@antipodean i thought the rules stated that you have to yellow card when issuing a penalty try.

That's correct, but who is at fault in that scrum? Not sure I'd trust the ref to make that call correctly.

Agree regarding the outcome.

1 in 14. That's better odds than normal, right?

[Derpus]

@bones nor do the refs, apparently.

Kneepkens on please

Lovely box kick Nock.

[Derpus]

So trying to put a positive spin on this tripe, Bell and Gordon both look really good. A couple of locks and wingers and the Waratahs might actually be able to compete with someone.

When he gets the distance right they are always contestable, because he gets so much height.

[gt12]

Neepkins with a good first touch. Nice turnover

[antipodean]

As good as Zarn has been, and he has, Otere has been poor.

I found this...

A penalty try is awarded between the goal posts if foul play by the opposing team prevents a probable try from being scored, or scored in a more advantageous position. A player guilty of this must be cautioned and temporarily suspended or sent off. No conversion is attempted.

Maybe it's semantics...."a player" but not "a front row".

Looked forward

[gt12]

Touch judge is right there.

[Derpus]

That pretty much sums up the last 10 years of Australian rugby

I cant believe that wasn’t checked, has the video ref already started on the Ham sandwiches?

[taniwharugby]

@gt12 he saw Smithy walking toward him so went to lock the door

[gt12]

Blues win by plenty but you’d have to say they left plenty out there.

[Derpus]

@gt12 kiwis rolling out their b game against the reserve grade teams.

Seriously, though. Gotta do something about the refs.

[nzzp]

Top of the table. Need to lift to compete with reds and Brumbies, but we'll take it

[Kruse]

Well - in hindsight, it was a fucking travesty that after the Ref gave that YC - he didn't give another one for the deliberate knock-on in the same play, and when giving the penalty-try - he didn't give another YC to some random forward.

I'd like to think that a 12-man Waratahs team wouldn't have been able to score that last try of theirs, and fuck not one, but two, of my "Category bonus points" in the tipping.
