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?

They are usually right about us
If that is the case than you have nothing else in your life but rugby either.

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.

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

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.”

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

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

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

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

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

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.
