Highlanders v Stormers

[taniwharugby]

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...

[hydro11]

I thought that was a try unless it was a double movement.

[Gunner]

He's knocked that on into the Highlanders leg, no try.

[taniwharugby]

@Gunner although he has never lost contact with the ball...

[Gunner]

@taniwharugby common sense prevailed, bugger the law book, he knocked it on....

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.

@Gunner but we've seen tries awarded because the ball wasnt lost if he maintained constant contact...not saying that was right

[Gunner]

Oh fuck, how's that a high tackle, the guy had fallen so much he was almost sitting on the ground.

Highlanders luck there. Naholo clearly off his feet for the turnover.

[Gunner]

Landers doing their best to keep the Stormers hot on attack.

As I type, they go the length...
It's the Highlanders night for sure.

Shit that's lucky

[taniwharugby]

Stormers have had zero luck in NZ so far, and getting reamed for it!

I don't think they have played too badly even though they have been dealt two thrashings.

[Damo]

I think that try was the first time th e ball had been out of the Clan's half in the second half.

[Tordah]

lucky not to get a red

thats what I mean, nothing at all has bounced thier way, 50/50 calls all gone against them, and they are getting pumped.

[Bovidae]

Did I see right that the Highlanders packed a full scrum when DLB came back on. The locks and loose forwards were all still there.
