Even though he has been injured and looke barely fit

 

Anyone going or watching the game NZ vs Leeds game, I'm working so I'm missing it, hopefully will be able to get updates

 

Was a bit of a bludger, close contest for 70 minutes made up for it though.

You could tell most the players were coming straight back from holidays.

 

The last try tho...

 

Was a bit closer than the England game today, beat France 84-4

 

That is very easy money on his current form

 

Great short ball from RTS to Moa for the second try to the Kiwis, 10-0

England with a flukey try to get them back in the game.

Thought the replay from behind migth've shown a deviation off the hand but fuck knows with this fuzzy stream.

English commentators are 100% certain it came off the knee so probably a good chance it did brush the hand.

 

Nice line by Ferris, somehow England are level. 12-12, really don't deserve to be.

 

Nah I'm fine with the obstruction call, thought it was a pretty blatant one tbh.

Decoy runners shouldn't be hanging in the line, it's a typical Melbourne play. There's no contact but the defender is denied a direct line to the attacking player and that half a second where the defender is forced to run around the decoy hanging in the line is everything. The fact that there's rarely ever any contact by the decoy in these situations and that the fullback sweeping around usually goes through untouched makes it seem far less obvious than it is.

It's pretty simple as a decoy, either run through the line or pull up short the last thing you should be doing is hanging in the line.
