[Machpants]

[Steven Harris]

Yeah Kahui got a yellow by court, so yellow seems right by rules. Ennor should have HIA

[taniwharugby]

@Machpants yeah he looked like he dropped like a sack of potatoes

[Steven Harris]

@Machpants it’s absolute madness,it’s not foul play ..this game is like a dog eating it’s own tail

[hydro11]

It seems like you can't mitigate down to just a penalty.

[Stag]

@Steven-Harris it’s consistent and that’s all it can be until they relook at the rules

[taniwharugby]

@hydro11 there was one a couple of weeks back, the Crusaders reserve lock.i think, went down to penalty then he got himself red carded 5 mins.later.

[Steven Harris]

@Stag ,this is where the NRL beats Rugby hands down ..if a rule looks like crap ,the NRL will change it immediately even if it is mid season

[taniwharugby]

@Steven-Harris aren't they pretty much self governing, whereas rugby has WR who seem to have no feel for the game running things

They do a bloody nice gin and tonic in their Dublin office, tho. Whisky is good, too

[Stag]

Christie has to be very much in the discussion for the All Blacks number 7 jersey.

[Steven Harris]

@taniwharugby that’s your answer right there ,one organisation has a feel for it’s own game ..they other is quite prepared to sit back watching this debacle unfold

[Machpants]

Lol well over ten real minutes later, they call for an HIA. Pathetic work by the doctors.

[Steven Harris]

@Machpants someone from WR must have rung Bryce Laurence

Rang? They've only just moved into the telegraph

[taniwharugby]

Nice angle run there, but then loses the ball.

The Drua could be really good in a couple of years with the right coaching a couple more decent recruits and a wee bit.more structure

Same as MP, bloody early days, and a really compressed start. The Drua have a chance of going somewhere, whereas, imo, MP will always just be a sixth NZ side, as their international teams totally rely on NZ born and trained players

[Canerbry]

@antipodean elaborate?
