All Blacks v France Test #1

[Stargazer]

And - as the commentators are saying - why no HIA for Cane and Ofa?

[Kirwan]

Where is the TMO?

[Toddy]

That's some hometown reffing right there.

[NTA]

Lol if the French one was yellow that's a straight red.

[Rapido]

Good ref decision in my opinion re: head high, ref explaining he was ducking down into it.

Disclaimer, I don't know the fucking rules anymore and the games gone soft. But imo ref was spot on.

[No Quarter]

If I'm a French fan I'm fucking spewing right now.

[Tim]

@stargazer Yeah, that's not a good look.

[gt12]

Bullshit. Cane should have got a YC for that.

And an HIA FFS.

[Damo]

Cane should be in the bin for sure.

[Stargazer]

Laumape on for Crotty. McKenzie replaced Jordie. Boooooo

[taniwharugby]

given Canes history, why no HIA?

[No Quarter]

BFA should have been subbed.

[Stargazer]

Rieko!!!!

[broughie]

@broughie Premonition. Crotty off. They knew his luck would not last. Great game.

Ducking into it is irrelevant. We're not at "under the tits" level here but it's still straight contact to the head.

After Crotty milked a yellow with his "O" face that's a red.

[Kirwan]

Pace!

[Tim]

Lineout has been good all game.

[booboo]

Too. Fucking. Easy.

[Donsteppa]

Terrible defence from the French right winger.

[No Quarter]

It was a YC, and the French tackle was penalty only. Poor reffing when he can easily go upstairs.
