Christie having a mixed bag so far...nearly outpaced by a lock...

Haven't seen that since Caleb Ralph got run down by Chresten Davis.

Yeah you'd have to have watched rugby since then to see that.

I have but that was a magic moment for the big fella. Unforgettable.

Bones

21-10 at the half to the Canes.

Between the Savea's missing tackles or forward passing, Ricky unable to throw straight and ginger nine's box kicks, canes are making the moon dogs look most ok

nice pace shown by FABGJB

Machpants

Nice try Jordie, conversion missed by bro 26 10

Machpants

Then shit discipline on restart, this is like being a blues supporter

Bones

Jesus Skeen, that is not worth stopping the game for. Very debatable that Parker even touched Barrett's head too, balls up of a call.

Tordah

Ben Skeen is the most fucking annoying TMO. His voice, his constant interventions... bah

Bones

@tordah check check again...

Higgins

And he is back into it yet again, christ this is annoying.

MajorPom

Ben Skeen can you just fuck off?

Neither of those were worthy of your needless intervention.

Bones

Well I guess he's consistent. If it was a high tackle before, then Savea has damn near taken that players head off.

Tordah

what the fuck is wrong with that man

Higgins

At this rate Super Rugby might as well adopt ripper rugby rules.

It's the TMO show

At this rate I'm moving towards getting the TMO out of it all together and teams having to deal with shitty calls.

I do wonder what the behind the scenes chat is around how much the infield referees have to deal with the TMO's. I've heard both Barnes & Owens tell the TMO they disagree and are just going to play on, but I can't understand why Nutbrown hasn't said the same thing here for both of those. Tackle on Barrett was fine, and Savea's cleanout was as well. Surely Nutbrown could see that???

Someone cut off the TV feed to Ben Skeen.

If it is a yellow card, go back for it. However, if it is just a penalty, I dont see the point in going back to it. It isn't serious enough to rule out a try.
