Please God let us win one single match! I'll be watching that game and then getting one more hour of sleep before going to work.

jags are going to smash cusaders!! jags by 15

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

We beat the cheetah's. Not that it counts as a formidable accomplishment.

But if you MUST watch a win moving forward, you're better off waiting for our games vs the Sun Wolves and the Kings.

Having said that, we are so unpredictable and temperamental that i wouldn't be surprised if we pull off an upset or two. Not that it matters thou, we've already destroyed any chances of moving forward in the competition.

 

[Dark Horse]

I'm afraid the Jag's disastrous first season is about to get a whole lot worse! I see this as their toughest game of the year. I just don't get it, such a good team, playing so poorly. I hope things change.

 

[Jaguares]

What about the new Christchurch stadium??? I really miss the Lancaster Park. It was one of the best rugby stadiums IMO

[Bruno_ARG]

Landajo and Lavanini out, yeah!

 

[Dark Horse]

I think Landajo is a loss. Quite simply, Lavannini had to go. His lack of handling ability has been killing the Jaguares.

Landajo started the competition in good shape but he has been dropping the ball (not literally) lately. One thing that I think is making us lose momentum is how much time he takes to decide and get rid of the ball at the rucks.

 

[Jaguares]

Here it's 4 am. I'm not sure if I must to sleep for the looooong working day and watch the game delayed or I must watch the game on live and go to the work in mode zombie

:sly:

 

[Dark Horse]

Judging by the start the Jags have made I'd stay in bed. This is going to get uglier.....

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

That was just embarrassing. Still, i think the saders player should have let him stand up. Penalty in my book.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Ok, i clearly do not understand the rules anymore. Min 47 a crusaders player throws a punch (misses), fist closed, full swing, gets caught by the camera, the ref, the players, hell, the entire stadium sees it, and it's not even a yellow card.

To be honest, i thought the jaguares player should have been yellow carded too, but i thought a deliberate attempt to punch someone was a red card.

Your not wrong but context is key and this is Super Rugby and consistency is frowned upon.

I'm not watching so can't truly comment but I loved this update from Planetrugby.com;

TMO referral for foul play. Andy Ellis throws a punch but it fails to land. Poor punch from Ellis so he escapes with just a penalty.

Cruz. Let me just pull you up on one of the great myths about rugby.

When a player goes to ground to take possession of a loose ball there is NO requirement for any player top let him get to his feet. "You have to let him up" is a phrase that is often repeated and it is WRONG, and has no basis in any Law of the game. It is in fact a complete misunderstanding of Law 14.

[TEXTAREA]Law 14: BALL ON THE GROUND - NO TACKLE
14.1 PLAYERS ON THE GROUND
(a) A player with the ball must immediately do one of three things:
• Get up with the ball
• Pass the ball
• Release the ball.
Sanction: Penalty kick[/TEXTAREA]
Just because one of the options of the player in the ground its to get up with the ball does not me that opponents have to let him do that.

[TEXTAREA]14.2 PLAYERS ON THEIR FEET
(a) Falling over the player on the ground with the ball. A player must not intentionally fall
on or over a player with the ball who is lying on the ground.
Sanction: Penalty kick
(b) Falling over players lying on the ground near the ball. A player must not intentionally fall
on or over players lying on the ground with the ball between them or near them.
Sanction: Penalty kick[/TEXTAREA]

At no stage did Mo'unga fall on top of the Jaguares player.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Thanks. I appreciate posts like that a lot.
The tricky part is to go for the ball without falling over the player. I need to see the play again.

Thanks again.

I couldn't watch the game. How was Bertranou? (I hate Landajo) and also Hernández as 10?
