@KiwiMurph cheers. Reeks of me being sucked in by dodgy comms
Can't blame you. Commentary in rugby sucks
Should go to the grumpy old man thread, but I was thinking this before - feels like more and more commentators who aren't providing smart insights.
I would love to hear from Conrad Smith, Richie McCaw - people with some game smarts and intelligence.
Early Marshall was really interesting, but we miss proper analysts.

@KiwiMurph Has a history of it though doesn’t he?
Got penalised once for smashing a 10 late. Then a lot of crying on other hits that weren't even penalties
He has a habit of lining up smaller players, especially when they are in a vulnerable position, and trying to hit them as hard as he can to rattle them. That leads to clumsy/reckless play that we saw on TJP. That could well have been a red at test level.
He needs to look at how Kaino and McCaw played (I know that's a high bar but hey). Consistently making dominant tackles often forcing mistakes without that element of recklessness.

I think Dmac is going to be the difference here.

I Can’t even believe that needs to checked
WTF is this fluffybunny Gardner trying to achieve? It's a step late and there's no fucking way that's worth a YC.

OK that one is horseshit

This is where players have to be so careful. The refs have "reckless" at their disposal and will use it to card people they deem are making dangerous tackles. It won't get any better the next level up.
