Blues vs Force Rd 12. Fri May 2, 2025

I hate that scrums can just be reset forever until a penalty is found. Just fucking play the fucking god damn game.

Wasn't there a directive to help limit resets at the start of this season?

I think mostly just the fact that you can't call a scrum from free kicks anymore

 

[Mr Pilfer]

Thank god for potter and Tizzano, both should be wallabies

Hmm okay - I thought there was something around playing from a collapsed scrum if the ball was available, but could very well be mistaken

There might be a bit, but it's hard for them to be too prescriptive there with the player safety element.

Pretty sure O'keefe isn't capable of human speech.

Pretty sure O'keefe isn't capable of human speech.

You’re assuming he can even read…

watching the blues players just loitering offside and O’Keefe just ok with it.

 

[Aussie D]

Surely that try will stand

 

[Derpus]

Well done Force. Should've been doing this from the start. Keep it tight and they can beat the Blues.

 

[Derpus]

Just realised Oqueefe is reffing the first Lions... guess we'll be targetting a win in the second then.

Can I introduce you to the game 2 ref, Andrea Piardi:

World Rugby accused of 'rewarding failure' with Andrea Piardi's Lions Test appointment

World Rugby’s confirmation that Andrea Piardi has been appointed as second Test referee on the British and Irish Lions tour has generated plenty of heat.

What the fuck is O'Keefe doing? The Blues player came around the side and tackled the last player in the maul.

 

[Pokinacha]

Peak O’queefe just there. Blue second rower clearly swimming down the side then looks at Bin and deliberately collapses the ball carrier… no whistle. Nada. Classic

 

[Aussie D]

Just watching the halftime highlights both Blues tries should not have been awarded due to obstruction. TMO must be blind

 

[Derpus]

If the Force hold onto the ball in the second half they are definitely in this.

 

[Dan54]

By geez this back 3 of Blues are a joke.They are not covering back field at all, and because they in front, cannot or will not chase kicks. That is criminal. I have said Perofeta when in the Naki team isn't the best at 10 or 15, and he surely trying to prove my point.

 

[Dctarget]

Potter keeps proving me wrong, the lad is like if Kellaway were two inches taller and 10kg heavier. Love it.

 

[Derpus]

Nevermind. Pathetic start.

 

[Derpus]

It's like the Force do 99% of all the shit they need to do to be a competent rugby football team and then just disappear from the field for about 5 mintues every single game and concede 3-4 easy tries.

 

[Aussie D]

Tackle round the legs boys. Initial break and KBs effort were woeful
