worst reffing performance so far this year

He misses so much obvious stuff and the breakdown is always "interesting".
How Murphy let Proctor roll and roll in the leadup to Blackwell's try was a shocker. The Hurricanes had a penalty advantage but still.

Enjoyed that, would of liked bonus point, but didn't expect us to get one.
Geez the Blackwell haters would be quiet tonight, he went bloody well. I still worry we haven't got a lot of height, when Howden came on, shouldn't really win mant lineouts at but the boys kept up alright I thought. Well drilled lineout?
Roigard-Fakatava battle was good,.

Up there with saying Foster managed the hookers well. Apart from a crucial mistake letting the Landers in, nearly fluffing a sure try and being otherwise fairly anonymous, he went bloody well.

Well guess you see what you want to see, if you saw that it kind of sums up how hard you watch the game. No worries though .
Not sure what Foster has to do with it. But anyway..... -

But anyway.....Or instead of yet again claiming how you the true rugby man is better than other posters, you could back up your baseless platitudes with something other than "he was really good haterz lolz". Might help your case better than claiming I don't know how to watch rugby when I actually stated stuff from the game and you gave a generic statement.

Wht are you talking about? I said I thought Blackwell went well and you replied something about Foster and hookers whatever that was about. You had a couple of beers? I also said you see what you want, we all do. You thought Blackwell was anonymous, I saw a lot, we obviously look at different parts of games. Didn't know you were a hater so wasn't even directed at you anyway.

Nice try, still not quite there eh. Yeah good one, I wanted to see Blackwell being anonymous apart from a badly taken try and a couple of dropsies. How did you know?
I guess you saw what you wanted to see. Really wish I could see such specific things as "a lot"

Geez the Blackwell haters would be quiet tonight, he went bloody well. I still worry we haven't got a lot of height, when Howden came on, shouldn't really win mant lineouts at but the boys kept up alright I thought. Well drilled lineout?
Roigard-Fakatava battle was good,.

Blackwell was great. He has stepped it up over the past 2 seasons. Makes many fewer mistakes now.

Basically I was surprised the lineout ball he won, and the couple of turnover penalties he won. The reason I was surprised the lineouts he won late because when Bird went I think Blackwell, Iose and Howden are all a bit small especially against PPP, Dickson and Frizzel, but they were still winning their ball, which was bloody good work by them all.

@Victor-Meldrew It was poorly managed. It was just Foster bias towards old players who are not very good. Taylor at his best is about a 5 or 6 out of ten at test level.

You're right if you are referring to Taylor, but I'm talking about Taukei'aho. Roigard, like Taukei'aho, looks a real talent and hope he's brought into the squad and given game time and opportunities to settle in.

Canes too good in the end but it was an enjoyable game to watch.
For the Clan, TUJ is going from strength to strength the longer he stays uninjured. He is a star in the making. Billy Harmon is one of my favorite players. That Clan forward pack is as good as any team in the comp. but the team lacks something...
For the Canes, as stated in the thread, Roigard is special. No contest tonight, Fakatava not in the hunt. Aumua is a beast. Canes front five have starch. Look forward to the game against the Chiefs. -

I mentioned that I thought Roigard should be included in the ABs on his current form and hoped the coaches would handle him as successfully as they did Taukei'aho and we ended up with good options at 2 - one of the few successes in the last year or so.
Some people then disagreed on the basis Cody Taylor is/was a shit hooker and Foster picked him against Ireland. I think.
