Cullen, Kirwan and Mils all on the panel said they don't agree with the red cards. I think most players know rugby is a physical game. Intentional acts should be punished harshly but not ones players have no control over.

I wonder if Sumo will call them out on Twitter as well.......

God the ref, how did he miss that forward pass?

[Gunner]

Sam Cane’s improved his running game this year hasn’t he. He’s pretty heavy footed, but he runs good lines!

Here's why I'm not against either red card.

The problem is that the margin between Ofa's tackle being perfectand being a red card is so small. I'm not sure what Ofa did technically wrong. If you were his coach, how would you get him to change his technique so he pulled off a legal tackle?

Don't be so fucking lazy and get lower. You can do it at scrum time.

At scrum tim you know the other player will be at the same height.

But you KNOW that you can't tackle above the level of the shoulders. It's lazy driving up from chest height

Best thing Karl T has done all night was run a good dummy in that build up to create space for Cane.

Of course everyone came to watch the referee. Shameful.

I agree with Toddy, but thought Savea and Cane have not been bad.
At the moment (on not enough evidence) and considering Akira was good in the lineout as well I think Frizell could be under a bit of competitive pressure..

[KiwiMurph]

This passive AB attack is really shit

[nostrildamus]

Why did White choose rugby over UFC?

[nostrildamus]

TJP is paid in Australian dollars.

When was the last time a halfback has been freekicked for faking to clear the ball from a ruck?

[Kirwan]

We are playing a bit shit

@NTA Yes, but protecting people’s brains and preserving the spectacle are not incompatible concepts

But that presumes that red cards act as a deterrent to high tackles. If that was true, we should now see less high tackles and less red cards. Correct?

[ACT Crusader]

The support play is a little lacking.

You're assuming players use their brain all the time

[nostrildamus]

Our forwards were better when Akira was on. Perhaps SB is a bit tired and SW should have had an HIA

All Blacks look messy as hell. Poor passing is wasting time with one man advantage.

Too excited by being a man up
