Warm Up Match 7: Hurricanes v British & Irish Lions (Wellington)

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Wow North botched that one completely...

Did he?

Wow North botched that one completely...

Yep you would expect an international winger to finish that with ease.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Why did he walk them over 15m forward for that penalty?
Penalty was for offside in the 5m lineout and then he walked them forward almost to the 22m for the kick

 

[TommiG88]

Well done Henderson... get yourself a ban.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Did he?

Yes he did.

 

[Truth]

Henderson, Joseph cited.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Yellow at worst there I think.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

If that was a NZ player the lions player would be made to apologise to said NZ player.

Nothing compared to the umaga thing.

 

[GoTheNaki]

.........

 

[Truth]

Sorry just Henderson. Not cited.

 

[Skylinerd1]

The British commies are like thats a controlled tackle. LOL Ben Smith was yellowed for the less than that one.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Somewhere BOD is having a fit.

That's the joke of it all.

NZ'ers have to cause injury before anything happens. And in that instance, nothing happened.

Let me also clarify. Definite yellow for Henderson.

 

[NDC89]

Looks like a Umaga/Mealamu special to me... No injury thankfully

 

[Truth]

Henderson silly because he was on fire.

 

[GoTheNaki]

This ref is disgusting... He almost talked himself out of giving that yellow. When he did TTT for a grab from behind... Gtfoh.

No injury cos hes kiwi anyone else...

LOL let it go chaps it was only 12 years ago.

umaga special was a hell of a lot worse.

Not even close - landed on his shoulder in a rolling action to take him towards his back.
Yellow card is dead right there IMO.

As opposed to to head first, and dropped into cervical compression resulting in... nothing beyond a shameful cover-up and no admission of wrongdoing even 12 years later.
