Claimed 31k but I can assure you that Optus wasn't half full, not even close.

Why not? Everyone at the ground had seen it except those who should have seen it, even after it was replayed on the big screen. The onfield officials seemed disinterested and were about to restart play. Perhaps they had already got the call it was being reviewed. We’ll never know,

Clear vision.

I think it was the right decision. It was reckless but I doubt he set out to knee Potter in the head, and certainly not twice. My only question is why the on-field officials didn’t see it and it had to be brought to their attention by the ground announcer and TMO :)

At the ground it looked like a no-wrap flying tackle, both live and from the head on replay on the big screens. I’ve just watched the Stan replay and it is from side-on and isn’t clear.

That’s been happening a lot

The Sunday game may have been a consideration for our Fijian friends.

The officiating in the second half is perplexing to say the least

Well played Reds. Great game, Australian rugby is in a good place.

And given the officiating in the second half, I wouldn’t be whingeing about it if I was a red supporter

That number doesn't look right, it seemed like a few thousand more at least on the day and the noise was an indication of that. But given the weather most were under the stands out of the sun (I know I was) or on the shaded side behind the cameras so it would have looked empty on TV. Thing is...

I'm bemused by the negativity. Schmidt is clearly playing the long game, working out who can play to his systems and giving those with potential every chance to perform. It will be a roller coaster this year with consolidation during the spring tour and hopefully building towards the Lions tour...

Can we agree it wasn't a good look irrespective of who was at fault?

Attacking with more structure and purpose. Long may it continue.
