@ACT-Crusader weather not looking good for tonight, so might affect the scoring, I doubt the intent will change though

That's an understatement, just had to swim the kids to school.

[taniwharugby]

@Kirwan you guys copping it much worse than up here then!

EP drains pretty well though!

[Rembrandt]

Weather update? Last minute fantasy rugby picks will be dependent on conditions

[Tordah]

Cheetahs with an easy score in the corner after going wide a few times. Blues look disorganised.

[Damo]

I think Blues have looked ok.

Now Blues score fairly easily.

[Tordah]

exciting maul try to the Cheetahs.

[taniwharugby]

one of these games huh...

[Damo]

100 point game?

[Tordah]

Blues tried to do the LO the move the ABs did vs the Wallabies a couple of years ago where McCaw scored straight from the throw, but Cheetahs tackled the receiver. Then Scrafton scores a few phases later under the posts. 14-12 Bloos

TJ and Kirwan commentating. Bad vibes.

I hate refs that dont communicate - the players dont know whats going on.

Cheetahs inpress

[Tim]

Big not straight lineout throw from Cheetahs missed by ref.

More than likely.

[KiwiMurph]

Akira! Faiane looks the business.

[taniwharugby]

some optional soft defence at the moment

[Damo]

Was that grounded by Ioane? I think it was. Might have been worth a second look.

[taniwharugby]

@Damo yeah it was, but looked a tad sloppy

[Stockcar86]

Do I not understand the maul rules. I thought if you tackled the player with the ball, that was not collapsing

[KiwiMurph]

Maybe the ref should talk to himself about not communicating.

No, that is still collapsing maul.

me neither, but that looked very OK to me, he came through the middle and then sacked the maul. He didn't even tackle him like grab the legs or anything, he just fell on him and the Cheetahs player was too weak and collapsed.
