Idk what's been worse so far. Rieko's handling or SBW's commentary.

Sullivan's kicking has been good though. Hopefully it signals a return to a simpler, more direct, Blues approach.....

I’m at the game and can’t see what’s going on in the scrums, are the Rebels being dominated?

Don't think so. Commentary was the Blues winning the hit and the THP (?) folding. It's about holding back holding weight to keep the ref happy, then one side getting a jump in the hit.

Mind you that is twice against the feed.

Jeez, thought that was fine. But the big issue in Kiwis, get on with it, the call does not need to take that much time!

OK, also just worked out this is in Melbourne. Duh. Not Kiwi refs then?

The decisions are crazy slow. Not good enough.
