WTF was the near touchie doing asking for the sideline to be checked? Blind clown.

I was just about to say that. Shocking call, not even close. Same touchie that couldn't see the Brumbies having to catch a lineout down their outside shoulder.

That touchie is Nick Hogan (Wellington referee), one of the local officials they use in addition to the 15-man SR referee team. Until last year, he was refereeing Heartland games only.

Yeah understand they need to step up some time, but at least get the really easy things right!

New ref?

Yeah that was utter shit. If you can't trust your eyes for something like that then you have no business being there.

I didn't hear the commentary at the beginning of the 2nd half. Why has Anselmi taken over the whistle?

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Good. Out-Pocock these feckers.

[Stargazer]

Ah, okay, they're saying Briant has a muscle strain.

[akan004]

No need for Barrett to go for the grubber kick. Will he ever learn to show patience?

[Stargazer]

@akan004 It's only his first game back ...

[akan004]

@Stargazer True, but why waste a free play with a speculative kick?

[canefan]

Good to see that delusional coach and his powder puff forward pack are getting the pumping they deserve.... oh wait....

[KiwiMurph]

Tiatia is having about a million times better game than Jordie last week.

[Yeetyaah]

Kirifi is great. Huge fan. He'll become a great loosie going forward.

[Bones]

If the Canes stopped giving away these penalties with the brumbies under the pump, they'd be all over it.

[Stargazer]

Yussssss, Laumape!

[Bones]

Haaaaa good attempted tackles there by Banks and Lucas.

[Stargazer]

Remember, the ponies also lost to the Rebels in round 1. Maybe they can only play well at home, or the Chiefs were really, really bad last week.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

He is a farking brick. I would hate to try and tackle him.

[taniwharugby]

that ball from TJ made that...good work by Laumape but some shite efforts to tackle him

[Donsteppa]

That was horrendous defending by the Brumbies.

Why couldn’t they have played like that last week...

[Stargazer]

Hat-trick Laumape at his home ground!
