Reds v Blues

[African Monkey]

Oh fuck! Possible game changer here.

[Tanifulla]

this ref is an absolute peanut

[Canes4life]

@Dice Best game since that Rebels game to open the season a couple of years ago.

[Chris]

Hahaha seen may of those not pulled up this season

[Jailbreak7]

This ref should NOT ref another SR game

[number9]

Faggot bloody ref.

[Canes4life]

This is not a great advertisement for Super Rugby. Bloody shambles.

[KiwiMurph]

Right decision but took an age to get there.

[Bones]

That's a farken terrible call. Has pickerell already got a wc spot?

[Stargazer]

@Bones No, it was the right call.

[Crucial]

Good old Pickerell. Pulu was never held in that tackle. says 'clearly holding him when he went to ground' when they were bouncing off him. Twit.

[Chris]

@Bones yeah as a AR I think

[African Monkey]

Hodgman should have been penalised there imo.

[Higgins]

@Bones Yes, an official touch judge.

[hydro11]

Pickerill was right. His hands don't leave the ball and if he does it goes forward. Others may have gone unnoticed but there is always more scrutiny when a try is on the line.

On what basis? Has to be held by the tackler with knee on ground. Touching isn't holding

[kev]

Some of the Blues loose forwards need to use their shoulders when they tackle.

[KiwiMurph]

Plummer tried to be too cute there.

Hope you aren't talking about Mr Ioane?

Ok so which one of the guys not holding Pulu when he went to ground was the supposed tackler? The one looking in the other direction?
