Yellow card. That was clear and cynical.

Lomax in front of the kicker and now with the neck roll

Victor Meldrew

EDG having a good game.

Our ball carriers are weak as shit. No punch through the line.

Knock on, isn't it?

These fucking ITV commentators are atrocious

48th try for Will Jordan. 2nd top scorer for the ABs.

No Quarter

Great hands Jordan, he just keeps scoring bloody tries

Tim

Great try. Nice kick through from Barrett.

10 minutes out from half time.

No Quarter

Carter has been pretty good on the left so far

Darry Degrout and Jacobson are getting across the line .. but others are too upright in contact ... like Ardie and Wallace

The quality of this game versus the Super final is night and day.

It's an entirely different game when you have a northern hemisphere ref looking to slow it down as much as he can.

And no punch up front. De Groot, Taylor and Lomax etc aren’t the types to bend a defensive line if we want to play optimistic rugby.

No Quarter

Did they just sub Carter?
