Probably a yellow for Eklund here.

Sure seems all the NZ teams so far have dropped their standards since playing the Aussie teams.

Ref is the only reason this game is close.

Yeah but a lot of mistakes by all the NZ teams
Blues didn’t play well last week against the Dura.
All the NZ teams haven’t played that well in my opinion.

[Kirwan]

If that’s a card, completely bullshit.

I love this defense.

Commentators are waahing on about it now, but they’re right, it is a difference between recent Blues teams and this year.

With the rules that's always gonna be trouble

Holy shit, common sense might apply.

Jesus, as if the refereeing isn't bad enough, the TMO engages "hold my beer" mode. The game is royally fucked.

[African Monkey]

@Kirwan At the same time we should have come away with a try when we were down there. That was down to us.

Did he just pass to Kahui?

[KiwiMurph]

@antipodean yes

[number9]

This ref has kept the Force in the game, fucken ridiculous.

[KiwiMurph]

This is a tough watch

[African Monkey]

@number9 Has he? Don't think Gardiner has been too bad personally or am I on my own there?

He's been bad but Blues have also been sloppy. Both are true.

[African Monkey]

@KiwiMurph Think our own sloppiness has contributed to this game being this close.

[Nevorian]

Not sure how but the Force have outplayed the Blues so far in this second half

100%

It's going to cost them at least a bonus point if they don't switch on.

[antipodean]

Gardner is normally bad, but not deliberately biased. I guess that's the best we can hope for these days; no howlers that define a game.
