Highlanders might be in trouble with a video ref referral for a tip on a Stormer at a ruck

Or not, get away with what you can I guess

who Is this fucking muppet in 11 for the landers? Fuck he’s useless.

Highlanders could do with some ball

This looks silly, he’s bringing his left arm around. No YC here.

@gt12

And no YC.

Stormers looking good and it’s 12-15.

Great try landers.

The stormers kick chase not quite good enough that time and Naholo makes a nice catch.

19-15

I sense the Stormers will run out of steam in the second half

I think Walden blew a try chance there.

Landers 11 looks like he doesn’t know the laws.

Bet he’s a good athlete though.

Is not straight not a thing anymore?

Also why was that tackle around the neck let go before?
High is high regardless how much power is in the tackle and if it is effective or not, surely?

Fuck off Jackson, that’s momentum!

Anyway regardless, I see players crawling after being tackled numerous times during a game

Jackson was going all hometown to start the game but he had a makeup call with BFA's non-try.

@gunner

I don’t mind the call if it’s consistent, but we’be Already seen examples of that much crawling in this game.

I'm tempted to start www.crawlwatch.co.nz. Farking hate it - once a knee hits, you're tackled son. Don't get up and go again, and ffs don't crawl.

Not momentum but he was never held in a tackle. Rubbish call from Jackson, who I suspect was trying to make up for the turnover call at the other end when Bender had his hands on the ground.

Highlanders robbed of a try there. Or 3 at the very least. No way he was held. Then the Stormers player dived on Smith as he was on the ground, which minutes earlier had been a penalty the other way. So if it is no try for crawling surley it is a penalty for diving on the player on the ground.

Once a knee hits while you are grasped by the tackler it is a tackle.

That's never a try.

Fundamental rule that you've got to play the game on your feet.

Don't suppose you'd mind telling a few refs this?
