It seems to get worse when northern teams are involved… it’s like they’re trying to impress their WR paymasters

Lions <<<<< sum of parts
Tahs >>>>> sum of parts

Ground announcer. STFU.

I just watched that fat fuck Tupou for the last 5 minutes, did nothing outside of trying for an intercept and making a tackle because the dude ran straight into him.

MajorStokes

@Nepia I’ve been watching him tonight too.

Done some very very impressive ruck leaning.

Laziest, most unfit forward I've seen in recent years. Astonishing the Tahs gave him a contract.

Bovidae

The overhead view of the scrums has shown how illegal Tupou is at nearly every scrum.

The TMO doesn't like Lee-Warner.

Having hips wider than shoulders is a bad look.

Canes4life

Lovely start to the second half. Go the Tahs.

NTA

C'mon TMO. You wanna live forever?

NTA

To reiterate: Bowen is terrible

NTA

Soft edges at that ruck

NTA

Lambert's having a good game

sparky

Go the Tahs!

NTA

That box kick didn't go 10m and the lions didn't retreat. Isn't that offside??

NTA

Turinui going off in the Comms box about the charge down being called a knock on

antipodean

Can't say I disagree with him.

NTA

Leota won't be missed from a Tahs pov

They're too busy carrying Tupou who is waddling around the field.

He could make the same point without sounding like a crying twat

NTA

Real shame we're about to get blown away here. Good fight so far

sparky

Mitchell for the Lions and that might be when the floodgate opens.

antipodean

Nice by Mitchell after a comedy of errors by the Tahs puts themselves under pressure.

Dodge

Amazing to watch a different ref read hands on the floor whilst trying to steal the ball so differently between two back to back games

sparky

Bloody hard for a provincial team when the opposition can bring on a reserve front bench of the quality of Genge, Sheehan and Furlong.....

Dodge

Not watching the tackler try and rip his head off whilst trying to ground the ball then no?

Jack Bowen is the most overrated player produced by our crumbling system this century

Contact with head?

Given the number of interventions tonight I'm honestly shocked

NTA

Fuck me put your flag up

antipodean

How blind is that AR? I could see VDM was in touch from 300kms away.

Dodge

Wow that’s some shit reffing, clearing out player arriving and tackled behind the ruck before he got there, then give the pen for not releasing that’s hilarious

NTA

@Dodge TBF it isn't the first one that's happened tonight in either direction
