NRC Final - Brisbane City v Perth Spirit - Saturday November 1

[Pfitzy]

We messed it up so bad that it also ended up filling up parts of our side too.

Yeah well you forgot to build the bloody wall!

City clearly clasped that. Hoffman has no fucking idea

He rewarded the team going forward like EVERY referee does.

The scum was a stale mate for about 10 seconds. It didn't move forward or backwards.

 

[Shiggins]

If the spirit come back and win this I will be amazed. Astonished! Haha

 

[Train Without a Station]

City began driving forward, scrum then collapsed.

It moved about a foot. If anything. No worries mate. spirit need to bring the bench on

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Not steady wtf city prop just folding under spirit have to chase their feet

 

[Shiggins]

Brisbane are playing the scrum beautifuly. Every truck in the book.

Your prop used his hand on the ground to hold himself up, then he lost his bind and went backwards resulting in the scrum going down. The penalty was right.

I'm loving the work of the Brisbane forwards. Dominant scrum, great driving maul, strong ball carries - great to see.

 

[Shiggins]

That should be a penalty. Not a scrum?

 

[Pfitzy]

Anyway, the point is: The Rams hammered both these teams and could be playing for the bloody Adamantium Toast Rack if not for that shit ref in the Rays game.

 

[Shiggins]

Actually, your prop out his hand on the ground to hold himself up, then he lost his bind and went backwards resulting in the scrum going down. The penalty was right.

He did put his hand down for one second then re binded. his side didn't move at all

 

[Bobby Sands]

Considering we have a club-rugby tight 5, its been a pretty awesome showing so far.

 

[Shiggins]

ITs kind of funny. The nrc is all about trys and the backs yet the scrum is dictating this game.

Well, no it isn't. Its all about RUGBY, of which the scrum is a pretty big point of difference over other sports.

 

[Shiggins]

Spirit are dead. No energy left.

 

[Highlander35]

It's a good thing for Australian Rugby.

 

[TSR]

He did put his hand down for one second then re binded. his side didn't move at all

That's the problem with watching with one eye - you lose perspective. His shoulders went down below his hips and backwards - that caused the collapse. In any case, once he used his hand to stabilise himself, he has scrummed illegally and deserved to be penalised.

 

[Shiggins]

The critics that think it was bad for Aussie rugby because we need better forward play were wrong that's for sure
