Leon MacDonald still hasn't figured out Laulala with the ball is a woeful option.

Good sustained footy from the Highlanders and that's a deserved reward.

This is a fun game

@KiwiMurph cant believe how many needless penalties there were from the Blues front row leading up to the Hunt try

Bs call; that was a try.

I can see the refs thinking

He's well short, and the only reason he gets there is he has to drive with the knees

I can see it either way, wouldn't have cared if it was given

The ref didn't say that though. He said he had two movements, which I don't think was correct. He was tackled and then reached out. If he propelled himself with his knees, that is different.

Landers please Stop throwing those fucking speculators....

Thought Christie collared someone in earlier phase....

Some strange refereeing decisions, or at least explanations. Has he just ruled a deliberate knock down for knocking the ball out of someone's hands, or was the penalty for diving over a ruck after the ball is out?

[Mackerzzzz]

Again the Highlanders with a stupid pass

[taniwharugby]

@hydro11 the latter I think

[mariner4life]

@hydro11 maybe listen to the ref as he says

"You can't dive over the ruck to slap the ball."

He did both?

[number9]

What the fuck Eckland.

[Mackerzzzz]

Thanks. I don't really see how either is a penalty. Surely you can go over a ruck once the ball is out (it is no longer a ruck) and I have never seen a deliberate knock on ruled when someone else is actually carrying a ball.

Jesus Patty T has terrible hands
