Brumbies v Highlanders
-
Three clear turnovers that the ref refused to award. I can't recall a ref being so biased.
@handa457 thats about as bad as i have seen from any official , normally i’m one to cut the official some slack but so many of the calls have been onsided ..
They highlamders have been their own worst enemies but all you ever ask for is breakdown consistency -
Come on Landers. Holland with great slip hands there.
-
And ofc we drop it
-
Bugger, Landers are so much better than last year. If they can keep this group together for the next couple of years I think something special is brewing.

@Landers92 said in Brumbies v Highlanders:
Hey, at least we have Tangitau
Hopefully for more than one more year. He isn't just treating us like finishing school!
-
Just off the top of my head
Lasaqa clearly over the ball
Fealafaga clearly over it
No arms tackle by Brumbies 12
High shot on Hastie
And much much more
-
That felt like a pre determined result from that referee. Like I said, I can handle losing fair and square but that was a genuine piss take. The boys must be feeling pretty deflated after that.
Ref needs dropped, literally.

Seems to happen a lot, especially in Canberra. Seen it happen far too often to the Canes in the last four years there.

We lost the game the moment they didn’t take that ball out the back of the scrum before the penalty. 3 points even or taking up some minutes on the clock and game was over.

The Highlander only have themselves to blame for their scrum woes. I've no idea why Joseph retained DLB and didn't re-sign Johnstone, who can hold his side of the scrum up. Bartlett still has his L plates on.
@Bovidae Johnstone had gone dud too… I’m not really sure his heart was in it down here. DLB has never been able to scrummage, but offers effort around the field. I actually didn’t think he had the world’s worst game.
Bartlett I thought did as best as could have been expected. He stayed up and square for those first two scrums and wasn’t rewarded - third one he goes in, and then the penalty comes.
The Aussie referees have a picture against the Highlanders scrum, and with the lack of ability, it is hard to change that.

Only took 9 seconds on the clock before the officials decided they wanted someone sent from the field.
I am sick of the card culture we now have in the game, but how is it not a red?
The inconsistency is farcical.
You cant come from any further back at any higher speed than Corey Toole did.
Sam Cane got sent off in a RWC final for tackling a lad from a two yard entry.
The sport is an absolute joke.
