NZ North vs South Game Thread

[Ted.]

Not sure i agree with that decision, looked a good try to me

3 unbound and joined from the front.

[Carter's Choice]

BB makes a half break and then gives the ball back to the SI.

Why do you keep saying that when the referee clearly ruled differently?

[Carter's Choice]

Shit, there goes Mo'unga. That's shit luck.

[Fat Old Git]

You sound like many of the foreign fans commenting on NZ after a loss to the ABs.

They are usually right about us

If that is the case than you have nothing else in your life but rugby either.

[Ted.]

Moody dropped it again. FFS.

That type of situation happens all the time and is always given.

I’d suggest the players at the front fell away. Still the same maul. Quite often players leave the front and side of the main il and rejoin at the back.

[Ted.]

Good try.

[Fat Old Git]

Yes!!!. (Waits nervously for TMO to find some slightly alternate reality...)

[Insane_Homer]

South can thank the North prop for giving away the scrum pen on the half way line in a scrum for that 7 pointer.

[Enzedder]

Thats why Reece shouldnt be an AB

[Ted.]

Is McKenzie a busted flush?

The irony is that it is often passion about a loss that leads to those type of comments. It’s the caring that leads to the comment “yeah, but we don’t really care, it isn’t all that matters to us.”

[Carter's Choice]

Thats why Reece shouldnt be an AB

Why, because he couldn't stop man-mountain JB from 1 metre out?

[FujiKiwi]

Some of the plays in this game are absolutely spectacular. Goodhue there.

[Sandstorm]

Neither #9 is getting any protection from the ref at rucktime.

[Enzedder]

Is McKenzie a busted flush?

Made a good break there

[Ted.]

Dunshee and Moody have tackled more players off the ball than with it. I hate that shit.

[Ted.]

No try.

[ASMO]

No try.

This time we agree

[Carter's Choice]

OMG the TMO thought BB was back the ten metres and the referee overrode him. That's hilarious.

[Ted.]

You should thank me.

[Jb1981]

I was getting more and more concerned the longer that exchange went on. At least the team on the field reached the right decision.

These officials could be South African.

[Auckman]

Reiko looking good and hungry

[Fat Old Git]

Whew. I thought it was clearly no try but TMO decisions seem to be a coin toss a lot of the time these days.

[Carter's Choice]

Why is the stupid young Chiefs lock clapping like a trained seal every time the NI get a decision? Is he trying to look like an idiot?

[Ted.]

Dead set penalty against Moody. He's been on toast all night.

[Enzedder]

Nope. Because he waited on the line for the man-mountain to come to him

We are not alike

He's been otherwise anonymous all night.

More off the ball shit from the south

This. Ref is on the wrong side of every scrum.

TJP hit Taylor high off the ball yet his team gets the penalty. I'm guessing that this is a NI based refereeing team?

I am thankful for this.

That "brawl" turned into a dance of the teddy bears

Thankful at being wrong? Strange.

[Gumboot]

Good first half. Looked to me like Laulala was offside just before Taylor's non-try. He momentarily detached but never got back behind the ball carrier.

Moody's getting monstered by Ofa in the scrum. How many times has he had his elbow or knee on the ground?

Vaa'i's been far from anonymous - he's doing a ton of work on defence.

Nah, you're dreaming mate. Taylor hit TJP off the ball.

The south are bringing all the Crusaders dirty tricks to the game, which is a crying shame because it's been a pretty good game otherwise.

[Auckman]

Won't affect ABs selections but Mo'unga was in B. Barrett's shadow tonight.
