I wasn't sure where to put this video. Rieko can ground the ball correctly if he wants to.

Not often, but... I counted 11 tries where he wasn't doing the "one hand on ball touch-down diving over the top of it and letting go as he does it" - and all of those were because he was forced into grounding "properly".
It's obviously a move he has decided looks cool... and was eventually going to bite him in the arse. Luckily... it's only happened 1/15 times, so... I dunno. Let him continue thinking it looks cool? Or not?

I'd go with not.

It makes him look like a dickhead when a try is disallowed. That is seriously uncool.

@Bones

Brilliant match analyst.

My idea of commentary heaven would be Andrew Cotter, Bayfield & Smithy on the touchline.

Never gets old. Yes the tackle and turnover was class but the line McCaw ran to get to Gerrard was brilliant.

A little late to the party here, but nice to see Mauger pat Mortlock on the back as he waltzes his way through our defensive line - very charitable.

I'm still waiting for the All Blacks channel to release a full length cleaned up version of The good, the bad, and the rugby.

This is obviously transferred from VHS.

@daffy-jaffy Love the call from the ref after a bust up: "It was always going to happen, but I'm not going to let it happen twice."

Greg Smith was always a grub, and threw a bunch on a prone player in the ruck.
