I haven't been following the thread, and I am a Highlanders fan.

But is anyone else worried about Aaron Smith being blatantly offside at a ruck in the lead up to the second try by the clan?

Ozzies are

That's OK then. I don't know what the TMO protocols are these days but I would have been OK with that being looked at by the TMO if within 2 phases.

I think 2 phases is not a thing any more.

Could well be.

I feel like I am only half a step from being a grumpy old man shaking my fist and saying "would never have been allowed in my day..."

I can't believe I'm saying this... But has Gregory actually played well so far🤔

Crazy Horse

It's amazing Kahui is still playing given he was always injury prone.

That's probably why!

Bones

Geez been a long time since I've not seen advantage over after a kick!

Derpus

@Machpants Force are done. Their coach has already been sacked and their big shot at a scalp against the Blues failed. I reckon they all want the season to end.

Bones

That was an embarrassing scrum for a seasoned tight five.

Looks like the pushed the wrong way.

Bones

Paea! Broke a tackle! Shocked and stunned

UJ has been playing well tonight.

Derpus

Pasitoa has turned attack into defence with every single touch. Blokes pretty fucking shite.

Bones

Even Marshall is dominating the force.

Derpus

I dont get mauls. Why couldnt he tackle the guy?

Swam around the side, then changed bind

Grooter

It's great to have a consistent goal kicker out there tonight

Bones

Hey BOK if a player is obstructing and gets pushed under his own player...it's obstruction eh.

Refs need to call out when halfback puts hands on it I reckon.

Grooter

good work Holland

antipodean

This game highlights yet again the benefit Aaron brings when teams make the effort to provide quick ruck ball.

Back to the old rules, I agree. But not the law as it stands
