Higgenbothem red card early. So much for the no dickheads rule.

Baaahaha. Captain fantastic at the reds is off before the game has even gone ten minutes.

@Duluth cheers for that

Looks like a red for Tui now too...

Has to be

More of a red than the first one

No balls

Found an excuse not to give it

@duluth that is a fucked decision. Looks like NZ have a ref of Rasta's calibre.

Very lucky to be only yellow. Only because the Rebels' player's shoulder and arm hit the ground first. Many other refs would have given red.

Yeah, NH ref gives that every day.

I'm more amazed Genia managed to avoid severe injury there, he's a sneaky fucker.

Good lord the Rebels are bad. Cut them too.

What was the red for?

HIggenbotham shoulder charged to head. SBW style, except the guy was much higher.

I'm ok with the second one just being yellow. Argument for red for sure, but Genia was fine, and didn't land head first.

The ball handling in this game is dreadful.

And then the head lock after. What a fuckwit

I'm thinking collision. Yellow for me.

@booboo Stupid play but would have given yellow too

Poor handling from both sides, but it’s a pretty humid and hot in Melbs tonight. But the defence was schoolboy. Most of the fries were unopposed training run stuff - and that was both sides.

The YC should’ve been red IMO.

Can’t believe what the game is coming to. That was not bad enough to warrant a red card by any stretch of the imagination.
