Keep it for grounding and serious foul play and we've got a game.

Probably better they didn't spend five minutes looking at a decision right? Surely. That's kind of the thing. We spend five minutes minutely dissecting a small facet of play, and then wave through everything else. Pick one. Be NFL or just let the ref do it and let the game play.

Some other obs: Noah looked much better than OConnor Swain loves a cynical infringement Samu wasn't very effective, doesn't really play like an 8. Petaia should put his Tuqiri step away and just hit the line. Wright is looking deadly at the moment

I sort of enjoyed that as a neutral. It was great in the moments between a series of tired penalties. And despite blowing his arse off he misses the match defining infringement. Maybe he ran out of gas? I thought the Reds backrow kept them in that almost alone. Uru, McReight and Wilson were...

Surely not a penalty try? But a definite yellow.

Is that an actual rule though? Otherwise, nah. They know they can't keep infringing.

Why do you have to give a warning? Everyone knows repeated infringements in your own 22 is a yellow. Edit: except the Kiwis, to which the rule does not apply.

Some of the interplay between McReight and Wilson in the lead up to that try was sublime.

Arg Murphy is a game killer

He does that a bit. Looots of penalties at the moment.

Why did Murphy call back the advantage when Banks took it to ground a few metres from the Reds line? Didn't seem like it was pilfered.

Murphy is a bit of a tough watch

Haha Murphy

Is Uru capped for Fiji?

Not a single one of Fainga'anuku, Daugunu or Pulu are playing this weekend. Outrageous. I can barely field a team.

Man you'd take Addo-Carr on 400k over Vunivalu on 600-900k every day of the week. Are league wingers so reticent to switch that you have to give them a %50 salary hike just to entice them over?

Makes sense.

Yeah I know the rule. It's not enforced though. The French left a large portion of their squad behind last year for the finals. See also Kerevi, Quade, every pacifika player in Europe etc.

Dont the NH clubs withhold their test players? Or is that only for July?

I knew it. They've been listening to me this whole time. No wonder...
