    @antipodean you think I know fuck nothing?! I know fuck all!!

    What's that a clue to? You've posted a picture clearly showing the bloke that got sconed, in the same position as when he got sconed 🤣

    Obscured. Look it up. When Niuia commits to the cleanout his collision is going to be on the player he's targeting.

    Which is the guy he's looking and aiming directly at? The prone guy with his head just above the breakdown.

    Kyle Godwin. The one he cleaned out with his shoulder and directed the overwhelming majority of his momentum at, not the one that copped a glancing forearm.

    What's he obscured by, any idea? Because the picture you've posted shows a direct line of vision.

    Godwin's arm and Akira Ioane. Watch the vision. With your eyes open this time.

    @antipodean incidental head contact happens in a lot of rucks, ludicrous to call this one out.

    Made me wonder why there weren’t red cards for Robinson and the Force player when they clashed heads. Both players obviously careless with direct contact to the head…

    noticeable how targetted Robinson was- held back and taken out well away from rucks. Got away with it, so smart play I guess, but very obvious

    @nzzp Haha watch the opening kickoff. Thrush just tackles Robinson 5 metres away from the ball/ruck.

    @nzzp given his breakdown work it makes sense to slow him down or stop him getting there to be effective, so yea smart as they got away with it.

    Maybe they think there is a Ginga rule like the Gopperth rule back in the day - free shot?

    How funny if that's in the laws?

    9.11
    Players must not do anything that is reckless or dangerous to others. Unless that player is a ginga.

    Yep, that sounds right, as I clearly remember:

    5.2 players must not tackle kickers after they’ve kicked the ball. Unless that player is Jimmy Gopperth.

    I think Jimmy Cowan utilised that rule the most.

    Yeah I think this makes it obvious and we can all agree on one thing, Australian refs should really undergo eyesight tests before being given a whistle.

    @taniwharugby Hopefully your wild ginger will have a blinder on the weekend.

    Fucking councils have no idea about anything. I might have mentioned that before.

    hang on, where is my ginger support group!? I knew there was something missing in my life!
    oh it is a control group. Talk about discrimination. Ginger is good for you.

    yeah, but look at the shit they have to go through to get it. Example 1 - Harry.

    A really stunning blonde once told me she accidentally scared off a guy when he found out she was ginger downstairs.

    I wish more guys were that picky. Did I mention she was really stunning?
