        Mile forward. Highlanders should have just conceded the try and come back.

          I’m behind the play, but I’m unsure how Dixon’s tackle is only yellow.

          No malice he says, but most red cards we see these days have no malice, so it’s irrelevant.

          Just wait until you see a red mitigated to a penalty 😬

          I cannot believe that we started at red when a guy literally tripped over, versus yellow for a tackle where a guy aimed with force to hit the key playmaker of the opposite team in the head with his shoulder.

          To be fair, the shoulder to head did start at red, they just wrongly mitigated it down to yellow saying it wasn't directly to the head.

                Blues halves and their option taking leaves a lot to be desired.

                    Could've sworn i saw a penalty reversed back to a scrum because of a knock on a week or two ago...🤔

                      Was a mile forward and were lucky to get 3 there, but lets be honest, Ash Dixon should have seen red for what he did.

                            @act-crusader Nah pretty hard to give that one yellow when Nareki's contact forced the slip imo.

                            If it got given yellow however, I could see the reasoning behind it but penalty only fair call imo.

                              Putting aside our allegiances and whether or not there should have be yellows or red cards, isn’t it good to have a full compliment of players on the field for the sake of the game.

                                  Blues have to commit a forward to the back of many rucks, as Christie is late to the ruck.

                                    Game still over. Highlanders endeavour just isn't gonna overcome blues power. Especially with these mistakes and poor decisions by leaders.

                                    One thing I've noticed about Parkinson which must count heavily (geddit) against him...his concrete boots look even heavier than the ones Papalii used to wear.

                                    Nareki playing his way out of AB selection musings.

                                        I’m behind the play, but I’m unsure how Dixon’s tackle is only yellow.

                                        No malice he says, but most red cards we see these days have no malice, so it’s irrelevant.

                                        Just wait until you see a red mitigated to a penalty 😬

                                        Refs got the Heem call correct.

                                        Clearly the impact with Nareki caused Heem to fall into that one. To card someone for a complete accident would be setting a fucking awful precedent.

                                          Blues have to commit a forward to the back of many rucks, as Christie is late to the ruck.

                                          @tim everything is slow from the rucks, lineouts etc which allows the Highlanders to get back into position. Imagine Aaron Smith behind the Blues.
