What a bloody boring game!

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Injury wise we sure are getting f**ked up for a game that doesnt matter.

Ma'afood having a rest

What a bloody boring game!

Wait until you see the final, you'll be positively rocking your socks off. Can every AB score a try in the one game? My eye balls will be propped open with matchsticks for that one. (seriously though looking forward to it).

have another look - it came backwards out of his hand and that is all that matters

Yeah, it doesn't matter if it drifts forward after that.

That was certainly not backwards out of his hands. There might be a case to be made for it going "flat" out of his hands. But when a borderline flat/forward pass drifts 2m towards the opposition goal line, and considering O'Connor was pretty much stationary when he threw it. A forward pass call is certainly justified.

I watch the replays closely, OK.

Pocock has grown in stature as the game has gone on.

Nice kick Berrick.

+ even better 'drop bomb goal'

if its flat it aint forward and thats all she wrote.
Norman Einstein explained what you are witnessing.

 

[minorbird]

Another nice kick Berrick!

 

[Jay]

How close was that?

 

[Bruwheresmycar]

Awesome DG. Just what we need.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Great hit McCalman!

 

[maxdacat]

How is that a welsh penalty?

Who is she? My post wasn't directed at anyone, i was just annoyed at the commentators.

5 minutes ago you were saying it was backwards. Now you say it's flat? Why do I bother...

(btw, I said there may be a case for it being a flat pass, but I think it was forward. Also, you can't blame the ref for calling a "flat" pass that drifts 2m towards the opposition goal line for mistaking it for a forward pass anyway.)

Shane Willaims was pinged for the same thing in the first half. Held in the tackle and not releasing the ball before continuing on.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) bombs a try.

Note: Just before the break McCalman did another big hit to dislodge the ball, I think he's done that now 2-3 times this game. Not a bad effort Benny.

 

[teach]

2 dads!

 

[maxdacat]

What themfuck!

So AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) learnt to pass, set up a try... and then drops it over the line.
