This game has the makings of a god un (well I think all 3 have). I not convinced on how well the Crusaders are playing, they look a bit clunky to me, and definitely need Havili in their midfield.

Yep it is pretty simple really. I will add as Canes man, in the Brumbies/Crusaders game on weekend I was hoping for a Brumbies win, as I think we have the game to beat Crusaders more than the Brumbies.

You obviously didn't read my next post where I said after looking a few more times ,I thought it could well of been, and ball landed on point then went back. Is the answer to allow the TMO come in whenever he sees something that is missed? Similar to what they do in NH, and what we had for a...

They are by a central refs panel.

Super rugby administrators can't or shouldn't ever be allowed to drop or otherwise refs, hell even National unions can't do it. They are appointed by the ref assoc.

Actually just took a peek again, and suspect you could be right the ball probably landed on point of ball, and then went back.

Well, ready for Canes vs MP (Moana Pasifika). If you lived in Wellington area, I guess you would be a bit pissed Regional Council, cancelling all trains for weekend, There are usually a lot of people that use the trains for going to game (perhaps why they built caketin at the station!

I not sure on the whole Nela thing. He doesn't look to be scrumming that well. I would suggest Lions front row would be watching with a smile, although I would add ,don't know how good or bad the locks behind him are. From this side of the ditch it seems Tahs supporters should or could have...

That's what got me beat WOB, why I would be quite happy with call going other way.

Anyone else get annoyed when refs let hookers stand inside the touchline when they throw the ball in? Riccitelli does it all the time, and steps to side (which a lot do) so he can throw the ball straight down his own lineout. I have noticed him standing inside the field of play a lot including...

Geez I just watched it, on the link you supplied,I not convinced either way. Reece definitely touches it inside the 22, and the ball rolls back over the 22 doesn't it? Mind you I also happy if the ref calls it lost control, as he seemed to touch behind ball,, but it certainly doesn't roll forward.

I thought he looked suspiciously like he was out too.

Geez Derps, I thinking the Blues are a bloody hard watch too, not a great watch this game is it?

Ok mate so the other forums where some are claiming it a knock back are wrong? ;) I didn't take much notice of them either, easier to watch myself if it worries me. I take it Crusaders scored directly from the knock on? Just for Morgs and his rant about 2nd week of semis, when my Canes beat...

On how refs have diiffering ways of controlling games, whether it rucks, or whatever, if it really hurts some people so much,. I would quietly suggest that a game as complicated as rugby is perhaps not the game you should follow?

Mate haven't looked at it a lot yet, but what was Matt Burke talking about. He said just the fact the ball went from his grasp even backwards it's a knock on. See with commentators being that knowledge of laws of game, no wonder we have moans from the casual viewer. We got idiots like him and...

Were never going to name a new skipper anyway WOB, with how teams run now, I not sure it's that much of a biggie anyway. The captain doen't realy set the team pattern or anything, or even decide on kicks at goal or anything, the are all done by leadership groups etc. Just out of interest...

I must admit I went to bed with about 20 mins to go (I been having a few medical troubles last few weeks,so not too flash) it was 11pm here. I got up this morning , not too concerned who won, as both teams get home game next week, and my Canes had already beaten Brumbies at home this year, so I...

Wasn't a lot of arms involved, but nothing in it.

I was watching the game on tv when it happened. I didn't think it was right, but must admit wasn't absolutely sure. I will say I have watched rugby since the 1960s, and genuinely haven't seen that tried before. Although the ref probably should of known, as the to ARs, but geninely they are...
