North vs South

[voodoo]

I'm far from Dmacs biggest fan, but I have to admit he has been pretty good so far, great support lines.

[sparky]

No need to panic. I think the North will up the tempo when Nugget comes on.

[Tim]

@Toddy Yep it was clear, and Sanders gave away a clear ruck penalty that wasn't called.

Sevu such a hungus.

Double up vote for such a quality kiwi term

[antipodean]

Not clear and obvious he wasn't back 10. That should be a try.

He can't come on soon enough because TJ has stunk the place up tonight

To be fair to TJP, he made a try - although he should look better; he's only marking Webber.

@junior I thought his work in the build up to DMac's try was great.

@antipodean Mental note: never ask antipodean for a carpet or concrete quote

[antipodean]

Has Savea done anything all night?

Put a Blues player on in his place.

[junior]

North fringe defence is non-existent

[Rebound]

@antipodean yes it does. That what the law defines a maul

[Tim]

@antipodean One good tackle, a lot of penalties, slow off the scrum.

That's how it becomes a maul.

A maul ends and play continues when:

• The ball or ball-carrier leaves the maul.
• The ball is on the ground.
• The ball is on or over the goal line.

[sparky]

Good game, not much in it, the ref has been poor.

[Rebound]

So you answered your own question. The ball carrier left the maul. Hence those in front of him was offside

[Tim]

Looking forward to TJ describing another Crusaders player as a scientist.

Why the fuck are they using Reece in midfield instead of Clarke?

He was still bound to other players from the maul, so the maul continues.

[Tim]

Aumua's throwing not good enough.

The ball carrier and those bound to him ...therefore still a maul
