Highlanders v Waratahs - Saturday 27 May - 5.30pm

[Lee Enfield]

Tough calls against the tahs, they just got to crack on.

 

[Twoilms]

No they don't. Whats the point exactly. Its 16 v 15 in a dying league.

Thank god how many times have the highlanders not released a player on the ground tonight.

What's my Shiggins coefficient at the moment?

Not high enough judging by the rucking refs performance

Just a less clear and less obvious knock-on

 

[Micheal]

21s hands definitely touched the ball.

The ball definitely moved.

No knock on. In fact, TMO has ruled that the Clan get two tries, not one.

44 - 21. No need for conversions.

Maybe not

didnt izzy say it was an 80 minute game earlier in the night?

It's weird how from a knock on advantage there can be a penalty and they'll go back for the knock on

 

[Pedrolicus]

Love watching gordon play, such a gimpy running style, but super effective.

 

[Blackadder]

Game over. A joke of a ref

 

[Twoilms]

So what have we learned. You cant clean out lest you get a yellow. Kiwis can't knock on and the ref is allowed to interfere in your backline as long as it results in a try to his favored team. Good game boys can't wait for next week!

Tahs have no-one to blame but themselves. Switched off mentally in the second half, especially in defence and then lost all attacking structure for a bit. Lost the contact fight.
Apart from the try to the Highlanders in the first half, nothing the ref did changed the outcome, and that was the idiot video ref who can't spell, let alone apply, geometry. That said, there were a lot of neck-roll type cleanouts and a few "no arms" as well that just went through to the keeper (not just by the Clan either).
Plus, just once, when Aaron Smith fucks off with the ball on an opposition penalty I'd love to see then ref actually do something about it. The latitude he gets is ridiculous.
Used to be , when the Tahs could score 4 tries, they usually won, but the defence is just too flaky now.

 

[Tordah]

hey guys, didn't watch the game, how was the ref?

A few people seem to think he was the problem. I'm not one of them. I wouldn't say he's a great one though.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Great, another half-blind biased hometown TMO. Just what this shartstorm of a comp needs.

Ref ignored lot of offsides but wasnt as shit as you'd think from this thread.

No grass banks under the roof in Dunedin therefore no dewish banking conspiracy. Speaking of which, Marty Banks should’ve got the hook for Sopoaga at halftime
