What are the forwards doing at kickoffs...nothin

How about the Fox sports sound guy at that last lineout?

Big fat gut poking out the bottom of his 4 sizes too small t-shirt.
Classic

Rewound to see. What an appalling specimen.

[Gunner]

Do the Blues realise this isnt a Tahs charity game?
They are allowed to secure a kick off after scoring points and get back down the other end again without letting the Tahs have a crack aye...?

Clearly not.

[Bones]

No one better with the balls above his face than Folau. And here I thought he wasn't a fan.

[Kirwan]

So far we are on target for leading at half time second half disintegration.

[Steven Harris]

Pat Tuipulotu,take your finger out of your fucking backside and take some responsibility at kick off receive,,,!,

[Nepia]

Thank god they kicked it out and didn't try to go the length of the field then.

[Tim]

Akira Ioane looks knackered. Been playing 80 all year, needs a week off.

[No Quarter]

Tense game, only because I don't want our winning streak broken. Come the fuck on Blues!

[Rancid Schnitzel]

This is really the first time I've watched the Blues properly this year and I understand the furore. They lack structure, leadership and brains. Changes have to be made.

[KiwiMurph]

I think Pulu is going well - he plays with some ticker.

Cam Clark is fucking fast

Tumua Manu is underrated.

Both these teams have great individuals but look poorly coached.

No knee injuries so far.

Let's start with the coach.

Nobody better than the gay hater in the air.

He's also hard to catch, just imagines the opposition are trying to grab him for more than just a tackle

[Gunner]

Wow, just seen the Ioane non try.

That was as bad a call as it gets, I’m gobsmacked.

[gt12]

That Ioane call is hard. (Watching replay now)

He’s not held when he stands back up again. I’m happy with that call if it’s consistent.

Yeah right.

[Gunner]

@gt12 I just can’t understand how that wasn’t a try?

Not a hand on him when he got up.

If it were outside of the 22 in a non scoring movement he would have been allowed to crawl another metre...

Which is worse?

made worse by commentators wanking on about how it's a great call

[MrDenmore]

@rancid-schnitzel
Me too. They look clueless in the forwards. The fact that Folau pulled off that steal at the kick-off twice in a row suggests someone’s asleep in the Blues. It stuns me they have so much talent and do so little with it. Too dependent on individuals.

Well, I'd say we have some talent, but not 'so much' talent. Good coaching woudl bloody well maximise it though

I'm with you, I thought it was a try.

However, if being held is classified as every time some one is tackled, and their knees hit the ground with another players hand on them, then I can live with it. But, as you (and I) point out, that's not even close to what happens. So, as a call in this game, I can't see how they can consistently make that call and think it's legit. There should have been 5-10 more penalties like it in the first half, In that case.
