Yeah working good now

Mr Fish

Knock on aside, nice start from Barnes.

Bones

@Mr-Fish yeah got it now, bit patchy picture wise but that might be the telly.

Forbes is constantly buffering though even when the picture isn't. Guy just gets more and more pedestrian every time I see him.

The game is on channel 50 on skysport in NZ. Commentary is in Māori though

Bones

Annnnnnd Forbes rolls away at what he probably thought was lightening speed.

Bones

Thought a knock on was supposed to travel forward ref?

KiwiMurph

Think MABs would be better off with Kemara at 10 in this particular game

Bones

Interesting Riley is in this team - he was world class a year or two ago. Wouldn't have minded him switching back...

KiwiMurph

Nicely worked

Bones

Forbes looked like a prop when he tried to set off 🤣 great support and offload though

KiwiMurph

Cripes getting no luck from this ref

Bones

Barnes looking great on attack.

Mr Fish

Definitely a knock on from Riley.

Bones

Yeah, much more obvious than the one from Reihana earlier too

Though if we're being consistent with how forward passes are assessed, Riley does actually let the ball go out of his hands backwards, it's momentum that carries it forward.

Torian

Reihana average tonight so far

I can't recall a knock on ever being considered under the forward pass laws.
