TL;DR - don't pass to a opposing player who can knock it on. A knock on is much like a civil infraction and not a criminal one. Someone shouldn't be imprisoned for a civil offense.

My problem is that Foley was genuinely attempting an intercept, as are many other players that are carded. Once the ball has left the passing players hands the opposing team should have a right to play at it if they can. We are essentially protecting an inflight ball from one team and that...

Gave up on my fantasy a while back but jesus you'd hope you had Hooper in your team this week. About 1000000 metres run and 25 linebreaks to boot.

Pretty exciting game but if the Tahs lose this I'll cry.

Horwitz doing a pretty good job of steering the team around the field in Foley's absence. Couple of lovely deft passes.

This intentional knock on stuff is getting ridiculous.

Jeez Skeltons been industrious. He's had a great season. Shame he's going overseas.

Alphabet with a run that makes you wonder why he isn't used more. Lovely pop to Izzy and its 4 tries to 1. 24 - 11 at half time.

Some dodgy reffing around the ruck by Gardener. Waratahs need to remember to go forward first.

Hooper likewise having a great captains knock. Two turnovers already.

Foley looking the goods.

Tahs doing the simple stuff a lot better with two quick tries to Hanigan and Mumm in both corners.

Bit of a ridiculous call in my opinion. Mafi secures his first Super Rugby try with a quick tap from 5m out. Two things to comment on after this: + Volavola can't kick for shit. + How the fuck is that Mafi's first try? If he signed with the Hurricanes he'd be on about 10 by now. Amazing...

Hooper has also said "I'll speak to them" but he doesn't appear to be saying much when he walks back to the team.

Hansen could be in trouble here but what the fuck is Dean Mumm doing (if that isn't considered a maul)? At the same time, "be careful where you put your feet" to Hansen is a bit ridiculous given its foul play. It doesn't matter what provokes it - if someone isn't releasing the ball you can't...

Good to hear Hodge is ok bar a concussion and a cut on the head - that looked quite bad in real time. Maddocks has done nothing but impress me this season - a real classy footballer who reads the game well. Great first try by the Waratahs but discipline is letting them down. As I type this...

I literally only get enjoyment out of Australian derbys these days. Occasionally a NZ vs Aus game if its reasonably contested but once a NZ team breaks their opponent and punches in the coordinates for hyperspace its just smug Polynesian-basketball, jailbreak rugby which breaks my heart and...

A national comp isn't financially viable with the players we currently have, Clyne is 100% correct in that regard. The player salaries would have to be drastically reduced from $300k + per year for our top players to about 50-100k, but I'm not so sure if that'll ruin the product. Lower...

Perhaps, but you miss every shot you don't take.

Looks its ambitious but most of my professional success has come from my own willingness to approach people with sincerity and honesty and ask them for their expertise / assistance when mine could only get me so far. People find it somewhat endearing but I doubt Pulver et. al could swallow...
