Highlanders vs. Blues

Great game that. Squire's injection looks to have been the difference.

[Tim]

That was terrible in the last 20. A thoroughly amateur refereeing performance.

[pakman]

Pratley's failure to pass threw it away.

Absolutely justified from Collins. This is terrible reffing.

What game are you watching?

Nutbrown hasnt been perfect but deserves credit for allowing a positive game by policing offside well and allowing a good contest at the ruck

[KiwiMurph]

@pakman How Prattley has a super rugby contract is ridiculous. He cant scrum, he has poor skills, he gives away penalties, and he keeps getting selected - unbelievable

[Tim]

@Mattasaurus Bullshit. Two shocking non-calls on clear ruck penalties, a couple of forward passes, a knock-on, and then a the incorrect call at the end. A lot of shit calls in the last 20 of a game.

It looks like BNZ are on the blues collar....
SBW must bank with the Bank of Allah.

Well that's a weird one then.

Not weird at all (if it's a bank). Islam prohibits charging interest on money.

Not sure if the tape is a good look though.

Well, they prohibit calling what they're charging interest at any rate ....

I would be skitzing if I was BNZ. (Unless they were told that certain individuals could do that when they signed on)

Ofa is no different, but he made the ABs!

[Mattasaurus]

Some great performances... too many to call out.

Squires showed exactly what tge ab selectors wanted i would say

Moulds is shit. Faiava needs to be the new bench hooker.

BS, Moulds is trucken all good. He's better than Parsons, and the other guy G P-T some have a curious affection for.

[pakman]

In second half:
Nut Brown seemed to succumb to home town blinkers. Thought first half OK apart from hilarious maul error.
Squire made strong statement as Kaino successor. Loose forward battle switched.
P.S. Still like Luatua as best fall back to Read.

[taniwharugby]

@Hooroo although ironically, it probably gives them more exposure because he put tape over it

[Tim]

@Northlandallday Needs to work on his throwing though.

Indeed, there are loopholes that are used (quite cynically) Still, not a total surprise a Muslim might not want to advertise a bank.

[Gunner]

Surely a player, regardless of their religion can't be allowed to cover up a sponsors logo.

If I was that sponsor I'd be pretty fucking pissed having no doubt paid thousands of dollars for the right to have a logo there.

Cant be different rules for different people, especially religion based ones.
