Highlanders V Rebels - Sat 20th @2:35

[ACR]

I am very worried. The first half is usually the Rebels best.

Crikey. The Highlanders don't have a best half.

I haven't watched much this year but how the fuck do we have a geriatric English first-five? Surely we can muster a 10, go grab whoever's playing for Otago Boy's, at least he could run at the line once or twice.

 

[Dctarget]

That's pathetic from the TMO. Just silent.

What happened?

 

[Pone's Mullet]

Serious question- what are the consequences for refs when week in week out a huge number of (potentially game changing) errors occur - of the Rebels lose by las than 7 it’s a joke

 

[ACR]

What happened?

De Groot looked to lose the ball a little short of the line, he sort of rolled it over..

 

[qwerty51]

What happened?

The Highlanders 2nd try was clearly not a try. Not the refs fault, looked a try live but TMO didn't intervene after shown a replay it wasn't.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

What happened?

de Groot lost the ball short of the line, flustered ref whistled try, no TMO, conversion quickly taken before replay, back to halfway, allround some real high veldt Egon Seconds level skullduggery.

Is it bad to say that the best part of this game have been the fights?

 

[Pone's Mullet]

But swinging punches doesn’t get mentioned, ridiculous

 

[Rebel man]

Lol kiwi ref’s are disgusting in the way they blatantly favour their own. Just lack integrity. It’s pathetic

 

[Marbig]

That’s a ridiculous call. In what world is that worthy of a penalty but Smith carrying on with it like that isn’t? Really dislike Williams as a ref.

 

[Pokinacha]

Apparently the Kiwi refs can read minds. canham didnt kick out it was gravity dragging his large foot back to ground and the yappy little prick was in the way.

 

[Rebel man]

That’s a ridiculous call. In what world is that worthy of a penalty but Smith carrying on with it like that isn’t?

Just swing punches at someone if they have upset you

 

[Rebel man]

If Canham can get done for kicking then that has to be a shoulder charge as there was no real effort to wrap

 

[The Red Baron]

Was that a shoulder charge from Frizell?

 

[ACR]

Was that a shoulder charge from Frizell?

Literally, no..

 

[Pone's Mullet]

Both teams playing horribly

 

[Rebel man]

Literally, no..

The lead arm never comes around to wrap

 

[The Red Baron]

Literally, no..

That's why I asked the question. Initially I didn't see the attempt to wrap the arms, hence the question.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

More handling errors than points? Sure feels that way.

 

[Rebel man]

Also Kiwi commentators suck. They can’t get any of the rebels players name’s right
