Waratahs v Blues

[nzzp]

Why doesn't every team the Folau plays for just spend all night kicking to him? He's immense in the air

[Kirwan]

Awesome hands from Clarke, no right to catch that. Nice to see a young guy looking so sharp.

[nzzp]

I no longer understand high ball contests. Tha thit his chest, but he got pinged.

[Bones]

That's a new one Jaco. Jumping beyond the ball? Never heard of it. Especially when it clearly hits the player in the face.

[NTA]

@bones peyper? He's an innovator

Did you hear the coms? Only had eyes for Folau. Wtf? He was checking to see where he was then contested.

Hold the phone. Another wtf.

[Kirwan]

Jesus that was unlucky. Great pass from Pulu.

[nzzp]

I would love it if they ruled all tackles like that.

FFS.

Jaco.

FFS.

Not held? FFS.

That wasn't very smart from Ioane...

Had time to place it and go again

[Bones]

@kirwan yeah exactly! I wholly expected him to. Was odd he didn't!

Very dumb. He had a man free in support. Almost criminal to be tackled there

[Kirwan]

Great steal from kaino. Pulu is making a big difference too.

Did he need to though? He wasn't held in the tackle - just bounced to ground. Tacklers hands were off him when he got up.

[Kirwan]

10-0, could have been more.

If he was held, then I believe he would've placed it.. But he wasn't so he stood back up..
Even I didn't know he had to place the ball.. Does this rule apply to ankle taps?

I'd be happy if it did-- but it usually doesn't. Ref could (and shoudl) have checked on the big screen. Hope it's not important at the end of the game

[Kirwan]

Fucking hell, that was amateur hour. Poor passing.

Duffie seems unsure of where to pass then Parsons unsure of the positive points of catching - senior players awful. Both have been leg irons for the blues this year.
