@KiwiMurph I think you're harsh. This was a great finish.

Agree to disagree. Any Super Rugby left winger would score there.

I was channel surfing and came back to hear Bridge scored. I thought to myself “bet it was a clear run in”. Not quite clear but didn’t have to beat anyone in the field of play.

Surely the refs can be a higher standard than this. Already players constantly over the ball with their hands on the ground not holding their weight. Basic stuff that should be easy to ref correctly.

Waenga has been around for ages and never progressed beyond NPC. At least there is some form of quality control
Edit: while the assessors we’re watching Dan, Pickerell slipped through.

@Crucial Waenga has officiated SR games.

Turbos lineout is a shambles

Thought he had. But not many compared to how long he’s been around

[Stargazer]

@Crucial What do you consider long?

He started officiating mid-way 2017 and was for the first time selected for the 2019 National Referee squad.

Ok. I just seem to remember him being around for a while.
I remember Pickerell seemingly since he left school but then he still looks like that and hasn’t improved much.
Maybe my hopes for referee quality were optimistic

Who threw that intercepted pass? Was that TK Howden?

Canterbury look well on track to chase down the White Ferns total with seven wickets in hand...

[Stargazer]

Because Ken Laban doesn't say it: Kegan Christian-Goss was part of the Napier Boys' squad that was Top Four runners-up in 2018.

Poor defence sees a massive batting collapse. 43/10.

Brayden Iose is a massive talent. Man he’s good with ball in hand.

Just tuned in and decided to watch the game from the start. How was that first tackle not a yellow at the very least? No different to Porter's tackle on BBBR and most of us felt that was a red. Terrible refereeing.

[Crazy Horse]

Has anyone else noticed Brayden Iose's twitch? He jerks his head to his left shoulder every few seconds. Never noticed it before.

Dom Gardiner is a Donkey🤣 Bridge tho that man at least knows his way over the chalk!
