[QUOTE="unrated, post: 946396, member: 45773"] Ardie Savea is the best rugby player in the world at the moment. Also the hurricanes keeps on stealing balls. Their technique is questionable and really works in the grey area of the law. They start the the stealing process while on their feet as soon as they get their hands on the ball, then a Hurricanes player would intentionally throw himself to the ground and in the process slightly jump over the ball rotate with their back facing the opposition team and push the ball to their team. Ref then holds his hands up and say play on Other teams would get their hands on the ball, stand with a strong stance and hold on while on their feet waiting for the ref to call a penalty. The Hurricanes seem to start their stealing like this but they almost intentionally fall over as if they feel that 1 or two seconds on your feet while holding the ball means it is now yours and that of an opposition player touches you then you can make a forward roll to protect the ball which is now yours. This is then interpreted by the referee as a tackle and whoever was close to the player when he did the role can’t just steal it back as he as the tackler first has to release. It screws teams over. Hurricanes will win the competition. [/QUOTE]
