Haha, James Lowe with some quality finishing.</p></blockquote>

That was slow and laboured work on the inside by Tamanivalu. He looked poor all night. -

Another of these "ball knocked out" calls. Fucked if I know what way they'll call it.</p></blockquote>
<br>
Correct ruling.<br><br>
I really hate the "ball knocked out" thing.<br><br>
If you lose possession regardless of how I reckon it should ruled that you lost possession. If it goes forward then "lost forward".<br><br>
However that went backwards. <br><br>
Fair try. -

I see it that way too (should be loss of control). Only saw a replay of it this morning and agree not forward so play on -

<p>it is a tricky one. i don't think you really want to encourage people to deliberately hit the ball out of other players hands. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>if that went backwards for one team it went forwards for the other. if it came off their hand and they were not trying to catch it, which it did - then that is a deliberate knock on close to the line and is a yellow card and penalty try.</p> -
<p>fark, I said that it went back in real time, jeez you guys are slow :)</p>

<p>It is a nice stat but tell me about the quality of the tackle. Compare a Kaino tackle to whoever.</p> -

Feel for Cane. He was huge in the 2nd half. Real 'follow me' performance. <br><br></p></blockquote>
<br>
2nd half? ... well yes but he was just as good in the 1st -

<br>
Fine at super level. Even despite that pitiful effort on Halaholo to which I was referring. -
So ruck clean out, lifting the leg and dumping him on his shoulder is just a yellow? And no gnashing of teeth? What was all the kerfuffle 11 years ago about then?
-
Well. Bit anniyed about both results last night. I kind of thought the two that lost had the best shot of winning the comp.<br><br>
But it is what it is.<br><br>
Clan far far better team. Had the best of the first half and did enough to pull away.<br><br>
Thought the TMO got all calls right.<br><br>
Jackson on the whole ok. I think both sets of fans being pissed off at him confirms that.<br><br>
Tamanivalu poor.<br><br>
Fekitoa not effective.<br><br>
Still not a fan of Dixon.<br><br>
Don't get the Whitelock hate.<br><br>
Surprised Squire doesn't start.<br><br>
Bird looking ABish again.<br><br>
Cane.<br><br>
Best team won.<br><br>
Here's hoping for all Kiwi semis. -

I agree they got the correct outcome, but the logic applied by the ref & TMO was "ball knocked out by Chiefs player so not a knock on". They should have said "ball lost by Landers player but did not go forward, so no knock on".<br><br>
They need to get some clarity around this, I always thought if the player has the ball knocked out then he has lost possesion, and if it goes forward it's a knock on. But they've been inconsistent this year. -

Yup, Cane was smacking guys backwards all night. Put in some massive hits. Todd is (mostly) an accurate tackler but rarely makes dominant tackles like Kaino, Cane, Ardie etc.
