PB, you a fully-fledged Bulls man now?
No way they are my enemie nr 1! Only joking, lets call them my biggest SA provincial rival, like your NSW vs Queensland.

That dont mean I hate them , only means I do respect them a lot. :thumb

If I was one for conspiracy theories, I'd also wonder if the reason why Matfield passed up 24 kicking points for Steyne was that he somehow knew he'd be getting plenty more opportunities, and that finding their way into the Tahs half wouldn't be a problem. But I'm not.

There is the fact that there was absolutely no pressure on their lineout as the Tahs decided not to contest - that is an open invitation to kick for the line at will. Secure lineout ball led to well set up mauls which led to more penalties or tries.

Without wishing to breach the forum etiquette on ref trashing and dropping things into the wrong thread, can anyone explain to me how Jonker rationalised the Bulls rolling maul, where on a number of occasions the guy at the back (carrying the ball) was seen to move the ball from one arm to the other.

Unless I'm missing something (quite possible) is it not physically impossible to do this without disengaging from the maul.

While they are discussing that can someone explain why the refs let the guy at the back lift his head up to look at the defence or have his whole body disengaged with just his forearm resting on the blokes in front while the maul moves forward?

Easily confused.

Tahs fans getting precious over losing a match they were outplayed in? ;) :fishing

I watched the game and didn't think Jonker was particularly good for either side. Take your frustration out on Hickey, as if Jonker really did have a shocker only against the Tahs I think the scoreline could've been a lot worse.

Think you lot still living with the ELVs?

Pretty easy to combat, drive them back meaning less fatties in the backline.

Conspiracy theories from an Australian.

Or is that victim mentality?

I tend to the confuse the two.

Really guys, get over this SA refs are against us thing.

Did the Reds not do the same against the crusaders?? The first time the Crusaders got away with it because the Reds kept on holding back so there was in fact no obstruction. The second time someone bothered to touch the front of the maul and a penalty was given.
