Blues v Reds

[FrankLind]

Wasn't held

You don't know the rules qwerty.
Donnelly purposely let go because he knows Gill should have released the ball once he came down to his knees.

No Donnelly slipped out and no Gill does not have to release the ball if he's not held.

Wow...QC (Quade Cooper) nails his opposite number in a tackle!

That was a very quick release.

Why do other countries' commentators always call him 'Geeenia"

 

[maxdacat]

Great tackle Genia.

 

[maxdacat]

Nicely worked try to the Blues.

Really poor by Harris not trusting his man.

 

[redveincheese]

Bad miss Mike Harris.

 

[Moono75]

Great pass Nonu to set that try up.

 

[badabing59]

Genia playing like a man possessed

 

[spikhaza]

Okay that will do me. Joke of a call

 

[FrankLind]

James Slipper - you stupid idiot

 

[cyclopath]

Which call cyclo?

It was a penalty against Kaino, I think. They picked it up after the replay, but at the time were waffling on about something else. I just wondered if they get the audio feed we do with regard to ref calls??

Oh dear Slipper. Lifting a player past the horizontal and driving him into the ground. Very lucky to get off with a yellow. I can see a bit of time in the stands coming his way.

I didn't see too much wrong with the tackle, this isn't league lifting tackles are still allowed. It was 50/50 whether it tipped him enough. Refs will always side with the victim I think now but the commentators were blowing it way out of proportion.

 

[cyclopath]

Last thing the Reds need - their best prop maybe on ice for a week or three. Bugger.

 

[Country Kid]

Could we get a score please?

 

[spikhaza]

I have the commentary off because I am trying to study finance and he never goes above the horizontal. The player has his legs bent so they are in the air but if he straightens them he doesn't go past the horizontal

I agree, I don't know why people judge the horizontal by the legs it's his back that matters and it was probably exactly horizontal.

Richard Graham sacked by Monday?
