

[Mattasaurus]

<p>wtf</p>

[Sapetyvi]

Stupid play by Wheeler, YC probs

[Tordah]

<p>they can penalise every fucking ruck now whenever the TMO feels like his team needs a leg up</p>

<p>It's just not the Highlanders night....</p>

[No Quarter]

This is a tough watch at the moment. Landers can't do anything right.

[Mattasaurus]

<p>some consistency is all we want ffs</p>

<p>I don't know why people are surprised by this.  It ALWAYS happens when the Highlanders go to Brisbane.  </p>

[Mattasaurus]

<p>YES got one!</p>

[Tordah]

<p>Osborne was pushed by the Reds winger there</p>

[Mattasaurus]

<p>terrible basic skills tonight by Highlanders.. no way they are coming back from this with the way they are applying themselves</p>

[African Monkey]

<p>Hmmm our draw against the Reds is starting to look a bit better now.....</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Just came home from the Canes game and can't believe the score in the Highlanders game! I expected it to be close, or Highlanders in front, but not this!</p>

[Mattasaurus]

<p>very well taken... how can you disallow that</p>

[African Monkey]

<p>Not even the refs could find a reason to disallow that 1.</p>

[Mattasaurus]

<p>Reds dropping like flies every whistle</p>

[Bones]

<p>Goddammit I'm about to lose my shit. The handling tonight has been fucking atrocious! Passes without even looking and just to no-one at all. Even when looking the passing has been going to ground, behind, etc. Fekitoa is doing some stupid circle dance literally every time he gets the ball, what the fuck is that?</p>
