I wish all Aussie commentators a very shut the fuck up

I turned down the volume. Maloney is unbearable.

If Stevenson is out for a while I'd be moving ENS back to fullback and play Rona on the wing. DMac has to remain at 10.

Tahs lineout absolutely bereft of cohesion

No comment on the scrum due to amateurs in the front row

I found that a hard watch. Thought a lot of the ref calls and non calls were odd.
Dyer and Finau had big games. Thought Ratima was a bit below his best, although the ref allowed a lot of stuff around the breakdown.
Ioane gives me the jitters... So I hope Stevenson not out too long.

You can turn down the volume.

That handshake by Narawa was funny as.

Finau, what a player!

[Dan54]

Sure enough Christy Doran has an article about Finau's tackle, only he stuffed up, the photo he put up of it, Finau has arm wrapped and the ball is still in frame so just been passed.

[Bovidae]

To be fair neither Coleman or Gordon are whinging in the SMH article I read.

Leckie was quick to intervene on some other incidents but didn't for that tackle. I say some as ALB got hit in the head in a tackle in the 1st half but nothing came of it, and how did Tupou get his swollen eye?

[antipodean]

The SMH appears to be on a concerted mission to ensure Finau isn't permitted to tackle anyone again. Two of their sports writers whining about it. Looks to me like a deliberate ploy to put suspicion into the referees and TMOs.

Fast becoming my favourite player.

One day it'll go wrong for Finau. Hopefully it's not when he is in the Black jumper.

So far he's four or so smashings for zero penalties - to me that's a ratio I would be happy with in black

[KiwiMurph]

@Machpants he got penalised for his late hit on Lynagh

[antipodean]

Let him keep practicing his timing and accuracy in SR. The more he does it the better he'll get and the more terrified the opposition will be about taking it too close to the line.

[pakman]

I notice Finau seems to only do it once a match to 10. Imagine that may be because after that they stand three yards deeper?!
