That’s all black ball way back.
WTF?No, he took it out. The law changed a few years back.
And he’s literally a professional rugby player.

Please explain?
He left the field of play to catch the ball, hence he took it out.

Convert Coltman to a loosie. Can't throw for shit but can turn the ball over like a champ.
That’s one throw that didn’t go to hand. Not sure whether it was his problem or the lifters.

Hasn't been spectacular, but he's been OK.
Not looking for work, not beating other players, not popping up in the backline at all.
I guess thats ok.

Barnes is a terrible referee. And an unlikable human beging, judging from his way of communication.
He's actually a really really good ref, for about 98% of the game. Then there's these brain farts that just keep appearing. It's weird.
Still, he's not the Garces Poite axis of deal

We really belted them for the first part of the 2nd half, shame we've taken our foot off the throat, was looking like 60+ on the cards.

This game is summing up the ABs over the last 2-3 years.
Brilliant at times. Utterly flaky and unable to adjust at others.
