Man, whoever keeps giving Tahs Nic ‘Queenslander’ Berry needs to be charged with being an accessory after the fact with the murder of Australian rugby. In our current parlours state we need all the 50/50s. Binding on sleeve is straight penalty.

Here's the real crux of this year's mess. NSW is responsible for majority of community rugby players in Australia. The fact we don't have a player budget so we can get kids on the park is frustrating while the leaches crow about their success using our supporters money to pay our juniors...

18.29c Lift or support a team-mate. Players who do so must lower that player to the ground safely as soon as the ball is won by either team. Sanction: Free-kick. Either he was played in air or ABs held on too long. Edit: meant to add is same rule as newer one for open play lifters post Folau...

This was my concern with Lolesio. Harrison has a lot more experience playing behind a pack that struggled for parity. Right before the injury vs tahs I remember thinking he has been found out. That said he wasn't terrible the defenceman issues seemed to be the system and I'd place more blame on...

Disagree. Either that arm was in motion to tackle and was high impact (see mess made of his face) or he wasn’t using his arm and it was a shoulder charge with same outcome. Referees making up nonsense on field about him falling (started low continued at same height) was embarrassing. Hopefully...

And binding on shorts which illegal. Also changing bind to get on shorts. Worst scrum refereeing of the year.

I have seen a few comments about Caleb Clarke not being held. There’s a good image via the below. https://www.reddit.com/r/rugbyunion/comments/jdby06/nz_v_aus_16_october_is_this_a_tackle_and_if_so/ Law 14 1. For a tackle to occur, the ball-carrier is held and brought to ground by one or...

Cooper has probably been the best ref this season. And the issue seemed to be Miller was fractionally behind 20 when the ball was transferred with long arms. You need to rip directly off the catcher while bound/ in close quarters . He also was close to sliding back too before he transferred to FF (Folau Fainga'a).

Disenfranchise 50% of the current fan base and grow the game in ACT? Glad you aren’t anywhere near the tiller. Anyway go Tahs!

Correctly called. Officials having a good game for mine.

I thought Berry was very generous to the Force scrum with Longbottom angling in, but much more obviously changing his bind (not allowed) often on to the arm (also not ok even if got on there first time) directly in front of the ref. Sadly the break did nothing for any of the refs form.

Or twice? 1991 and 1995. But been a while as the Wallabies and the French failed to go all the way after ambushing NZ in 1999, 2003 and 2007 and they have translated their usual dominance to knock out rugby since then.

This was crazy. Given the level of interjections from TMO offering the ref to check the number on Wales for the YC by way of a reminder would have been appropriate. The rule is black and white and requires no real time judgement so all 4 officials could be stood down, ref and TMO at a minimum.

Actually they tell you move from the tackle line on to the A line as the tackle/ruck/maul contest resolves specifically for this reason so you can control offside at the moment ball clears. Poite was out of position (which happens). Interesting seeing Gardner in other games even dropping into...

Finding comments that that was legal bit strange. 9. 20. Dangerous play in a ruck or maul. a. A player must not charge into a ruck or maul.Charging includes any contact made without binding onto another player in the ruck or maul. Soft, yes. Legal, no. Binding at a ruck is usually adjudicated...

Assumes it was a fist versus open hand. Argies rolled around like they were shot at slightest touch.

Surely we should be considering his form in gold rather than rare appearances for Te Puke Sports & Recreation Club.

Some questionning if we drop certain players as to who we replace them with. After tonight's performance a number of players need to be dropped just to create competition. If I had to make the calls they would be: Horwill for Carter (out of 23 - Simmons retained only for combination) AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) to...

Sorry was borderline troll but was in reference to yellow cards for which a 67% increase was quoted in papers. Certainly the perception of YC imunity is gone which is good thing. Sad thing is All Blacks didn't need the help they were perceived to be receiving as shown by continuation of...
