Blues v Hurricanes

[Stargazer]

Yellow for JT-A. Canes had that coming ...

[Stockcar86]

Frankly JTA off is advantage to the Canes

[Machpants]

Nah canes don't have a scrum, everyone breasts canes scrum

I'm canes fan, I'd yellow TJ for that. Was a mistake, but tough

[Kirwan]

Can we just scrum here for 30mins?

[Stargazer]

Geldenhuys on. Talking about journeymen ...

[Donsteppa]

A deserved yellow for scrumming like butter. TJP should have gone for the previous play, which was very cynical.

[Kirwan]

Akira through Lam?

[Steven Harris]

Bryant so did not want to give that penalty..!

[Damo]

The previous PK against TJP was harsh. No.8 had clearly unbound with the ball at his feet.

[Kirwan]

This ref is a joke

[Donsteppa]

Blues really do not want to score a try here....

[antipodean]

Why isn't the Blues captain telling the ref they'll decide what they'll do at the scrum thanks very much.

[Machpants]

Yes! Lam great flanker

[Kirwan]

Bones won’t be happy, Reiko looks angry

Same reason that players don't get penalised for joining rucks with shoulders below hips, it's just the way is done nowadays.

Edit. Not saying it's right, but if the scrum doesn't move they say use it

[MN5]

Those Ioanes are niggly fucks

[kev]

Now he gets it. Bryant is inconsistent.

[Chris B.]

What did he mean, "We can't go on if they stand up"?

"So if they stand up illegally next time we still don't get a penalty try? You shoulda been reffing last week!"

[Damo]

That was stupid by those blues forwards. Obvious PK.

[Steven Harris]

Akira Ioane showing his temperament is way off the standard of international number 8, between him and Pulu the can’t figure out how to keep TJ out of pressing errors...very poor got the dominant scrum and still can’t get it right between them..
