Hurricanes v Reds

[KiwiMurph]

SBW got done for that in France didn't he?

[Damo]

I think that is really harsh. The ball was way up in the air. Very hard to successfully force it. I didn't think he intentionally knocked that dead.

@machpants that was the penalty, kirifi had both hands on the ground, dragged them did then leaning on the player.

Did they check Laumape was onside?

I think we're talking about different things. All random anyway, with the refs

[Paekakboyz]

That is terrible. Talk about immediately assuming the worst intent possible.

[African Monkey]

Fair call, he knocked it dead on purpose. People can moan and moan about it but the call was right and rules are rules.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Karma for last week maybe?

[Derpus]

Fucken 'ell...

[Crucial]

The deliberate part of the call was borderline but the assertion that Laumape would have grounded the ball otherwise is just plain ludicrous

[Steven Harris]

About as awful a decision as you would ever see ..

[African Monkey]

@kiwimurph Yup, and he didn't need to do it either.

[taniwharugby]

With Kirifi and Laumape the canes have 2 of the most over rated players in NZ

Then don't try to. He didn't attempt to catch it and that's not a genuine attempt to ground a ball when it's that high off the ground. Good decision.

What the fuck was he supposed to do let Him score fucking joke

Try to grab or ground the ball. Pretty obvious

He tried to ground it,it was a downward motion
Harsh call I have been in the position you are trying to get it grounded fucking idiot Ref has made a complete clown of himself the whole game.

If it was too hard to force due to the height then he should have left it.

Judgement call on the deliberate part. I could see it coming but thought it harsh. The PT part is what I question more.

[Steven Harris]

Funny how good your scrum can be when you have your 3 best scrummaging front rowers on the paddock

[Donsteppa]

That looked to me like just two players going for the ball, not much more intent than that, but made to look worse by slow mo.

[taniwharugby]

@crucial i thought Laumape may have been in front of the kicker too

[Rebound]

@crucial why are you fixated on the deliberate part. That's the offence in the law. So that's what it is

Funny how goo

Agreed, 100%.
