Well finished by the Force but Petaia gifted that second chance

I’m interested in Kalapu v Vest. They were both in the Auckland NPC squad last year. Somehow Vest kept starting and Kalapu got loaned to Harbour

Watched bits of this. Very puzzled by refereeing at the tackle. Reds had immunity to take out anyone and come in from any angle. I know many refs are now tolerant and rarely pull up attackers but I thought this was extreme. Commentary was a bit ott so I fast forwarded a lot. Interesting to see how Reds go v NZ teams with this tactic.
