All from Gibson's rubbish penalty. Cheers fella.

Lack of effort from Gibson. He didn’t even slow the ball down by being there

Yep. If anything Dalton was going to win a penalty.

Its the same shit every season from the Blues.

The scrum is going well. The ref has not rewarded the dominance as much as he should.

I think the Blues have the wind in the second half?

I’d sub Gibson and get Akira on early

And Plummer, in these conditions we need every kick.

I've read that here Gibson is a FAB, so unlikely to get subbed

A few years outdated there. Injuries have wrecked his career.

One for Nepia there! Nice line

[Kirwan]

Beautiful kick from Sotutu!

Agree.

And hate our goalkicking.

[antipodean]

Thank christ Perofeta can't kick or this game would be over.

[Kirwan]

Not even high IMO

On the ball and shoulder. Penalty under current rules, but looks worse.

FFS, Kafer's saying not too bad ...

[Kirwan]

Complete bullshit

Complete bullshit

100%

Never a card. but that's the modern game. Not sure what he did wrong there, it's really tough

[antipodean]

That's a bullshit YC

[Kirwan]

Blues defence has been good tonight

[Stargazer]

I think they applied the framework wrong. IIRC, you only need a mitigating factor (making it YC instead of RC) if there's direct contact with the head. In this case, there was no direct contact; it slipped up. IMO it should have been a penalty.
