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.

Fuck off Jackson, that’s momentum!

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

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?

In that case, penalty against Kolisi for tacking BFA on the ground. Therefore penalty try and yellow card.

Which was the first offence?

Oh how the fuck did he not score that

Surely Highlanders ball for knocked back?
Where is the consistency?
One of those rules that change depending where you are on the field?

Good try,

That was an eye catching run from Thompson at the start of that movement.

A Smith surely won’t be allowed in the All Blacks with that haircut.

SURELY!

Highlanders kicking game has been very poor tonight. Stormers have outplayed them completely in that area. Just the Stormers have defended so poorly. They could ship 50 at any time.

Just turned on for the second half.

A Smith's passing is just off the charts. So good. Finds runners, he's hitting people two channels out consistently. It just gives them so much space and stretches the defence. What a player

This is the kind of game that fresh legs could cause havoc, it’s been played at a hell of a pace, and physical so there’ll be tired bodies out there.

Oh Naholo....
I dear say they would have come back to check the pass anyway if he’d scored.
Looked forward to me.

@gunner

Backwards from the hands. Fuck Naholo is frustrating.

That one’s forward? Want to see a replay...

Think he got it correct...
