Consistency Sam.
Consistency in calls all over the board from all the Match Officials,Northern and Southern Hemisphere.
Clarity and Consistency from World Rugby regards Rugby Law and the interpretation thereoff.

Consistency and Clarity will ensure the Wellfare of the Game..and more importantly..the player.

This is what we all want.
I personaly believe the game’s gone soft.

But those calling the shots,Those Officiating those calls,arent on that wavelenght.
Player safety is becoming paramount.
And the game WILL CHANGE,not because I am tired of the bs calls and having to week in week out have to ajust my interpretation of the Laws from game to game,Officials to Officials..
But because insidents like these will continue to happen,and at some point it will come to a head where a player is severely injured.
And World Rugby,the IRB.
Will abolish contests in the air..

And it will have nothing to do with my interpretation nor opinion of the matter.

Protect the player.
And you protect the Game we know now.
Because if we dont.
Those changes Will be enforced.

Personaly..the games gone soft

Mean green: Ireland snatch third Test, series win from Wallabies

Can’t say I agree with everything Kirky,
But the majority of what u said resonates.
Good summarisation.

Fighting Irish: Visitors level the series with 26-21 win

Epic resolve from the Blues.Hats off to you.

Great play Blues.
Well deserved try

Blues vs Crusaders: Super Rugby live scores, blog

Yup..tad dissapointed with the saders in that regard

Blues vs Crusaders: Super Rugby live scores, blog

Good call.
Strange..wtf..were u thinking mate..

Blues vs Crusaders: Super Rugby live scores, blog

Would have loved if the TMO picked that up and called it.
There is more than enough room in rugby law for big hits without foul play getting involved.

Blues vs Crusaders: Super Rugby live scores, blog

Take a bow SBW,bloody good run.

Blues vs Crusaders: Super Rugby live scores, blog

Amazing handling of the ball in these conditions from both teams.

Blues vs Crusaders: Super Rugby live scores, blog

Got my reservations regards that call..Saders got of easy in my opinion.

Blues vs Crusaders: Super Rugby live scores, blog

Great try Blues,seta what u doing bru..

Blues vs Crusaders: Super Rugby live scores, blog

How big an impact will the weather have..??

Blues vs Crusaders: Super Rugby live scores, blog

As a Crusader I hope my team leaves nothing on the field.
Likewise with the Blues,seeing a cracker coming.
Sunwilves game was brilliant to watch and fully agree Thomas 🙂

Blues vs Crusaders: Super Rugby live scores, blog

Well you called it Scott..3 points.

Sunwolves vs Stormers: Super Rugby live scores

Not defending anyone JB.
Loss 39 was a huge one,and rightly the Tahs with a 29 point lead should not have conceded 31 unanswered points.
This is not about Kiwis vs Aussies or Saffas.
Its not a “there there”..yeah you lost..but its ok you should have won post either.
Its about the Spirit of the Game and the impact the officials made in the end results,for both teams.
From an objective perspective.

Crusaders vs Waratahs: Super Rugby live scores, blog

Yeah…ghehehege..Smith had some serious voodoo going on there for a bit lol.

Crusaders vs Waratahs: Super Rugby live scores, blog

Thanks for the reply mate.
I am a firm supporter of abolishing cards in games and making the post match sanctions something to dread and fear.
For both players and officials.
I doubt this will come to pass.

With this game the Aussies are at a loss of 39 and 0.
And when a rampant Tahs side steamed ahead 29-0, that 38-1 win/loss ratio seemed cemented in the history books.
Had moody gotten the red as was due,the saders would have been 14 men for roughly 50 odd minutes.
That try would also not have been given.
And ball would have been given to Tahs at 14 men each team.
Could the saders have made a comeback down a man and that try disallowed..nick came back on at roughly 46mins.
With the way the Tahs were playing I have my doubts.
Yes the Tahs didnt capitalize on opportunities.
But in a game this tight,with that much to play for,having a 29-0 lead.
Having an opposing team score 31 unanswered points shines a huge spotlight on many factors.
And unfortunately Ben o Keeve was dead centre in it.

I abhor blamming reffs.
And dont want to hark on about it.
And as rugby loving supporters we can agree to dissagree.
We actualy share the same viewpoint,but I feel in the spirit of the game,The Spade in this game has to be called.
Be blessed mate

Crusaders vs Waratahs: Super Rugby live scores, blog

No snakeoil mate.
Just calling spades spades.
Tahs were hard done by,and even though saders were on a comeback,there were too may costly calls to the tahs that handed my team the game.
I and do believe my team as well dont like winning like that.
But a win is a win on the board.

Crusaders vs Waratahs: Super Rugby live scores, blog

As a sader fan i will take the win.
And am honest enough to admit we had the rub of some serious green.
We fought back hard against a rampant Tahs.
The 2 yellows put us back in the game.
As for Joe..bloody joe..should have been a red.
As for the pnly try..should have been a pnlty to the tahs,saders were angling in and tahs buldozed them.
Bernard..wtf dude..
Tahs should have won with unbiased beter officiating.
Ben o keeve..shame..shame..shame..shame..

Saders.
You did good.
Tahs you did brilliant and yes u were robbed by the reff…not the saders..
Shouldnt have to make a distinction between those..but seems some supporters dont grasp that concept.

Tahs you were brilliant and should have won.
Keep building on that.

I hear regards Damien,but he is a slippery dangerous young lad with ball in hand and broken play. But agree he needs time to slot into his position.Sam Cane was a monster in those tackles.
Its sad for the yellow on Crotty and the penlt try.
The reff played a major part in this match,ill discipline from the Crusaders,the initial handling errors from the Chiefs,and law interpretations..i believe had anybof those shifted slightly into another direction the outcome would be quite different.

Crusaders vs Chiefs: Super Rugby live scores, blog

GG boys.
Putem to the sword?
Sad regards all them cards.
Chiefs played very well.

Crusaders vs Chiefs: Super Rugby live scores, blog
