Tasman v Otago

Gunner

Can someone enlighten me, forearm to the face, why isn’t that man in the bin?

Surely if we’re looking after heads, it shouldn’t matter if you’ve got the ball, or you’re the tackler?

It's a fucking disgraceful decision. The same penalty as Nareki just accidentally getting in the way at the ruck and impacting nobody. What a joke.

Elbow to the face should’ve been minimum yellow.

That Tavatavanawai sub, that has to be AB enforced right? Didn’t look injured and didn’t have any physios around him while sitting on the bench. Odd

@Landers92 Odd - you'd expect if that was the case he'd be on the bench. Not subbed from the starting lineup.

Looked to me like his right arm/shoulder wasn't in great shape. Looked to be deliberately not moving it and a bit ginger.

Henry bell can fuck right off.

Bones

50/22.... except it's a penalty

Bones

Ta$man "big" names are probably their worst players so far. That was yuck by Havili with an unmarked Taumoefolau. Or as Marshall would say, Taumoefow

My screen died for a couple of minutes. What happened to Saula Ma'au?

Grooter

Two kaik boys Bell & Pledger combining nicely

Bones

That is some pickup by Pledger, superb pace too.

Bones

Oudenryan reminds me of a young Coles, just a bit bigger. Has that same shaky hair running style as Lee too.

Poor tackling by Otago, LF didn't have to work too hard for that.

Chris B.

I hope the Crusaders are talking clearly to Oudenyn. Don't want him going elsewhere.

Bones

Something wrong with my satellite feed. Te Hiwi was in slow motion and everyone else was normal.

Grooter

@Chris-B yeah they will have a spot open in 2028 when Taylor departs

Didn't need pace to fend off Davey

Bones

So...ahhh... this guy Haig that's the next superstar AB captain and almost as good as Higgins....is he playing?

Still sure?

@frugby credit where credit is due. He's scored a try and setup another

Grooter

@Bones every team needs itself a Reuben Thorne
