This standard of refereeing simply can't be the best available for a final.

Two international refs running the sideline

Why is Tahuriorangi kicking high from the base of rucks into this wind? Just dumb rugby.

[Canes4life]

If we can’t throw into the lineout, get Hika on.

[Machpants]

I think we can safely say this is more than a 3 point wind, welly need to score otherwise BoP will be feeling rather good going into half time

[Canes4life]

Savea of old right there. Wow

[Mattasaurus]

Winding back the clock the BUS

[Donsteppa]

Poor attempted tackling.

Two special buses, on each wing

Narawa going high on Savea. That's Stevenson type defence.

Yep, it's why neither of them are in Japan right now...

Inexcusable at this level - just piss poor technique

[Machpants]

JGB is not quite Andy Goode, but still!

[Canes4life]

Around the legs Narawa.

[Canes4life]

Superb turnover from Kirifi.

[Machpants]

Narawa offside at the turn over ruck, then tackles shields around the head... Carry on 🙄

Never supporting his own bodyweight.

This game is a free for all lottery.

No,, he fell after he had the ball. That was a great turn over

Its pretty consistent with how the NPC has been officiated.. seems to my observation that there is a lot more latitude given for turnovers this season... certainly more than what you would see at Super or international

Get Apisai off.
