Just turned it off after the 4th non-straight to the lineout call - what rubbish - they should be embarrassed

Not only is the product bad... the ABs are poor.

Just caught last 30 minutes while waiting for a flight at Auckland airport. Quite entertaining and no shit box kicks. First 25 that I watched was terrible.
Absolute ridiculous send off earlier for accidental collision which wasn’t even penalty worthy and the victim who was responsible for the contact didn’t even go off an HIA.

Just remembered why i hate watching rugby

ABs Ireland theyve just wasted 10 minutes watching the same fucking replay of the most pathetic "dangerous" hit. This code seems so hell bent on sending players off the park.....its ridiculous

I knew the All Blacks game was kick off at 9am from seeing it on the Sky Guide.

I slept in after watching the Ashes Test. Got up at 9:30am and there was only 12 minutes gone. The maths didn't add up.

I knew there was a red card and would be a bit of a delay there. I still thought they must have started late.

Anyone else reckon Peter Lakai moves almost like Halasima? So smooth

Same. Him and Sititi would be great at league.

It’s certainly a penalty, although not hugely intentional the Irish player braces with the shoulder and it contacts the head, no attempt to lower on a fully upright player and there’s not much choice in a card. Don’t think it deserved a red but now that it’s only 20mins they get a bit stricter on contact.

Dont blame the teams, they have no control over the officiating. World Rugby (arrogant title) has to sort ouf Unions 2nd phase play, they banned rucking because the Northern hemidphere geams were crap at it. Tbe red card was only a penalty imo.

I remember Scott Robertson saying leaguies asked him about Sititi last year.

Rucking was banned because the look of people putting their sprigs into someone pinned under bodies was getting more and more scrutiny. Like the shoulder charge in league it's extinct and never coming back.
