Hurricanes v Sunwolves

[Bones]

Jesus Skeen, that is not worth stopping the game for. Very debatable that Parker even touched Barrett's head too, balls up of a call.

[Tordah]

Ben Skeen is the most fucking annoying TMO. His voice, his constant interventions... bah

[Bones]

@tordah check check again...

[Higgins]

And he is back into it yet again, christ this is annoying.

[MajorRage]

Ben Skeen can you just fuck off?

Neither of those were worthy of your needless intervention.

[Bones]

Well I guess he's consistent. If it was a high tackle before, then Savea has damn near taken that players head off.

[Tordah]

what the fuck is wrong with that man

[Higgins]

At this rate Super Rugby might as well adopt ripper rugby rules.

It's the TMO show

[MajorRage]

At this rate I'm moving towards getting the TMO out of it all together and teams having to deal with shitty calls.

I do wonder what the behind the scenes chat is around how much the infield referees have to deal with the TMO's. I've heard both Barnes & Owens tell the TMO they disagree and are just going to play on, but I can't understand why Nutbrown hasn't said the same thing here for both of those. Tackle on Barrett was fine, and Savea's cleanout was as well. Surely Nutbrown could see that???

Someone cut off the TV feed to Ben Skeen.

If it is a yellow card, go back for it. However, if it is just a penalty, I dont see the point in going back to it. It isn't serious enough to rule out a try.

I can't say I agree with that. These calls were stupid, but if you've fouled in the lead up to a try, there's no reason why it shouldn't be called back (e.g. when the touch judge sticks his/her flag out).

“I’ve got some footage to show you” increasingly makes me think of Dad! DAD! DAAAD!!! WATCH!!! from our four year old.

[Tordah]

well, that was a try for me

Not if it has nothing to do with the try. Parker's tackle on Beauden was heaps of phases after.

And if it had been called at the time, it still would have been a try?

Dumb tactics to kick there. We needed to have some time with the ball in hand. We have let the Sunwolves dictate the second half.
