<p>Yup all academic - went back regardless. Clear try.</p>

<p>Totally agree. Looked to be knocked back out of the Highlanders hands.</p>

Ruled that way when I was a kid and in 2015....but it's a coin toss in 2016

[Stargazer]

<p>Correct decision: try Sopoaga. Good officiating.</p>

<p>I would like to give the benefit of the doubt against the player carrying the ball, whether it went forward or backwards. The main thing is you lost control of the ball, but I understand how others might see it differently</p>

[Frank]

<p>Fekitoa with more bad decision-making</p>

[Anonymous]

<p>Just before, Weber lost it backwards onto his foot, it went forward off his foot and it was called a knock-on. But let's go the TMO for something that every other time it would be a knock-on.</p>

<p>Yeah, like in the RWC final when SBW was punching the ball out of the Aussies hands. Still a knock on.</p>

[No Quarter]

Right, no more points please.

[Toddy]

<p>Highlanders showing why they're the current super champions.</p>

[Bones]

Somebody hit Faddes, fucking moron. Every movement ends with him.

[KiwiMurph]

McKenzie makes a lot of errors - tackling and otherwise.

[taniwharugby]

early shower for naholo

[Tim]

<p>Probably Cruden's worst game for a while. Hope he improves in the playoffs.</p>

[taniwharugby]

Great cover defence by highlanders

[hydro11]

<p>Basically over. Chiefs need 10 points or the Highlanders need two tries.</p>

[reprobate]

<p>and so another aspect of reffing inconsistency. barrett did that in the earlier game, not ruled deliberate.</p>
