Highlanders vs Stormers

[Gunner]

Fuck off Jackson, that’s momentum!

Anyway regardless, I see players crawling after being tackled numerous times during a game

[Bovidae]

Jackson was going all hometown to start the game but he had a makeup call with BFA's non-try.

@gunner

I don’t mind the call if it’s consistent, but we’be Already seen examples of that much crawling in this game.

I'm tempted to start www.crawlwatch.co.nz. Farking hate it - once a knee hits, you're tackled son. Don't get up and go again, and ffs don't crawl.

Not momentum but he was never held in a tackle. Rubbish call from Jackson, who I suspect was trying to make up for the turnover call at the other end when Bender had his hands on the ground.

[pukunui]

Highlanders robbed of a try there. Or 3 at the very least. No way he was held. Then the Stormers player dived on Smith as he was on the ground, which minutes earlier had been a penalty the other way. So if it is no try for crawling surley it is a penalty for diving on the player on the ground.

Once a knee hits while you are grasped by the tackler it is a tackle.

[Chris B.]

That's never a try.

Fundamental rule that you've got to play the game on your feet.

Don't suppose you'd mind telling a few refs this?

In that case, penalty against Kolisi for tacking BFA on the ground. Therefore penalty try and yellow card. 😉

Which was the first offence?

[Gunner]

Oh how the fuck did he not score that

[Gunner]

Surely Highlanders ball for knocked back?
Where is the consistency?
One of those rules that change depending where you are on the field?

[Gunner]

Good try,

That was an eye catching run from Thompson at the start of that movement.

[Gunner]

A Smith surely won’t be allowed in the All Blacks with that haircut.

SURELY!

[hydro11]

Highlanders kicking game has been very poor tonight. Stormers have outplayed them completely in that area. Just the Stormers have defended so poorly. They could ship 50 at any time.

[nzzp]

Just turned on for the second half.

A Smith's passing is just off the charts. So good. Finds runners, he's hitting people two channels out consistently. It just gives them so much space and stretches the defence. What a player

[Gunner]

This is the kind of game that fresh legs could cause havoc, it’s been played at a hell of a pace, and physical so there’ll be tired bodies out there.

[Gunner]

Oh Naholo....
I dear say they would have come back to check the pass anyway if he’d scored.
Looked forward to me.

@gunner

Backwards from the hands. Fuck Naholo is frustrating.
