@Bones said in Māori All Blacks v Japan XV:
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.

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

What I mean is that 'forward' isn't defined in the laws. But in the case of passes, 'forward' means 'forward out of the hands' - so why should it be any different for knock ons?
@antipodean another point in the 'should play 10' column.

Get Kemara on
At 9?
Reihana is pretty yuck, but yeah Lennox has been remarkably sloppy so that's probably not helping

Not leading from the front there Bailyn
Not surprised it's a Hawkes player

He hasn't played for the senior Bay team (yet), still has that whiff of the Canes on him.
@brodean said in Māori All Blacks v Japan XV:
That was a bad call. Barnes was always bound.
Looked to me like he joined from offside.

Congratulations on signing Barnes tho
@antipodean said in Māori All Blacks v Japan XV:
Two cards and a try as a direct result of Norris who has given away a series of penalties.
Could also blame Lennox for the handling error
@KiwiMurph Yeah, that was unforgiveable.

They were named on Monday and had to travel. This is not unexpected

I wish! He'd make a handy replacement for Flanders and/or Miracle.
