Highlanders v Force

[chimoaus]

UJ has been playing well tonight.

[Derpus]

Pasitoa has turned attack into defence with every single touch. Blokes pretty fucking shite.

[Bones]

Even Marshall is dominating the force.

[Derpus]

I dont get mauls. Why couldnt he tackle the guy?

Swam around the side, then changed bind

[Grooter]

It's great to have a consistent goal kicker out there tonight

[Bones]

Hey BOK if a player is obstructing and gets pushed under his own player...it's obstruction eh.

[chimoaus]

Refs need to call out when halfback puts hands on it I reckon.

[Grooter]

good work Holland

[antipodean]

This game highlights yet again the benefit Aaron brings when teams make the effort to provide quick ruck ball.

Back to the old rules, I agree. But not the law as it stands

[Derpus]

@Machpants How do you ever get to the ball if you cant change your bind?

[Grooter]

Oh yes boy I enjoyed That!

[chimoaus]

@Machpants when is the ball out of the ruck, when the 9 picks it up? I just get the shits when the 9 feints and the defenders get on back foot.

[Derpus]

anyway this is shockers. Have a good night lads.

[Bones]

Think we've found our hooker combo and our ten. Hunt will be great off the bench.

It was both, if he stayed on the side and didn't do anything but pushed he might have got away with it. But he made it obvious he got to the ball carrier illegally so got pinged.

Your best chance is coming next.

[chimoaus]

Gotta say the Force have been shit.

Yeah out once it comes off the ground, not as it used to be as soon as he touches it with his hands. You're not allowed too fake a pick up, but nines often used a'look' as the same thing. The refs should be much harsher in what's a feint, and what's a look, I agree
