@Bones I think he's a good ball carrier for a lock, but not for a backrower.
Think he certainly holds his own, as do the AB selectors. Happy for him to move into lock when Squire is back - Dickson to the bench.

Looking at both these teams and all NZ teams outside Crusaders you see a trend. Those four teams are going to rely heavily on first choice players and could beat anyone on day. Take a few out and looks a bit thin. Your seasoned ABs like A Smith, ALB looked in a different class to others tonight.
Maybe I'm being a bit critical.@98blueandgold Nah, I reckon you're spot on.
-
Thought The much critiqued Frizell also had good impact tonight, really noticeable involvements that shifted momentum

Classic Chiefs, 15 minutes to go so they blow a 12-point lead at home with a man up and their former first five as ref.
Weber > A Smith

I don't think he has the kind of ball carrying ability to offset the lack of ball carrying ability of his backrow partners. Wouldn't be surprised if Frizell starts at 6 in the next game.

WELL FUCK!
Couldnt see the game live so just tuned into Aussie foxtel for the advertised game, 4 and a half hours after the game and the opening panel segment tells the FUCKING SCORE!!!
before the replay!
at the advertised time!
Then they show fucken highlights!Fucken useless fluffybunnies. Hope all Aussie rugby dies as punishment for such incompetence and disdain for rugby traditions.
Fuck em!So we won huh?
Cool. Might watch that now -
Now that's a fucking fine win away, with 14 ultimately in a clear display of mental superiority.
Played in Hamilton wannit?
Pleased to hear that none of you want anything to do with woeful Whitelock. Good, we'll keep his tackling, cleanouts and lineouts then. His obvious leadership from the red card was as good as you get. He was front and centre guiding the team throughout a perfectly played and executed final push for a win. Superb stuff, wouldn't swap him for anyone.
You watch Coltman's try as if he's in your team and you'll realise that Brad Webber's forearms have a bigger surface area than a full size rugby ball.
I see the sun is shining today in Hamilton, it's a beautiful day to celebrate the joy that comes with the start of the rugby season.
God bless our great game eh fellas?
@Bones & Highlanders, fucken handy win that eh bro?

Wow! That was so a try
Meh. No clear grounding. Hooker decides to run straight at half back and gets made to look like a dick. I can abide the decision.
Doesn’t need to be clear. It was try on field call so it had show it definitely wasn’t grounded

This.
I don't think it was a try but he needed clear evidence it wasn't grounded.

This is fucking awful.
@Crucial has been hot on this in 6N thread.
I've not watched any 6 Nations but clearly the Hughlanders have.
Needs a law change, or stricter interpretation.

I don't see why Marshall is getting hate for saying someone should not be forced to leave the field for a complete accident. If cards worked, wouldn't there be less head collisions now and less cards?

Wasn't an accident.

If that is a red, then Orbyn Ledger should take a seat for his high tackle on Frizell's try. He grabbed Frizell and pulled him down by the neck. The fact Frizell is going into score a try shouldn't matter if Tomkinson got no leeway for the way Retallick went into that contact.
