Lions v Crusaders - Super Rugby Final

[Wally]

Is it just me or is Peyper being overly pedantic?

[Crash]

Both sides making errors at crucial times

Not unusual for him. He's a very good ref.

[Bones]

Oh Smith's in trouble...

[ACT Crusader]

Wow, what a collision. Havili putting his body on the line there.

[JustAnotherFan]

Eish. Card time

[ACT Crusader]

Massive call here.

[JustAnotherFan]

I think red?

[rotated]

This is where the neutral referee & TMO would be ideal.

Referee and TMO said it was going to be a red when Marshall was prattling on in the background there.

[JustAnotherFan]

It goes with the colour of his jersey. Lol.

Nah. The right process and decision was made.

[ACT Crusader]

Take the shot Richie.

I agree - well done for Peyper making it. Certainly was a tense moment after the red was recommended by the TMO then Peyper wanted to go through everything a third time from the beginning.

So much for Jako favouring the home side. Always felt he was a fair and neutral ref.

[Kruse]

Shit - always hate to see a red card, and gotta feel sorry for the guy when it was nothing deliberate, but it was obviously a call they had to make... Peyper sounded sad but resigned to it.
It's been discussed ad nauseam already - but for this whole "safety of the player in the air" thing... would it be practical to limit how high somebody's allowed to jump? Too hard to police, I guess.

[ACT Crusader]

Fairly stop start sort of half. Errors and turnovers from both sides.

We look good when we play a little wider. Crotty and Tamanivalu playing well.

Lions defending pretty well and look good in attack close to the ruck.

Lions do a love a dummy runner or four in front of the ball.....

[Kruse]

Okay - so slightly off-topic, but an advertisement on UK Sky Sports... when did "Conservatory Valet" become a thing?

Tamanivalu pushing his case for All Black inclusion. Much more dangerous power winger than Julian Savea this season.

Wouldn't be a bad bench option as a midfield/wing player.

For the UK viewers the match is on the Sky Sports Mix channel from 14.30

The new sports set up is already getting on my wick.

Mine too. I have just discovered that my Virgin package doesn't have that channel. I only pay them so I can watch the rugby and now it's been moved off my package. Fuckers.

Ocean going tankers! Irony is that it's a freebie to Sky viewers with basic package. http://live.shwidget.com/static/freeplayer/489581995376170.html
