Blues vs Reds, Sat 14 May, 2022. Eden Park.

[Shiggins]

Blues winger miles offside and takes the ball out of the ruck. Blues doing what they want at ruck time and getting away with it.

That's a big screw up from the ref - taken in the air should 100% overall an existing offside advantage. Really poor form when there is supposed to be a player safety focus

 

[dillyboy]

fair blow-up by Tate there!

Even under penalty advantage I don't think you can put up a kick & take the receiver out in the air. Penalty Reds at the very least.

Bloody fair enough too. That was a shocker. Changed his line and put the shoulder in

 

[Jeffrey]

Perofeta is an improving player with good natural ability. But he is really ill-disciplined and cognitively sub-par - does a lot of stupid shit.

that's what I meant - he had every right to blow up there!

in any other game that would be advantage overturned and a yellow

 

[LearningCurve]

Vuni might be good on attack but his defensive positioning is poor - keeps coming in and leaving the opposition winger unmarked.

If not more than a yellow, considering how Tate fell and that the Blues' player had eyes for Tate and seemed to change his line into him

 

[Wilson]

O'Connor does make a huge difference to our ability to attack the line

 

[Jeffrey]

The Blues' defence is still not good.
Against an onslaught, they are consistently too upright, and they are just not urgent enough off the line to meet the attack.
They seem to be far more enthusiastic to attack while the opposite on defence.

 

[Shiggins]

The kiwi refs this weekend have been shocking and the Aussie sides have copped it.

The kiwi teams are absolutely on fire and in fine form. All black stocks look in good hands !

 

[Wilson]

Oh, so it's ok to overrule now, good to know

Refs need to join the Reds front row in clubland

6 week ban reduced to 5 if he does a basic refereeing course?

 

[todd4]

That was a nice try!

As a Waratahs fan, I have been consistently impressed with Jock Campbell over the last E years. So great in non obvious ways.

 

[Shiggins]

Some of the penalties the blues give away when they are under pressure. They should have had a yellow in the first half. It's an odd area of the game. A few weeks ago on the force game the opposition were penalised 4 times in a row and got a yellow. Blues give away almost 9 in a row and nothing happens.
