Highlanders v Jaguares

Stargazer

That try was all on Ioane!

Duluth

That was classy from Ioane. Good long pass earlier too

He’s so far ahead of Black with ball in hand

Bones

@Duluth nice solid hit there on the winger too.

That was dumb from Lentjes.

fuck lucky the Jaguares let Dixon stand for so long doing nothing with his hands on the ball then rejoined the ruck...

KiwiMurph

That was some awful assistant ref work.

Camera angle shows ball go out about 10 metres out.

Assistant ref just gives it 5 metres out.

Cripes.

Dice

Probably the best game I've seen from Tomkinson with ball in hand. Even at NPC level, I've not seen him really attack like this.

Duluth

Good start by the Jaguares

..and again

I expect they'll fade away again

Bones

Some really ugly holes being left 2-3 wide of the breakdown by the highlanders. So frustrating, it's just lazy defence, people not scanning.

taniwharugby

Ioane has a similar style to Mounga...

Stargazer

Great passage of play from the Jaguares. Well-deserved try.

Donsteppa

A mixture of flailing and noncommittal defence there...

Stargazer

With Lentjes going off, who's replacing him there? Mikaele-Tu'u can play 6 and 8, but I've never seen him at 7.

KiwiMurph

How is O'Thief a world cup ref lol

Stargazer

Handbagssssss

Stag

@KiwiMurph one of the big positives for the AB’s at the World Cup is they get to avoid all the NZ referees

Stargazer

@Stag ... and instead getting a French one.

They didn't. With a bit more luck, they could have drawn or even won.

Were the Jaguares hard done by the ref or were they being their normal ethnic soccer culture selves?

@KiwiMurph no he seriously is a Joke he always Refs one team not the Game
