what! a joke! really stupid decision on Naholo, red card
he was going for the spilt ball, he didn'tchange his line to hit the Bulls player
sh*t local reffing in SA

I was wondering whether Naholo was purely going for the ball, because his hands / arms pointed in that direction, but he then looked at the Bulls player instead of the ball. Red is OK I think

Tordah

Aaron Smith has been very disappointing, he should worry about the ball himself, not pointing at the ref and not doing anything

African Monkey

It was a clear red only a biased kiwi would think otherwise.

He shouts and makes gestures like he's panicking. Totally losing his cool.

Stargazer

What a shit field. That's a ground for club rugby, not Super Rugby.

African Monkey

A shoulder charge into the head is always gonna be a red it's not a hard concept to understand.

Stargazer

Now THAT should be a red. Diving into the pile of bodies, straight with his shoulder to the face.

Just to think the Blues played the Cheetahs on a wet field..

Stargazer

And it is red. Way more deserved than Naholo.

Pleasants-Tate gets a shoulder to the face in a cleanout

how is it a shoulder charge, a shoulder charge is what blue 5 did

African Monkey

@Rebound Yup and also got a red for it. 2 correct decisions.

Tordah

Referee has been the best on the park

Stargazer

Landers should try a drop goal, when/if possible.

Stargazer

Yesss, Fekitoa!

African Monkey

And the Highlanders snatch it.

The Bulls decision to turn down 3 from 5 metres in front is one of the worst pieces of captaincy this season. Absolutely ridiculous decision.

Tordah

my stream has Fekitoa just scored, how far off am I?
