Rebels v Blues

[gt12]

Really surprised that the Rebels dont have one in the bin and 7 more points, but I guess that is the standard of refereeing we get.

[Chris B.]

Sonny Bill sits there quietly offering no thoughts on shoulder charges....

[Bones]

Guess I'm at odds with everyone else then, but that seemed like almost nothing to me. Hardly any impact and absolutely no lasting effect on play or player. Penalty.

Or are we calling card for every piece of foul play now?

No I thought the same. Low end.

SBW offering insightful rugby commentary at halftime-has he not done this before?

@kev not even high, just shoulder on shoulder, side on.

Definitely just a penalty IMO

Fuck our scrum is looking great, two better props to come on too.

Backs look terrible though.

@kirwan thoughts on nobody else being able to read Rieko's amazing planned pop passes to the ground?

Not playing the best, but is being heavily marked.

Tackling well, though.

You're pathetic Pickerill. That's clearly foul play.

Why's it pathetic? That's very fucken low end and definitely doesn't deserve a card, penalty seems spot on.

It's not bad timing or inept execution, it's clear foul play which can render a player unable to continue participating.

He looked, and sounded, like Guy Goma being interviewed on BBC.

Tom Robinson turns to his halfback and says, "Look I have my own minime!"

Fairly easy to say it's inept execution or bad timing. He was surprised and didn't have time to get his arm up.

He had time to change his body shape to shoulder charge instead.

Christie is getting better and that exit shows why he might be getting ahead of the others - nice clean exit which is crucial in this competition.

[NTA]

The Rebels are awful.

Wessels wasn't the whole problem - Powell and Toomua just don't work

[Bones]

@antipodean nah he was already lining up to tackle, but Renata straightened and reduced his time.
