Highlanders vs. Hurricanes

[Damo]

I can see a punch by Julian Savea. No try and PK to blue for retaliation.

[Machpants]

Nope they don't see the connect

[gt12]

Look at how many cards there are in that footage. Savea, Riccitelli, and Squire.

[taniwharugby]

nothing really in Squires contact, RR comes in shoulder charge only (also nothing) then Surveyor

[dingo]

This is bullshit. There was nothing except suspicion that Savea did something and the try is rule out???

[Stargazer]

Squire off with a yellow. No footage of a possible punch from the bus.

[Stockcar86]

I'm hoping a photographer got a shot of the Savea punch and he gets a few weeks off for that shit

[Machpants]

Savea lucky they cut away!

[No Quarter]

So far we have Squire with a dangerous cleanout, shoulder to the head. A late cheap shot on Savea after the pass. And then a forearm to the back of Saveas head. He's a bit of a fucking thug isn't he?

Looks like Savea stupidly took the law into his own hands and was lucky the cameras didn't pick it up.

[antipodean]

LOL suspicion. What do you think he's doing? Replacing divots in the turf?

Bollocks. You can clearly see a punch thrown even if you can't see it landed.

[gt12]

Fucking hell. That’s shit refereeing.

[taniwharugby]

@dingo JB was in front when he took the ball, offside.

If it happened.

[Machpants]

Yeah maybe he punched the ground in frustration haha

[dingo]

@damo If you saw a punch thrown you have better eyesight than the ref and TMO.

[Tim]

Shouldn't that be a try? Squire should be off for his second card. Swinging arm with high initial contact is serious.

Bollocks. You can clearly see a punch thrown even if you can't see it landed.

If he's just punching air, why would you send him off for that?

[dingo]

@taniwharugby

But that wasn't what was ruled was it.

Rubbish. The ref and TMO clearly saw it because they disallowed the try.
