Hurricanes v Crusaders
-
I have to say that Williams really does see things that aren’t there and doesn’t see things that are.
He’s quite baffling and judging by the player reactions they think so to.
He had a running discussion with the halfbacks trying to explain why a ball sitting well out the back of a ruck/scrum isn’t out in his opinion -

Don't disagree that it's lucky to be yellow in the context of current rulings, but I also think it SHOULD be only yellow. There was no intent to hurt (like a big punch), no way to inflict real harm if it went slightly askew (like a tip tackle or neck roll)
It was a dickhead move, and a yellow is right.
Just like there was no intent to hurt when old mate from Scotland got marched a couple of weeks ago for a forearm to the neck area going into a tackle.
This one is worse IMO, he deliberately dropped his forearm into a guy who was on the ground.

He did that to hurt him too, it’s a RC and pretty dirty

Love looks a bit like a young Cruden.
So he'll be starring for the Chiefs in a couple of years then ....

NZ refs seem to look very, very hard for reasons to mitigate against cards.
I'm not sure it does us a favour when we're playing international rugby, because it seems to me that refs from most other countries are much more willing to dish cards - and our players don't learn to be disciplined enough.
I'll be pretty surprised if the judiciary don't decide that meets the red card threshold. That was actually a bit of dirt.

Wtf was that Havili?

Great IWL gets blamed for the bad lineout. He was good in the first half.

Ardie Savea doesn't look good.
