Latino-oriented version of ESPN that they have over here

Ah shit Messam in and marshal blows his load. I wish he would shut the fuck up.

Heres a thought-turn the effin sound off

Nice try All Blacks. Hore was penalised and warned at the other end for doing exactly what Louw did scragging Smith at the ruck there.

No one was on their feet. Ball was out

But Shiggins has the right to torture himself with the Kiwi commentary and let us know!

Great half of Rugby. ABs and Boks showing how the 1,2 teams play the game. Take note Wallabies.

 

[Muttonbird]

Er, no. Louw reached over the ruck and disrupted Smith.

 

[RoffsChoice]

Can't see the All Blacks being held tryless in the 2nd half.

 

[Bullrush]

Too busy watching the game to post......great game. AllBlacks are immense at the moment.

 

[Shiggins]

Er, no. Louw reached over the ruck and disrupted Smith.

Err no. There was no ruck because no one was I their feet.

That was just the Beast living up to his name & McCaw doing what most Flankers do - be a pest.

I love how McCaw manages to be a pest sitting on his ass on the side of his own teams ruck. What a player!!

Great half, shame about Habana. What a legend.

Actually, once a ruck has formed, like one had in that situation, it technically doesn't stop being a ruck until the ball comes out. I'm pretty sure thats the Law anyway.

 

[TooEasyWobbles]

If the big South Africans cant beat the ABs in the first, they won't do it in the second.

 

[Shiggins]

There is a kiwi whinging about the reg on social media. Meat head

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Read has had a big impact on the game so far.

I thought if no one was on there feet they can't be apart of the ruck. There for the ball is out.

 

[Bullrush]

Messam is really standing up BTW

 

[Shiggins]

The all backs back row is immense. Always.
