re-enforcing my observation that centers have the worst passing skills on the field in the modern game.

Surprised crusaders running so much early from their own half.
Great matchups across the park, and awesome to be under the roof

Too much bosh coaching. Ironic that Basta went the opposite through his career.Insane_Homer wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 7:08 am re-enforcing my observation that centers have the worst passing skills on the field in the modern game.

that should have been a pen for player infront of the knock-on playing the ball.

Good call - all for giving the early penalty for being over the ball - but only on the proviso they make sure they guy going for the ball is actually legal

Real problems for Landers if the scrum continues that way.

Crusaders attack looks like all blacks vs Argentina games - there is definitely space outside but cant get it there.
Highlanders scrum manshamed and then saders fluff the lineout

Try time saders -
Think they were lucky they kept going under advantage, looked to be holding on a couple of rucks earlier

I was thinking the last few weeks, teams were knocking the rust off a little bit - this seems more full on.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

Couple weird calls but otherwise an awesome 40min from both teams
2 blatant forward passes missed. It balanced though.Monkey Magic wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 7:54 am Couple weird calls but otherwise an awesome 40min from both teams

Agree the two forward passes and two potential turnovers balance it out.Ymx wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 7:58 am2 blatant forward passes missed. It balanced though.Monkey Magic wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 7:54 am Couple weird calls but otherwise an awesome 40min from both teams
