Super Rugby Rnd 3: Jaguares v Reds - Buenos Aires Sunday Feb 16 10:00am AEDT

[tragic]

JOC (James O'Connor) Should’ve run that back over the try line and placed it.
Lineout was always going to result in a try
Better a 5m scrum

 

[Derpus]

Rolling mauls are so fucking boring - indefensible.

They're not boring if it's your team. No different to scrums. Part of the game, get into it.

 

[dru]

Game is turning into a white wash.

 

[Derpus]

This Jock Campbell bloke is awful eh - why's he out there?

 

[Drew]

And even if a high tackle equates to cynical play, usually the ref will say “leave it 7....”. Nothing, penalty, card. Bullcrap

 

[Adam84]

take a hike SANZAAR, this is a absolutely diabolical officiating performance from this ref..

 

[tragic]

And now you can play the ball with your hands on the ground
Must be a new rule

 

[Up the Guts]

Just takes it out of the ruck and ref waves play on

 

[qwerty51]

36-3 since 25 min mark

And now you can play the ball with your hands on the ground
Must be a new rule

Only if you are the Jaguares.

The Argies are playing this beautifully, field position knowIng their ref will find them a penalty.

MOM to the ref , how is it allowed ?

 

[Dctarget]

No. Was never going to hold on replay. Cut the time waste out and build your rep with the ref.

Normally yeah but fuck giving favours to this ref. No goodwill whatsoever.

It isn’t - but nothing will happen.

The subjective nature of rugby - makes corruption part of the game.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Interesting how easy it is to be magnanimous when you're dominant and winning.
It's why the kiwis have the luxury of playing that card all the time.

[Up the Guts]

And next scrum gave the Jaguares the worst scrum penalty you’ll ever see and the rot sets in.

Ehhhh I’ve had issues with mauls for years. It’s essentially just a whole team obstruction. Who goes to watch the game for mauls? No one. At least scrums there is an element of tactics and man v man dominance. A maul is just about who can get the most players in front of the ball the quickest and walk it over the line. But yes it’s part of the game

Also rather ironic this morning as didn’t Thorn make some big fuss about the Reds special maul defence tactics in the preseason. Guess that didn’t work. .

 

[Dctarget]

Hope Brad Thorn in the presser says nothing about the Ref, just says he'll lodge an official complaint then chat about how happy he is with the boys.

 

[Bobby Sands]

When did we get a penalty last?
