Brumbies vs Crusaders 6th April - Christchurch Stadium

[Up the Guts]

I thought there was just as much chin as chest. Ideally, I'd like him to have 10 minutes off the field this game and couple of weeks suspension from the judiciary but under the laws as they are now there's definitely scope to argue he should have received a red.

Here we go, the spanking begins.........

Good call TMO.

 

[Slim 293]

Swain stops another try............

 

[Up the Guts]

Yeah, wonder why Franks has a sore right shoulder

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Should be a PT, that.

 

[Up the Guts]

Samu held in the scrum

 

[Slim 293]

Nah, he scored the try.........

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Nah, he scored the try...

PT Law still applies, head-high potentially stops him scoring in a more advantageous position.

Nah...........

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

That's also a PT & at least Yellow.

EDIT: on the same basis as the first one that wasn't given.

Samu held in the scrum

There's been a lot of Brumbies players being held or taken out off the ball........ which is odd because the Crusaders don't need to do that to wipe out the Brumbies.

Lilo was being held down by his legs for 3 phases near a ruck early in the first half.

 

[Up the Guts]

Not sure I'd describe Samu as quiet. Thought he was one of the Brumbies best in the first half.

Lucky not to receive a yellow, but also not a PT........... the try was scored.

^ doesn't matter, the Law talks about an illegal act preventing a probable try being scored, OR being scored in a more advantageous position.

On both occasions it wouldn't have been scored in a more advantageous position due to the multiple defenders around..........

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

How's that not Red, Slim?

 

[Slim 293]

Carter now yellow carded for a high tackle.......... WO - also not a penalty try.

 

[Up the Guts]

Bit of mayo from Crotty on that one.
