It was 100% yellow under current laws, great try though, this is a cracking game to remove the taste from that shit sandwich served up earlier

Not the way WR want the game reffed nowadays

Initial contact looked fine it was just the arm coming up, in what looked like an attempt to wrap, that caught him high. Penalty yes but a yellow card??

Did I miss the latest laws update from WR that allows Sexton to take 5 minutes for a conversion.

You’ll need a neck brace after watching the ball going into the sky all game.

Coles comes on.
Immediately scratches his balls.

Struggling to put into words the ways in which I think a talented AB side has seemed a lot less than the sum of its parts this year.

That was a real dumb call to go blind off that scrum...

It's the scourge of the modern game. Where is the illegality in just being beaten by a stronger pack. The whole idea of the scrum is a contest for the ball with one team having the advantage of the put in. It's has just been bastardised into this bollocks and its terrible for the game
Silly argument. If a one team is negating another team's superiority through continually conceding penalties, they need to be punished.

It's like the arguments you see when a defender takes the head off a player legitimately diving for the line to score. Do it legally or don't do it at all.

Why tap and go there? Then just have to belt it downfield? This kiwi side is so strange.

The scrum was a way of restarting the game and considered a contest for the ball. Often penalties are given when the scrum is just pushed back. You explain where the illegality is in that.
