Yeah, nah.

Got that 2002 vibe about it...

3 times in fact (well, he took 3 in a row, not sure was completely lifted in all 3, but definitely 2).

BOK really quick on this, which I don't mind. If he'd been reffing the Leinster / La Rochelle game he'd have been unconscious with the number of times he would have needed to whistle it!

Noticed that - lifted 3 times in a row at the front to set up mauls. Now that I will credit!

I get all that but I wonder how much it would work being reffed faster. A lot of walking and dawdling around set-pieces by many players. At the pace of some of the Super Rugby games, some of those guys would be on oxygen!

Watching it now, gotta say I get the feeling Skelton is somewhat over-hyped. Not bad but not what I had expected to see. The pace of the game is pretty slow with regard to the set-pieces setting way slower than in Super, they take for ever. Peyper is as fucking useless as ever.

Not likely to win either, but maybe a better chance against the Brumbies in Canberra. Just...

Hard to say much, didn't get much of a stint.

That's a good Tahs win. Massive defensive shift from everyone, and took opportunities pretty well. Got it done, and with a BP.

Um, no arm tackle, maybe? Certainly no attempt to actually use arms properly.

More unlucky than stupid - good lineout contest, bad bounce.

Jorgensen is a talent. Just a great rugby brain. Nawaqanitawase knows where the line is.

BOK heard me - he called one flying off feet. Pity it was a Tahs player!

Ha ha, the Fijian winger has killed himself on the lightest guy on the field!

Annoying when the ref decides they'll call one type of infringement only. Tahs getting pinged (and fair enough, no issue) but many other infringements are just waved on - cleaning players flying off feet repeatedly, for example, as well as some pretty loose "arms" being used in tackles.

You'd think a ref going to the RWC would know that law better. Penalty against Reds there just wrong.

Personal experience?

In case anyone needed reminding about why we shut down the politics thread...

Not a patch on the OG.
