Swinton just got away with a pretty blatant red. WTF

 

[cyclopath]

That's just wrong.

 

[Dctarget]

I thought no arms was a yellow? WTF?

Also to the head??

 

[dru]

Pincus on.

 

[cyclopath]

Also to the head??

That too.

 

[Drew]

I have liked how Moroa simplified our attack and made it more direct.

Swinton just got away with a pretty blatant red. WTF

Because ‘tahs.

 

[Dctarget]

Waratahs took their chances and probably the better team, but some very odd cards (and non cards) handed out.

Korobiete what are you doing ...

 

[PhilClinton]

TMO and ref setting a dangerous precedent here.

How does that not become a card for Swinton? Literally was called a penalty at the time of the incident and we’ve seen things called back after 4-5 phases throughout the year due to TMO review.

 

[dru]

Thank Christ Hodge had sense.

Given the shoulder, that was a very unsatisfactory way to end a game with massive impact on the finals.

 

[A mutterer]

no matter how it ends up next week, pretty happy with how weve progressed given the youngsters coming through. fingers crossed for the poetic justice next week

 

[cyclopath]

Good win. Plenty of energy in that game from both teams. Tahs a bit on / off with the accuracy at times. Agree some odd cards or lack thereof, but overall a pretty good spectacle i thought.

 

[Rebels3]

Well done Tahs, won it in the first 20mins. Ref was fairly ordinary and Kearns is unbearable. Honestly think the directors at Fox think it’s cute but it’s shocking

 

[KOB1987]

Wouldn't be counting the poultry yet...

I jumped a tad early but was right.

 

[WorkingClassRugger]

We need points. And Hooper makes a break and thinks. How about a grubber! A GRUBBER!!!

 

[qwerty51]

Brumbies Reds next week is a complete dead rubber

 

[Rebel man]

How does Swinton not get a red for that? Absolute joke

 

[Drew]

Swinton’s penalty (and thankfully for Tahs fans not a sin bin/send off) was compounded by the fact that it gave the rebels the ball in the Waratahs half when we were chasing a bonus point.

I'm sure he'll get a holiday, but doesn't excuse the miss by the ref / ARs and TMO. That was a shocker.
