Three points is for losers...

Didn't the Hurricanes win the first round encounter with the Highlanders by taking a penalty right at the end to win the game?

[Tim]

How the hell is Tiatia starting a Super Rugby game?

Worse than Collins.

[Stargazer]

Messy, but a good try from Frizell.

[Stargazer]

Now TJP with the try!

Exciting game this!

[Tim]

TJP really good in those phases.

[Stargazer]

Only half heard the commentators. Has Buckman gone off for a HIA?

[Toddy]

@Stargazer looked like an achilles or a hammie

[Stargazer]

@Toddy Shit, hopefully it's not too bad.

[Machpants]

FFS Tiatia

The stadium really supports good open rugby being played. Good to watch, bet the players love it. Like playing hockey on turf instead of grass

[Chris]

For all the good things Chase Titia does play breaks down around him alot too many times momentum is lost.

Ben may is useless

[Toddy]

Looked like a knock on.

[gt12]

That’s a shit decision.

Always has been. If he wasn't a gym junky he'd never have been a prop. Easy to use strength against inferior opposition, but technical limitations show up very quickly at this level.

Not clear enough on my 4K TV

[Stargazer]

The problem is the "clear and obvious" bit that is necessary to overrule the on-field decision. It may have been a knock-on, but I don't think it was clear and obvious. So the on-field decision (try) stands.

[Toddy]

That's one of the reasons why he isn't off to the world cup.

I'll do the Ken Laban annouincement - The try was scored by Ash Dixon (Napier Tech Old Boys)

[Tim]

Awful throw from Riccitelli.
