Highlanders v Force - Round 4 - Sunday, 19 March

[Dan54]

Really? It seems quite evenly matched to me.

I hope the Force win but I'd be surprised. Kiwis will get a jammy home town win.

Certainly seems to be a couple of teams near the bottom of the pile doesn't it? The standard wouldn't hurt to lift a bit.

 

[molman]

Were you tackled??? Don’t worry just get back up and dive over the tackler

The de Groot fish flop?

 

[D-Box]

Almost evey Hollanders ruck one of the following happens

Tackle player rolls so the ball is under their chest
Cleanout not for the side but the force side
Smith stands on the player rather than picking up the ball

 

[Pokinacha]

First pictures back from a break and it’s a kid putting a bear with a highlander jersey in in a Speights Beer box. That’s quintessential Dunedin right there

 

[Mr Pilfer]

Clear penalty try. Shiggins is going to lose it.

If you went to a referee course and they showed you a clear example of a penalty try that would be it

 

[molman]

Well done The Force.

 

[Mr Pilfer]

Prior shouldn’t be getting back in this team, Simpson has been good and looking forward to fines off the bench

 

[Thalium]

Crowd gets quiet really quick

 

[Thalium]

Short lived lead

 

[molman]

Oh geez. They'll be watching that one on reply come Monday.

 

[Equalizer]

Anstee immediate impact

 

[Thalium]

Man I love Anstee

 

[molman]

Hegarty off isn't good.

 

[Thalium]

Loosing Hegarty sucks

 

[Thalium]

Guess Stewart to 10 so hopefully not a train wreck

 

[Pokinacha]

Loosing Hegarty sucks

Both Stewart and Kunzel can play 10

That showed a poor understanding of the rules there by Tiatia, if he stood over the dead ball line and picked the ball up as it was rolling in goal, the restart would have taken the ball back to where it was kicked from and not a goal line drop out.

Unless that rule has change and then I apologies.

 

[Members Section]

I thought that, that had changed?

 

[Adam84]

Not sure, if it has then my bad.
I'd expect a professional rugby player, especially one playing fullback to know that rule better than i.
