New Zealand v Wales - Saturday 26 June 2010 - Hamilton

Staying up all night for these internationals. It's currently 4 am here, then the Argentina vs France match is at 3 in the afternoon. These better be good games.:D
 
How long an advantage do you want to play ref, bout 5 phases before bringing it back.
 
That last clearing kick for territory by Carter was NFL-type stuff - 'looking-off' Halfpenny by standing on one side and feigning, then going back to where he was. Brilliant.
 
Don't think that should've been a yellow, tackle didn't look too bad at all, he did lift him, but he didn't land him on his head/neck or anything
 
"Tough call"?

Try "bad call", never a card offence. Penalty yes but not a card. Kaplan has been poor so far
 
Yeah, I thought it was a bad tackle, but never thought it a card-offense. Kaplan's been terrible.

Nickednz's sig is making more sense. :lol:
 
Kaps been so inconsistent with his calls, like letting a couple knock on advantages play on longer than a penalty advantage, and that yellow just tops off a bad half of refereeing.
 
Kaplan has spoiled this game like he does to many a game.

He goes ... 'Im going to just warn him' ... then gives him a yellow .... great call. Byrne was unlucky. He also has no clue whats happening at scrum time. Quite frustrating to watch really.

Wales are just not concentrating and to be honest we looked run down. Expect the All Blacks to go up a gear.
 
JT with a stupid shoulder barge,
That was more deserving of punishment than Byrnes
 
See that was a yellow card for Jon Thomas ...

Can't believe he is now Wales captain.

And now we will al be accused of making excuses by blaming the "ref".
