Hurricanes vs Crusaders

[westcoastie]

take the scrum hurricanes you numpties

[Wally]

What was wrong with that scrum?
Crusaders totally dominate.

[westcoastie]

take that back... Shot Laumape

[taniwharugby]

cant see what Todd was meant to have done there??

Right play there with no 7 with a runner like Laumape

[westcoastie]

Still though... Hurricanes win a scrum penalty, Todd gets a yellow, Hurricanes go to the lineout. Take the scrum on the 5m line, with the advantage and push that fucker over.

[Canerbry]

I'd like to check the grounding there, looked like it Laumape 's arm was under it.

Shit refereeing all round.

Not shove a guy in the back when he’s 10m offside

Also don’t act like a petulant child

[Machpants]

He ran into the back of TJ, same as when trapped in wrong side of ruck, shouldn't be there = penalty. No such thing as 'he couldn't do anything'

[taniwharugby]

@Duluth didnt look like he pushed him to me...as to the behaviour, agreed

[westcoastie]

Fuck me. sometimes we're not very smart rugby players...Riccitelli, dumb arse

[Canerbry]

BBarret's kickoffs are shocking.

[taniwharugby]

this ref making some odd calls

[Machpants]

That would not normally be called a maul

[westcoastie]

Surely Red had to release once that went to ground? was that even a maul? then if it was was did the collapse it?

[taniwharugby]

@Machpants assume you mean the Laumape one? I thought it was a maul but didnt think the ref had called it as such

[broughie]

What the hell is Jordie Barret doing with those no look passes?

Ben O'Thief.

Enjoying the game.

Read looks energetic if inaccurate.

Beaudie quiet so far.

[westcoastie]

Let me think about that half... Tiatia, Lam showed why they're not AB's, Fifita goes high with and without the ball. Jordie Barrett - just needs to play smarter

[Canerbry]

Player is on his feet, will Jordan holding him up and trying to rip the ball, ref calls "tackle - release". FFS.

Edit: according to twitter, Garden-Bachop got injured playing for the Hurricanes Hunters this afternoon; he's replaced by lock Kane

6/2 split means they can’t sub Tiatia early.

I’d swap him and Jordie around
