After the game.

 

[Scarfman]

Reds will be happy to give away 3 there.

Fair enough scarfie, their were few responses on the forum when I hopped on and then i realised all the qlders were probably at the game.

Caarn the reds

Reds falling apart physically. And fair enough.

 

[cyclopath]

That was a bit inevitable - sooner or later the Crusaders scrum advantage would come into it. Reds look very tired. I won't count them out though.

 

[Scarfman]

What was that scrum penalty actually for, though?

 

[Prodigy]

On that last penalty to the Crusaders, I just want to get some clarification on something. As the ball moved back through the scrum, the Crusaders blindside flanker moved back with the ball. As soon as he detaches from a full arm bind, is he not to be penalised?

 

[Tordah]

Dickinson with another crucial miss in then Reds favor

 

[minorbird]

Oh wow. Richie has lost (I think) the match for the Saders!

 

[Tordah]

Dickinson wins it for the Reds, are you kidding me

 

[Scarfman]

Oooh, not sure about that Stu.

 

[Dumbledore]

Dickinson has been absolutely shocking.

 

[Scarfman]

Well played Reds, Crusaders, fantastic game. Absolutely brilliant rugby.

 

[cyclopath]

I will go on record to say that penalty was pretty harsh - they had driven right over and he went in to pick it up to pass it. Looked wrong to me. Stu will be lucky to not get assigned any games in NZ any time soon.

YYEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

What a belter of a game, we were bloody lucky to win, after all the ball we gave away

 

[Prodigy]

Oooh, not sure about that Stu.

Maybe not the most certain call of the game, but he has played and refereed it that way the whole game. McCaw pushes the limits and must surely know that he will get penalised for some 50/50 calls (especially when he gets away with it 90% of the time). He really is the master of pushing the limits of the laws of getting away with it (to his credit).

 

[dobduff11]

the reds win it, oh Richie.

 

[Dumbledore]

Congrats Reds, fantastic game! Stu was utterly incompetent though, almost a sackable match. Hard to believe he'll be going to the WC.

:lmao: Just double-checked, he's not. My bad.

You can't penalise a non--penalisable offence.
