That's never a try.

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

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.

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

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...

Yea yea....

How about that last one?
Think he got it correct...

@gunner

Right call. Just saw the replay.

Game should have been put to bed.

@hydro11 yep and the Landers starting to look frustrated about it too.

Speaking of forward passes, he missed that one right in front of him. Doesn’t matter though, penalty Highlanders.

Good first play of the game GPT...
Had them under pressure so was no need for that silly shit.
