Clear yellow. Marshall is talking nonsense as usual.

[Stargazer]

That tackle didn't go beyond the horizontal.

Yes it was. Silly from Dean Mumm.

Does he purposely make himself look like a fucktard? I'm starting to think so.

[hydro11]

I would be happy with penalty only there.

[antipodean]

Why is Marshall employed as a commentator, because Phil Kearns is? Is it a SANZAAR quota issue? Every country needs an ignorant arsehole who won't shut up?

@hydro11

He didn't land in a dangerous position as he was able to take some of the impact with his arms, but technically he went past the horizontal so the ref was left with no choice. I don't have a lot of sympathy - lifting players like that is stupid play.

I think it did, but whether it did or not is irrelevant. You can't pick a guy up and drop him so he lands on his shoulder/head.

[Tordah]

Naiyaravoro so fucking slow to turn there. Nice try Li

[No Quarter]

Feki fucking toa, since when can you put in deft chips like that? Pin point accuracy exploiting the big man on the wing - smart play.

I see where you are coming from. That was the sort of tackle which could have been a red had things gone wrong.

[Damo]

Great passage of play leading to a wonderful turn.

Hope that miss doesn't prove costly.

[taniwharugby]

NIce by Feki there!

A few shoulders charges into rucks going on by both teams.

WR have said that a player bracing with his hands is irrelevant. Can't escape sanction because you are lucky the tacklee braced himself.

Buckman getting his form back from 2015. Intriguing player...I really do think his game would be suited to test rugby.

[Rembrandt]

Some awesome signs for the Lions series. A Smith playing with confidence, B Smith beating tackles at will and Fekitoa showing some attacking nous to compliment his excellent defence. Not perfect but very promising.
