This is amatuer hour. They had a replay with the exact correct angle, and stopped it before he threw the punch.

How they expect people to watch with this TMO garbage? These guys need a kick up the arse to get a move on. The on field ref takes like 30 seconds just to talk to his line ref, then he bloody explains everything to the TMO. What the fuck needs explaining!? What the hell else are we determining...

Akira would have been staring menacingly into some bloke's eyes that he's latched onto on the other side of the field. Once he sorts his shit out, he could easily be an All Black.

Talk about a soft penalty to decide this game as well. So soft.

Highlanders have been failing to do extremely basic things well. The moment they do, they get complete control. Lima Sopoaga has been in awful form since his first game in Africa. Aaron Smith makes a HUGE difference at the back of the ruck. This is the difference between the Highlanders and...

Good job tv producers. Don't show the slow motion replay of the forward pass you ALWAYS show for the away team. That's about the 3rd "flat pass" the Reds have produced, quite the signature. Literally 2 in that passage of play.

Is the Reds scrum always like this? Or is ours just piss weak?

Hmm, take 5 of your best players out of the lineup, lose another through injury. Not too bloody surprising they're a little grim. I mean the All Blacks can get stuffed, it they can't beat France at home they can get expelled themselves.

Oof, that scrum deserved some reward. That's a BAD miss.

Commentators suggesting that us Highlanders fans not coming out has to do with our success rate against the Reds.. not the frankly abysmal ticketing options.

Player placing the ball on the line "was not on his feet", well no shit. Since when does a try scorer have to be on their feet? I can understand not giving it "for not immediately placing it", as per actual laws, or that he basically rolled it onto the line. His reasoning suggests he has no...

Bah! Look at that shitty crowd! I live right across the river from Suncorp Stadium and am rather a Highlanders fan, 10 min walk. I had a look at getting a couple of tickets for this game. $126 for two tickets in the end sections of the main grandstand. Couldn't buy more than 1 closer in than...

You do realise what streak the media (at least in NZ) will be talking about now right?

I reckon it's more that the Highlanders just toured South Africa two weeks ago, had no break before playing the Lions in NZ then travelled to Australia right after. They were ripe for the picking, no way they were going to cover this game with 14 men. I reckon it would have been 50/50 with 15...

Beale falls over like Shaq.

Err.. you haven't been allowed to stamp down on a players leg in quite a while. Edit: He doesn't know how to celebrate a try. Threw the ball into his own head, lol.

Nick Phipps, stamps on a player, scores a try 30 seconds later. Industrious.

Don't see how that try shouldn't have been disallowed as well.

It's like the ability to catch and pass like 6 times in a row works.

There are some nights where everything Lima Sopoaga touches turns to shit, this would be one of those.
