Scott Barrett first person to get yellow carded this year.... And this guy is the all blacks captain?

3 mins into the season no less

Much more fun watching when they rush dying props and locks to pack the scrums and lineouts

Just tuned into the Blues vs Crusaders and it's a head on head clash. Both players bent almost 90 degrees, but of couse the defender gets sent off.

You could ban players and it wouldn't stop this from happening.

Glad we don't have this stupid rule in league.

I hate how they call it and keep referring to it as "foul play."

Its all fucking accidental......no one sets out to clash heads.

I've actually quite liked the Rugby this year, their certainly letting the game flow more.....the ease at which their quick to send players off the park still bugs me tho.

That last sin bin....it makes a mockery of the game.

I don’t think defenders can bend any lower tackling these days and they still clash heads

Holy shit watched the cinematic intro to the semifinal then camera pans to a half empty crowd 2 minutes before kick off at Hamilton

The sport seriously is dying man

 

[watcher]

They have priced the family out of the game.

League's really taking off here now in terms of popularity surely few more Nrl mid week games would sell more than this eh.

 

[CWC]

Maybe it’s also a reflection of how poor we are in Hamilton, rates spiked by 20% last year and they’re going to increase by 20% annually for the next 3-4 years, that’s about an increase of $1000 a year and spiking

There is definitely room for a second and third NZ team like soccer, people are tuning out of the clown tackling rules, watching it is like watching NRL high contact crackdown week every game

They’re losing $20M per year and still subsidizing women’s rugby (not disclosing how much deficit that is)

Used to Love Rugby I always loved league more but qualifier super rugby games I'd tune in at a heartbeat.
Nowadays I'd rather watch the Knights and Roosters.

Yeah how good would a warriors v Keas rivarlry be, the game would skyrocket here i reckon.

World championships cricket test final will be more interesting than rugby, hope SA don’t choke as usual to beat the Aussies tonight (69 runs with 8 wickets in hand)
