Who’d have thought the Rebs would be a chance with 10 to go?

Didn’t play. Not sure of finals status

Fun night at the game, geez the hill was muddy. Tahs kept losing the contact in defence was the difference for me between the sides in the second half. Too many passive tackles that gave the Canes front foot ball. And obviously the scrums. Haven’t watched the replay, but that was my impression...

Thanks. Simple once explained

Ahhhh yes. Btw, that’s fact, not gloating

Question on ticketing. I have a flexi membership. Do I just bring the card to the game? Or do I have to book the tickets somehow? They are general admission.

They might go in their new jerseys? Who knows? IMO that’s a great initiative. Plant seeds, see what grows. When my daughter was in primary school (I’m in Sydney) the AFL had an Auskick program. It wasn’t compulsory, but you’d be an ordinary parent to say no when all their classmates were doing...

I’m reluctant to suggest it, as I’m not all over NZ rugby, but what about an extra team from each island? The NPC sides show the depth of talent over there mean it could work. I’m sure there’s plenty of reasons it couldn’t work, just an idea.

Someone asked about Williams and Douglas, they’re playing Shute Shield. As is Bokenham.

I’m probably behind the 8 ball here, but if you highlight the text it will give you the option to translate for you. Literally just figured it out 2 minutes ago. But as said above, a stretch.

I get they both have had off field issues. Perese was about 20, Latu isn’t. But two things, Perese did a silly tackle last year, was suspended, worked on his technique and hasn’t had any more major on field disciplinary issues since. Latu, from all reports is the same loose cannon he was when he...

Yeah, I do get that. Hopefully they’ll work it out soon as the impetus right now is on the defender. Then we throw in a player like edmed being tackled by someone much bigger than him and players take the ball low into contact to avoid turn overs. The rwc where the initial crackdown also seemed...

He was responding to me saying all head contact should be penalised. I doubt anyone would draw head contact intentionally to draw a penalty. I guess some might. I also think if the big crusaders lock had been penalised initially, he may have altered his technique on pretty much his next tackle...

Lonergan thinks he’s Ardie

Penalty try?

Radike Samo moment

If he’s scored that, legendary.

Agree to disagree. The rules agree with you.

Fair enough. I'll take your word on that being the interpretation. If that’s the way the rules as interpreted I'd like to see it changed. In my opinion if we want head contact to not been part of the game, whether it’s accidental or otherwise, every contact with the head should be penalised.

Surely, even with mitigating circumstances it should still be a penalty. The mitigating circumstances should take a card out of the equation, not the contact to the head.
