RWC: Argentina - England (10-09-2011, 20:30)

So you are ok with the bright green the highlanders will be strutting around in next year?

I couldn't care less what colour shirt the Highlanders are wearing, the only thing that I care about is the quality of rugby they are playing!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Stade Francais shirts are glorious!

So it wouldnt bother you if fans from opposing super rugby teams(like me for instance) think u guys look like gay leprechauns in the new strip?

No, as unlike your team the Highlanders don't play like gay leprechauns

haha i think the gay leprachauns have had the edge the last couple match ups!

Highlanders are only using that strip for away games now anyway, they had a change of heart after all the negative feedback.

 

[UilamOsa]

From a neutral perspective - I thought the jerseys weren't that bad.

They aren't earthshattering nor are they making a fashion statement but at least they hard to miss.

If you really want to go all out - should have a tartan jersey.




Not even the scots are that brave...

 

[Izzoard]

Lawes is cited. Does anyone have a link to a vid of the incident?

 

[JW.]

No couldn't find it, but I saw it happen live and didn't think much of it al all? Suprised to see him cited :S.

 

[Logorrhea]

Ledesma was in touch over the touchline and Lawes came barreling in about 2 seconds later. Knee to head and pretty much knocked him out.

It was late, pointless, and reckless.

Not in the slightest bit surprised to see him cited.

The whole match is on the ITV player here:
http://www.itv.com/itvplayer/video/?Filter=271712


I'm going to try and find the time in there (need to pop out to the bank first so if anyone finds it before me then post up when it is!)

I can't remember seeing it in the match to be honest, I remember seeing Ledesma down injured, but not the incident

 

[donmcdazzle]

He will get a couple games for that I would imagine, pretty stupid play.

 

[Izzoard]

I live abroad and ITV-Player doesn't work, can access via a proxy but it won't run... ;-(

Go to 49:40 on this video

Definitely bad that is - I reckon he'll get two games for it (and rightly so)
Just dove in with his knees after he was in touch, no need whatsoever
Even if Lawes didn't think he'd gone out of play he still dove in with his knees

 

[Izzoard]

It's probably a risk you take when you chose to play 80 mins of forwards manning up to each other, with some younger guys in the team. Tempers were fraying (Haskel for eg), my favourite was the hookers kiss, the whole pub broke out at that!

Will take a clip and stick it on youtube for you in a few mins
