[QUOTE="Saint Matt, post: 554357, member: 68837"] At full speed, Dagg was brought to ground but appeared not to be held, which is why he got up and continued his run. If the same events had happened on a seperate part of the field, it would have almost certainly have been play on. However, when you go back and watch it over half a dozen angles, you can come up with a technical infringement, and as I said earlier, the TMO made an error IMO. In terms of the game itself, I think it was evident that Blackadder needs to take a look at his selection choices. The Crusaders have a great pack, as shown by their dominance in the set piece battle, but there is almost a sameness about their forwards IMO. Aside from Read they lack explosiveness, and a degree of mongrel I suppose. From what I have seen, George Whitelock is a good player, but I don't think the team is as balanced with him in it, especially when they bring Luke Whitelock in from the bench. I think someone like Jordan Taufua or Jimmy Tupou would take them to that next level, and would provide them with a little more balance at the very least. [/QUOTE]
