Yeah it seems crazy that the TMO couldnt interject on the bird shoulder.

TKB absolutely dominating Perenara so far. I must say DMac has been very impressive in the wet so far.

TKB has been very impressive. We are pretty spoilt at HB at the moment.

That's some hometown bullshit right there.

Jackson isn't reffing.

Your thoughts on the late shoulder charge from Bird on TJP?

I actually missed it. Getting ready for work. Will rewind in a moment

Fair enough. Funny thing is the ref saw it and his response was to give both captains a "talking too" about the niggle. Crazy referring after the YCs he'd been dishing out.

Fatialofa's one was an aggressive charge with no arms in the direction of the head. It carried high danger and affected play.
Bird's one was an after the ball shoulder check that carried little danger and had no effect on play.
Should have at least been a penalty and a strong warning to cut out the niggle. For consistency though I wouldn't argue that a YC was unwarranted.

Oh the off the ball play will be leaving Highlanders very impressed

@hydro11
well i dont follow world rugby rules to a tee but i thought (other than they are idiots) that it was now the way to ref

@Crucial

Bird was clearly a yellow.

Sorry Crucial but that's nonsense. Bird's shoulder charge was late when the player was not bracing for impact and had the potential to break ribs. TJP was down for some time afterwards. 100% the wrong call from the ref.

I'm pretty sure danger isn't in the laws. A no arms tackle is just a yellow, especially if late.

I assume maybe crucial is taking the piss

[Blackeye]

@Crucial
That's like saying Luatua had no intent and it was TNW that actually ran into his arm

[Bones]

This ref is a dick eh? Did he even say what he carded Savea for? That straight after a penalty for collapsing the maul where he didn't even cite a number. Penalising the canes and while they wait to hear what it's for shoos them away and then says it once they're out of earshot. Then penalises TJP for sealing off, ignoring ALB diving at the man on the ground.

He's out of his depth.

Edit: i wouldn't be complaining about the Bird non yellow after that shocker high tackle by Prinsep.

@Crucial

Bird was clearly a yellow.

Your reasons? I concede that it would be a yellow for consistency but remove everything else in the game and view it as an isolated incident and you'd think it was a harsh call if yellow (especially if a yellow jersey worn by the culprit)

[Blackeye]

@Crucial
Nah, late ball was well kicked, no arms - not what i'd actually call rugby

Since when is a shoulder charge not a YC?

[Winger]

@Crucial

It was dirty play. But for the reason given below

Hitting a player well after the ball in this way = at least a yellow

[hydro11]

Shoulder charge was a yellow before the new rules were brought into effect.

[Bones]

Oh and Fatialofa, what the actual fuck. How do you make a decision to do something so foreign? He was set for a tackle and had to make a huge effort to change to jumping shoulder charge!

Fuck there's some whinging from the Windy City tonight.
Bird bumped TJP he didn't target him with the point of the shoulder. Yes, it was late and deserved penalty (or YC for consistency) but no way in any other game was that a no brainer YC like you are all making out.

Instead of whining how about sending a message to TJP to stop the amateur dramatics and start playing rugby. He's totally been put off his game by himself getting too wound up.

Both me and No Quarter have made posts about how poorly TJ is playing. So, yeah, we already have.

[Crucial]

The bus has a big reverse gear.

[hydro11]

Such a great kick but our support play has been terrible today. We can score the points but we don't look like it so far.
