Premiership Semi-Final: Auckland v Waikato

[Tim]

Damn, great try. Two crappy mistakes in the lead up.

[Steven Harris]

Is there any coincidence that this game has been all over the place and the official is Pickerall ..?

No.

[KiwiMurph]

Scrafton AGAIN.

[Tim]

Yes please.

[KiwiMurph]

Roe should be running more.

[Yeetyaah]

Waikato needed to go for the corner there I think. As the commentators said, there's still plenty of time, but for momentum they needed the corner.

[Yeetyaah]

Waaka too slow

Yep, he got caught by a 10, and not a BB one either, a fairly chunky one.

[Steven Harris]

@KiwiMurph stop giving the other team ideas

[Yeetyaah]

Kick again. Whyyyyyy

[Yeetyaah]

Jesus Christ. Why the fuck didn't they go for the corner. So stupid.

[Yeetyaah]

Misa with the Waikato braids.

Pickerall is always super quick on the breakdown penalty.

Consistent both ways but the problem is it means the games he refs are super stop start.

My problem with breakdown penalties, and this is not just him, is that often there will be at least one or two attackers cleaning out the guy going for the ball, and they still get the penalty anyway despite the fact it all happens in a split second. (Unless of course they changed that law since I last read the laws).

[KiwiMurph]

That sums up Plummer as a goal kicker.

[Yeetyaah]

Did that knock on only come as the Auckland player came in off his feet?

[Tim]

Man this has been a frustrating watch.

[Steven Harris]

@Tim both teams finding ways to lose this game , Auckland probably the bigger culprit
