Rebels vs Highlanders

[Damo]

I think it's OK.

Didn't think so live.

@Nepia Southland player Rory van Vugt. Made his debut last week.

I clearly don't watch enough Southland matches.

Good call.

I think the ball got down slightly before the foot - but by a fraction. Blow trying to ref that in realtime

[taniwharugby]

@nzzp although ref got it right in real time...but yeah he looked like he was running in concrete

[taniwharugby]

Smith shoulda been pinged...but Rebs score anyway.

that's classic TMO bollocks

[taniwharugby]

@nzzp should go back to Smith playing ball while off his feet, but no...

I dunno - both players were off their feet playing the ball. Smith gave up pretty quickly and got out of the way to allow the ball to come quickly. PK against Smith would have been harsh.

obligatory: I hate the goal line dropout law

[taniwharugby]

@Damo fair call, but for me he did enough while off his feet to affect the next phase to warrant a penalty.

[Damo]

Good lineout strategy by the Rebels to push the lifter out of the way. I bet on average you get away with that.

Foolish from Clan to try and score immediately and throw no look passes. Just hold the ball after a break.

[taniwharugby]

Quite like the look of Dickson.

[Damo]

One more try and I will begin to relax.

Bloody Canes for putting us in this position.

[Stargazer]

@Damo I really hate games this late on a Sunday afternoon. They've given me a reason to be keen to watch. Agree it shouldn't have been the case though.

[Stargazer]

Geez, both teams are competing for the "worst ball handling award".

[taniwharugby]

The rebs Hooker should be off for HIA

HIA are all good, but damn I hate seeing refs teapotting watching the big screen

[taniwharugby]

@nzzp yep, just mark it as an incident to be looked at post game, instead of fucking the flow of the game by rewatching over and over looking for something

Unfortunately the no look passes have infected a number of the super teams..

[Stargazer]

Dammit.
