Hurricanes vs Blues
-
Good win for the Blues. Credit to them for repelling Canes repeatedly on their line. Sotutu and Paps put in huge shifts.
-
if the ball had been dropped wouldnt dalton have been sinbined for playing ball off feet, cynical foul on goalline
@ploughboy You're allowed to hang on in the tackle when the ball carrier is trying to reach for the line.

Not a bad shift from the young fella. He needs to start the big games with Ardie. Kirifi just isn’t big enough.

He's one hell of a unit for a young fella. Looks a bit awkward when it comes to running though. I hope as he bulks up with age and training he doesn't slow down too much or lose agility.

How in the fuck do we need video refs if we are going to have absolute howlers still go missing. Get rid of them.
Beauden Barrett should not be near an AB 10 Jersey. The older he gets, the worse he gets.
Just signed a long term contract with the ABs to "close out" his career in NZ.

By the time he is 40 playing First five for the AB's he should still be able to kick the ball 5 metres.

Poor execution on the last play from scrummage there. Not quite sure what the plan was and wondering why they didn’t go left with the numbers.
I like Aumua on the bench. He’s more effective when the game has broken down a little and good to have him at the business end. Canes have some lads in that team now.
And as for Hoskins, looks like he’s added some steak to go with the sizzle. Helluva game from him.

@Kirwan True. But while tackling Moorby, Dalton tried to pull his head off so maybe the TMO thought if he gave the try it wouldn't end up a yellow and PT.

Yep I wondered the same at the time. Thought Dalton had given away a penalty try so that is why they left it at a try.

@Kirwan while that shows clear separation, I think his arm regained 'contact' before it touched the ground, meaning it was again in 'control'
For me, the much clearer part of it was the fact it was well short, and even the post grounding roll didnt seem to make the line.

You can't regain control by forcing it on the ground.

@Kirwan if he regains 'contact' prior to the ground, then it isn't lost....we've seen examples of that previously where contact is all that is required, as opposed to control.
Either way, it shouldn't have been awarded.
