[sparky]

37 test tries for Ben Smith. One of the greats....

[Stargazer]

Rieko doesn't seem to want to pass to Bridge ..

Ofa in trouble

Would you prefer he gave him passes in a worse position like he got the other night? He gave him a nice kick pass too.

Old Rieko would've scored that.

Over the hill at 22

Ffs

[Bones]

Hilarious. Penalises the ABs for going straight to ground.

[Nepia]

Sheesh, another yellow.

[taniwharugby]

thought he said initially it was ok?

[kiwiinmelb]

So difficult to tackle someone that low

[sparky]

Contact from Ofa T on the players' neck, but he was on his knees. Yellow card. Tough call.

[Chris]

This is getting really stupid how do you tackle a falling player when they are falling with their head first

[taniwharugby]

was at thigh height...what a joke

[gt12]

So the strategy is fall over into a tackle and earn a yellow card.

[MrDenmore]

This is farcical. Players falling into the tackler. What are you supposed to do??

[Yeetyaah]

This fucking ref. Such a shithead. Useless frog is treating Namibia like a thalidomide child trying to play softball.

[Stargazer]

NObody, really NObody, can say that ABs get favourable treatment from refs. What a bs.

[No Quarter]

I'm uncomfortable with YC'ing players that make contact with the head on attackers that are falling to the ground head first into the tackle.

but when the player is falling and ends up leading with the arm, how the fuck are you supposed to not hit him in the head...
