Damn

[booboo]

Falls for Fluhler who seals the win

[Stargazer]

Fluhler gets the hattrick.

FT: NZ 38 - 21 Fiji

Black Ferns are through to the semis!

[booboo]

Hard game that.

[Stargazer]

Fijiana have improved a lot. They're going to be a real force in the Series. Maybe not this year, but I can see them win a tournament in the near future.

[booboo]

How farking stupid is the attempted intercept ruling getting??

Bloke grabs at it with two hands eyeing up 7 points and gets marched.

Getting stoopid

[taniwharugby]

@booboo yea was an equally ridiculous one last night in Sam-Arg...the comms lady was saying basically if you go for an intercept and dont get it it you get a YC...risk vs reward.

More like stupid mandatory rule.

[Stargazer]

Yep, that rule should be to prevent and penalise situations in which a player doesn't genuinely attempt to catch the ball - or doesn't have a realistic chance of a success in their attempt - and only knocks the ball on to interrupt the opponent's play. If they penalise it like this, they discourage players from making genuine and realistic attempts, too.

[taniwharugby]

Kenya giving SA a lesson.

Do you not have to support your own weight at the breakdown in 7s? So many let go in order to keep game flowing?

[Stargazer]

@taniwharugby I missed that game. The huge score suggests that either SA gave up after their loss yesterday, or they weren't good anyway.
