Shoulder charges are ok if Comms say so? Shoulder charge is always a yellow</p></blockquote>

Really? Since when? You see plenty of no arms tackles being penalty only. <br><br>
Sharks 6 lucky to not get a card there doing a pocock to fekitoas head and driving him into the ground.

<p>you'd think whichever team decides to play some half decent % rugby, will win this, easily</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>Limas prolific boot off target so they go for the corner</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>gotta be a YC</p>

<p>I get the feeling landers will still put a few on them yet...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Would like them to take the ball in to contact a bit lower as they are getting held up too often</p>

[No Quarter]

Another penalty. Sharks in danger of losing another player soon. How have the Landers not scored yet.

[taniwharugby]

<p>Sharks doing well with alot of foul play at ruck time slowing the ball</p>

[Toddy]

<p>Must be a second yellow coming up...</p>

<p> </p>
<p>foul play!</p>

[Toddy]

<p>Also did the Beast grab at the ref? I thought he did but can't replay it.</p>

[Mattasaurus]

<p>very scrappy 40mins...</p>

[Unco]

<p>Should've just gone for a fucking kick. Must've been 10 minutes they were in the Sharks 22 but ended up with 0 points out of it.</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>I thought he ruled the scrum there then blows half-time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>good  period of (illegal) defence there to hold the Highlanders out.</p>

<p>what has his landing to do with it, if he had somersaulted, landing on his feet, would it be treated the same?</p>

<p>This. Saying it should be a red because of how Le Roux landed is like saying it shouldn't be a red because Le Roux wasn't injured. It was a red because Emery's actions were reckless, dangerous and had a high potential of seriously injuring Le Roux. That is a true statement however Le Roux landed.</p>

[gt12]

Went back and checked Sopoaga's early shoulder. I reckon he's quite lucky to have not be YC.<br><br>
Would be good to see landers steal this. They were a bit shit, but they are in it.

[Mattasaurus]

<p>JJ is such a loss to the Highlanders</p>

[Mattasaurus]

<p>10m circle surely</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>dumb there by Dixon after the great chase moments before</p>

[Glath]

<p>Do Faddes and Wilson ever catch anything?</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Highlanders need to continue playing up tempo rugby. They won't win any other way.</p>
