Waratahs v British & Irish Lions

[Which Tyler]

That TMO intervention is much more fair and appropriate


ETA: WTF?

 

[dullonien]

Right call, good reffing

Probably the right thing to TMO check even if it does slow things down

Yeah, live I thought it was shoulder to head. Was lucky he just missed

Guys have a look again, it’s not a legal clear out.

Because of the angle.

Warbs was right, it was a tucked shoulder, but Hansens so weak it looked worse than it was

 

[curtbob7]

Keenan and Hansen midweek shags confirmed

My VPN is sucking the life out of Stan.
It looked like a clear head hit to me, just with the upper pec, not the shoulder

 

[TRF_Olyy]

As much as I don't like Duhan id like to see him on early in the second half to give Kinghorn some time at 15

Yah, was still chest to head, and in from the side. Just wasn't quite as bad as I first thought. Still pen worthy at least, so surprised the try wasn't disallowed tbh

Or even just swapping him and Keenan around for the 2nd half

Some players are playing themselves well away from the test shirt

 

[dirty harry]

Hansens might have just played himself out of a test squad, and Mitchell is trying hard, his delivery has fallen apart, in that phase 2 players had to step in to take it and 2 others lost footing rejigging their footwork because of poor delivery.

 

[dullonien]

Lot of Lions players playing themselves out of a test spot!

 

[AlRums]

Hansen very unimpressive so far

 

[Grizwald]

Poorest 40 mins from the Lions this tour? Mitchell and Smith haven't been great and a theme of this tour is forcing it too much. Seem to do better when they're more direct.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Bernie has been really disappointing thought he would thrive this tour, feel he would've benefitted from a full week off.

 

[Crash Hamster]

Indeed.

May not have been a head contact, but clearly in at the side, which is a penalty.

 

[dullonien]

Keenan and Hansen have been shockingly bad. Half backs poor. VdF and Beirne pretty annonymous. Front 5 other than LCD meh

 

[odw26]

While it may have been in at the side, I really don’t want to see a precedent set for TMO reviews disallowing tries for reasons like that

 

[dirty harry]

Warbs is right, lions not really earning the right to go wide, partly because of the Tahs D, but also Mitchell has been awful.

Pods taking the ball standing still, no faint from Mitchell, and poor delivery.

Once the forwards get to hit the line at pave this game will open up I think
