TT R5 Hurricanes v Reds Friday 5:05PM

[dru]

Some interesting rulings from the official this match.

I’m still adamant that kiwi teams are allowed to get away with murder at the ruck, Hurricanes this match have consistently got away with not releasing the tackled player, not staying on feet when competing for the ball and coming from the side. Ardie Savea must have taken ownership of Richie McCaws cloak of invisibility

Could not agree more. Makes the viewing experience very unpleasant.

Makes you wonder what the agenda is

 

[Derpus]

What?? You can reach out in one movement IF THE BALL hasn't touched the ground!!

Genuinely didn't know that. So if the ball hits the ground in the tackle you cant then place it back either, right?

 

[dru]

Tate is playing very well. Wilson too. Henry and Flook look up to the class as well.

I not sure, don't think so, but you cannot promote the ball when it touched ground. One of these confusing ones, if you arm under it you can reach forward.

Sounds like nonsense to me. Players promote the ball after it hits the ground in every second tackle. Or does 'promote' mean push it forward?

 

[kiap]

What was the go with that 'advantage over'?

I don't get it.

 

[kiap]

Knock back?

 

[Derpus]

Hegarty's kicking is such a liability

 

[Rebels3]

When tackled you are allowed 1 movement to promote the ball in any direction. 99% it’s back. The Tupou no try was the correct call as Tupou propelled himself along with his one movement allowed. He picks his weight up and then promotes it.

Is this a new global requirement or just limited to games in New Zealand. Just had a look at the Laws on World Rugby website and it doesn't mention anything about ÏF THE BALL hasn't touched the ground. Is it captured in another Law?

 

[Wilson]

No one is offside there?????

 

[dru]

What the fuck was wrong was that. Kiwi grubs.

 

[Wilson]

Even the commentary are fuming

 

[Mick The Munch]

That’s saying something of the kiwi commentary is saying that madness

 

[kiap]

Jesus

 

[Derpus]

Hometown reffing at its finest eh.

Taking the ball backwards is not promoting, I was told.

 

[dru]

Ref only found one advantage in that period on the line?

 

[Dctarget]

So offside by the hurricanes on the try line but no yellow card
