Clan v Force 13/05/22 at Forsyth Barr

[waiopehu oldboy]

That's at least Dickson's second high-shot Yellow this season so you'd imagine he's looking at a coupla weeks stand-down.

Edit: Marshy says third & as we all know Marshy's never wrong... three strikes, three weeks?

 

[MWC]

Callan having a good game so far

 

[Derpus]

Pasitoa having a bit of a shocker really. That last kick was nonsense, throwing loose passes, dropped the ball right before the line.

 

[Dan54]

very similar to the Koroibete red against France that was knocked off post match.

Also, surely direct contact to the neck is as dangerous as direct contact to the head? weird how that's the line (not saying wrong call)

Derps I like the way you always pissed, but being a good rugby man you just can't stop watching. I know the feeling sometimes!!
By the way the Refs etc said it was shoulder/neck and head. Almost felt for Dickson, he was prepped to tackle first fella, then that one came on angle. That's why I guess they just have to stay low once they start a tcakle.

 

[Dan54]

Pretty loose rugby by both teams really, but I suppose thats what's making it entertaining?

That was my calmest comment all thread.

Clan have named Sam Gilbert as their starting 10: he hasn't played there since he was at high school.

WFTTTTT, unbelievable.

Poor DCI Arnott completely emasculated.

They clearly have zero faith in his tinpot 15-yard clearance kicks and laboriously unnatural penalty attempts.

"Is 15 yards far in Japan? Maybe distances work
differently up in the Northern hemisphere.....

Well FWIW he aint going too bad for a ring in

 

[todd4]

Force might as well bring Michael McDonald on and give him a decent run.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

[Hunt is] decent enough off the tee, though, which I'm not sure Gilbert will be as i don't recall ever seeing him kick goals.

Gilbert 7/7 so there goes my astute analysis lol.

Also Clan not really making him do a lot of the playmaking, they almost doing the early 2000 Wallabies and using 9 as playmaker.

 

[Dan54]

Shit what's happening, I agree with Marshall. Although I think it was direct to head the Clan player dipped his head at last minute. I thought a penalty at most!

 

[Derpus]

Didn't watch the second half but final thoughts... when are Force going to start justifying their participation?

Always argued against cutting them but fuck me have the Rebels and Force stunk the joint out this year.

 

[Cancelled Account]

That is shit. No way is that foul play. Force have been done over in the reffing arena.

Like the Waratahs last year?

 

[The Nomad]

That red card is just nuts , no intent , just an unfortunate collision ……. Fuck me it’s rugby not soccer !

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ Yeah, I don't see how that's a Red against Kahui, maybe a penalty but mostly accidental surely.

 

[Dan54]

I don't think they hardly ever on purpose, I actually said straight away it was red. Direct head to head and Hunt wasn't dipping, opposite in fact.
I strongly dislike it, but ref is right.

 

[Derpus]

Like the Waratahs last year?

Yeah except for you blokes it's every year since inception.

 

[SteveWA]

Yeah except for you blokes it's every year since inception.

Not every year, and if you want a debate about the merits of a national competition and why that requires an even distribution of funds then I'm up for it.

Nah that's really not what I was talking about.
