@steven-harris yeah, that was a shocker.

[nzzp]

That should be it right

I’m surprised that Fitzy or Mealamu never got a hat trick

I’m surprised that Fitzy or Mealamu never got a hat trick until now

They might have if they played in this era.

@gt12 That was for Blues. Maybe for Auckland?

For sure, but especially Fitzy I would have thought would have had a chance (not only from mauls)

He must have at least one for them

@bones third time I can think of.

Yeah that's what I said, luckily the last one didn't result in the other player going off, but Alaimalo hasn't been the same since he got fucked over.

How did the ref see that as ok?

[Stargazer]

Sullivan getting the turnover by lying on a couple of bodies. MP not the only team doing it and refs not doing anything about it.

Dalton got the turnover not Sullivan

[Stargazer]

@kiwimurph Maybe, but he was certainly lying on that pile of humans.

@kiwimurph at the previous ruck the cleaner was in the side too. Horizontal.

Well there was no one else there so he wasn't preventing anyone.

I wish the refs would go hard on that. We’d have less head injuries if those joining a ruck had to stay on their feet.

[taniwharugby]

@kiwimurph I thought he got a touch helping the ball coming back while.lying all over it.

[Stargazer]

@taniwharugby Yep.

How about heads not below hips? That's never even thought of being enforced

They only ref the defending team. It sucks.

[Tim]

Rucks have been a mess tonight. Lot of cleaners off their feet.
