Brumbies v Crusaders

Nepia

TBF the Crusaders would have been in the shit anyway as Grace held back the attacker as well.

Bones

@Bones penalty try was rough call

Yeah after they just showed the replay again it's a terrible call. If Strange hadn't got there first, the Brumbies player was just going to do the exact same thing.

Ponies survive. Just. However Ponies of old would have made mincemeat of this Saders side.

@Grooter People watch too much league these days.

They were both trying to hand the game over at times

Settle fella. Larks, Gregs, Morts and Roffy are LONG retired.

@Jailbreak7 Saders of old would have also made mincemeat of the Brumbies side.

Imagine what the crusaders of old would have done to them.

Or the 96 blues team

Or the 03 Blues team. Or today’s Hurricanes team if you believe some on here.

@Bones It's the rule though.

SBW did it in a test against France in 2017 with no one near him but the rule is the rule, you can't do that.

African Monkey

@Bones Haha great minds think alike.

The rule is it's a penalty try? No it's not.

African Monkey

@Bones If someone is near the ball and gets denied a chance to catch it then it is.

Astonishingly the 2-10 Crusaders aren't out of the playoffs yet. They could get there with two wins.

I think it was a PK but a penalty try was a bit harsh. Can it really be said it prevented a "probable try"?

Likely depends on th definition of "probable".

To put my lawyer hat on I recall there was a Court of Appeal precedent about the meaning of probable in the context of murder. If I recall correctly the CA said it did not mean "more likely than not" but just a reasonable likelihood.

I digress.

Makes no difference because it would have been a PK in front of the posts and a loss anyway.

I'm watching the interviews with two pantomime horses dancing in the background. Mrs M comes in, notices and asks if I've tuned to a kids channel...

African Monkey

Despite the last play, the Crusaders can feel annoyed after that shocking forward pass that Tom Wright threw was missed.

I thought I saw the Canes get away with some shockers last night, but that just took the piss.

It might be somewhere in the laws, but that's not what happened.
