You could say that about most facets of the game. That aa pretty maul really badly defended
@mariner4life I know, but that one was at least 2 penalties I reckon.

Was thinking the same. Pisses me off when the defender is allowed to fall over the tackle, push up off the ground and go at the ball.

@taniwharugby nah, only if you want to be pedantic I reckon
-
wow, 31-7 now...
-
8 phases and Stormers cant make any yards and ball goes loose...half time
-
Stormers look a bit rubbish. Highlanders a lot better than last week. Jackson all over the show as usual
@Tordah started off well for them, then the Highlanders seemed to wake up, nek minut 31-7

Classic reverse jinx.Thank me later

The Stormers are strange. They look alright for the most part, but shit they can ship some points
@mariner4life yep, alot of points too
-
so call from Jacko - the balls out
a hand form the Stormers grabs it back into ruck, Highlander who came round when he said out, Jacko tells him to leave it... -
@Gunner although he has never lost contact with the ball...

Should be a try then
22.1 Grounding the ball
Grounding the ball
There are two ways a player can ground the ball:
(a) Player touches the ground with the ball. A player grounds the ball by holding the ball and touching the ground with it, in in-goal. ‘Holding’ means holding in the hand or hands, or in the arm or arms. No downward pressure is required.12
(b) Player presses down on the ball. A player grounds the ball when it is on the ground in the in-goal and the player presses down on it with a hand or hands, arm or arms, or the front of the player’s body from waist to neck inclusive. -
@taniwharugby common sense prevailed, bugger the law book, he knocked it on....
@Gunner but we've seen tries awarded because the ball wasnt lost if he maintained constant contact...not saying that was right
