    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?

    He did both?

    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.

    You can't come over a ruck and slap the ball down off the nine

    He later told Billy Harmon the ball was out.

      Probably would've looked better if Lowe actually contested

          I'm not saying it wasn't a penalty, just his explanation on that (and a few other issues) hasn't made sense to me.

            He's actually offside at that point

            It's the weird thing of once the ruck ends the guys in the ruck are offside,

                          That is how you use a dominant scrum. Fucking good from Frizzel

                              The Blues should be ashamed for letting such a bog average team like this back in the game.

                                    Blues in real trouble here. Highlanders have really started focusing on their weakness.

                                    Not having 15 players on the pitch.

                                      Blues scrum is total shit. The boys lack mobility.

                                        Ofa ain't looking like an AB prop.

                                        Fakatava is overplaying his hand and the most guilty of throwing some dumb passes. The Highlanders created some chances before the YCs but didn't execute.

                                        At least we have a game now.
