@damo once the ref calls fulltime can the TMO still intervene at all?
I don't know but the TMO can only intervene within the guidelines. The TMO can't intervene to look at a possible ruck infringement.
@damo yeah I'd have thought once he blows fulltime, unless it is foul/dirty play, it is over.

Can't blame ardie, he just did as ordered by coaches.
He's still the captain on the field.
I thought there was a crusader just lying at the back of that ruck who must have come across the line of touch to get there and made no effort to get out of the way.
You're not the only one. It was obvious to me.

Glad I wasn't alone. Not a single replay of it for some reason.
Ardie very unhappy in post match interview. He's normally pretty classy so that means he saw something.

So Bridge played well then?

Take Ardie and Jordie out of this team and they'll struggle (Fatty doesn't play this well every week).
The problem with nailing on Jordie as 12 for the ABs after this match is that he seemed to be floating all over the field, which is not what the ABs need.

@nepia Yes but he wants to be involved. Without he play the cane would have been swamped. In a AB enviroment, at least with a different coach, he would not have to wear as many hats could play his position. Even Ardie could play a more robust 2nd five than Havilli.

Still got the W though.
It will be interesting to see who gets the home semifinals.
Yeah we did if we get our game together we will be hard to beat.
Crusaders ,Blues/Chiefs I think.
I can’t see the Brumbies or Reds winning enough games against the Nz teams to stay in the top 2. -
@chris really if you had a smarter team playing you would have lost. The Crusader mistique of old is lost.

Maybe but winning ugly still keeps you on top.
A long way to the Finals yet. -
