Brumbies v Highlanders

[Damo]

Yeah but we're in the poop now.

[Mattasaurus]

Its the Brumbies to lose from here

[antipodean]

Can't believe they haven't gone for a lineout -> maul.

[Damo]

Oh well. Worst nz team v top Aussie team, so we're going better than we should.

[Damo]

How did he miss the pull down in the lineout? Horrendous.

[antipodean]

Most common words out of Marius' mouth: didn't see it.

[Mattasaurus]

Fuck it pretty bad miss by officials

[Rancid Schnitzel]

2 shocking decisions there. Will be a shame if it costs the game

That may still happen ...

[antipodean]

He clearly used his arms you blind imbecile.

AR and TMO should have. Foul play so TMO can tell ref.

[Nepia]

There's no way that a lineout maul that goes backwards should be allowed a chance to set and go again. That is a stupid law.

[cheetahsBO]

I apologise for the refereeing.

Don't think Abel threw more than 2 line-outs straight all night either.

[Mattasaurus]

Brumbies got rub of green... but highlanders went old school d and won it in the trenches

[antipodean]

Suck a dick Brumbies. The advantage of some terrible home refereeing and your boring rugby deservedly lost.

[Damo]

Damn. So happy about that.

I would have been ropeable if we'd lost after that lineout non call.

[Bones]

@Damo pretty on the nose to not call something so blatant and then go the other way for the ambiguous "no arms" tackle.

I don't see why Smith is being called poor. One or two dud kicks but otherwise went well i reckon, certainly not stand out like we used to see but steered them around well.

Buckman back where he belongs! Wouldn't mind seeing how him and Thompson go...

[Rembrandt]

I thought A Smith really stood up in that last 15 mins. Great to see.

[Bones]

Oh and why the ref chose to ignore the high tackle on Wheeler is pretty baffling. Not like it wasn't clearly visible on the replays. In saying that, wtf tmo?

[Damo]

FWIW, I didn't mind the no arms call. That type of tackle is very dangerous as it can destroy knees - especially at lower levels. Got to stamp that out from the game so youngsters don't copy it.
