Super Rugby Rnd 1: Brumbies v Force

[Derpus]

Hopefully these teams can be a little more clinical in the second half, particularly the Force. Plenty of 22 entries - just not capping their plays off.

 

[Tomikin]

Great game so far ... Let's gooooo

 

[Equalizer]

Come on that had to be a try. Need to sort out their running lines. Lets go Force!

 

[Equalizer]

Yes Palu.....try

 

[Tomikin]

Bit of luck but great try force

 

[Tomikin]

Swains an absolute pest

 

[Tomikin]

Well done Brumbies .. FF (Folau Fainga'a) needed that

 

[Kenny Powers]

That maul was truck and trailer Brumbies player can around in front of jumper as he landed.

Absolutely. Two actually.

 

[Equalizer]

flat pass wasn't forward

 

[Derpus]

Fuck me how was that forward?

When the ref isn't felating his whistle the Force look the better team IMO.

 

[D-Box]

Never forward!

 

[SteveWA]

Why call that forward when he has allowed so much else to go?

 

[SteveWA]

One senses there are other factors in play beyond the laws of the game

 

[D-Box]

Pure question here. Were there forward bound to the sideline side of that maul - a 5 man wide maul that the tail then shifted. So not really a rolling maul more a wide one. And is that legal?

Really enjoying today’s game, nothing better than daytime rugby in dry conditions to provide a better spectacle. I still think there is a few more twists in this game. Some good performances so far. Western force second rowers are stand outs. Swain going strongly as well. Good to see some strong counter ruck the kiwi teams blow us off the park with this.

Not seeing ant replays of penalties awarded at the breakdown seems a little odd.

Consistency is not strong, either within this game or with how it was officiated over the weekend

So is that because you calling them cheats or just not perfect..
