How is it offside if ball goes back? These referrals are an absolute farce

That's irrelevant.

If you are in front of the last team mate to play the ball you are offside until put onside.

Does retreating to the point they last touched the ball not count as putting yourself onside?

Yes, or getting behind the player who last played it. That didn't happen though.

I agree that he didn’t, but as that wasn’t the ruling, how does that work?

Christie coulda played that but waited for the ref to blow it

I think it was the ruling (or should have been) but they did a bad job of explaining it

[taniwharugby]

@anonymous yea right call but botched how they explained it

[gt12]

Norris has good feet around contact

[KiwiMurph]

Tjizz gets so excited haha.

That’s my understanding too, as if the ball was touched by someone and went backwards you’d have to go behind that point to then pick it up, therefore youre not offside?

No. The laws make it clear you have to be put onside:

Other than under Law 10.4c, an offside player can be put onside when:

An onside team-mate of that player moves past the offside player and is within or has re-entered the playing area

An opponent of that player:
* Carries the ball five metres; or
* Passes the ball; or
* Kicks the ball; or*

Law 10.4c refers to kicks. So you have to be put onside by an onside team mate or an action of the opposing team.

@kev Tom Robinson trying to do the work of his whole forward pack ..

[Canes4life]

Jeez that’s a fair few infringements by the Blues on their own goal line.

[Yeetyaah]

Chiefs should go for a try here rather than fucking around with the kick

[Tim]

Blues look low on confidence.

Looks tall for a prop

TTT really has gone backwards eh. That was a try gone begging down the gaping right hand side, but he can't play head's up.

Pretty poor captaincy by Wainui - you’d imagine that a Cane or Weber would. Have mentioned it a thousand times by now

[Steven Harris]

@tim highlighting how poor their backline attack is ..it really is woeful

[Hooroo]

Blues should be blowing this team apart.

Hey, is your hooker (Ekland??? Is it) From South African parents??

They don’t do it as well,though if they learnt a lot more they may have been in the final
