That offload by Otago 10 for their third try. Absolute quality. And he got their second. He has a big future

[@jamesgenever4557]

Great that my old school has become such a force. Nelson no longer a rugby backwater.

[@KoozeLooze]

good luck to the NC lads up north. hope you get up better than we did in 07 haha

[@ghtwghtw7197]

Obhs old boy here. Great game

[@RugbyGuide]

Are three-player latches still allowed outside of the pros? One for OBHS's first score, and another for that tap pen in the dying minutes.

[@maistrianpolitics]

In the UK only 1 is allowed to latch on to another

[@Eaglevisionary]

Awesome.

Wanna know why Rugby doesn't have mass national appeal outside NZ? @2:04. The willingness of referees to kill a game by penalising the team in possession is a persistent blight upon the game. Rugby League is a better sporting spectacle because it's simple.

[@newremote]

They were penalised for illegally holding onto the ball after the tackle. It's not killing the game, it's to allow players to compete for the ball for a turnover. It's pretty simple really.

[@megafauna8374]

@@newremote You would say that if it was your team that gained an advantage, but then 2 min later you'll be outraged by the arbitrary interpretation of the same 'rules' by the same referee. Rugby is deliberately and stupidly arcane.

[@newremote]

@@megafauna8374 Contesting for the ball is central to rugby union which makes the laws more complex. Like many millions of others, I'm fine with that and I don't expect perfection. And what might look arbitrary to you will make perfect sense to someone with a better grasp of the laws. I also watch a lot of rugby league and league fans complain about decisions all the time, constantly. It's the nature of any sort of football.

[@megafauna8374]

@@newremote Sure, Rugby League referees make mistakes, but those mistakes are less arbitrary, less technical and esosteric. A rugby referee hands out 3 point penalties like confetti. That doesn't happen in RL. Rugby has become a bit like soccer, the lesser team wins more often than they should.

[@newremote]

@@megafauna8374 Arbitrary, esoteric? It's very rare that I don't know why a penalty is given, just like my friends who also know the laws. Union is harder to ref than league but the decisions aren't arbitrary, they're based on the laws which aren't esoteric, anybody can learn them. And your assertion that lesser teams win more than they should is not something I've noticed at all. In fact I'm sure it was much more common in the old days than it is now.

[@vonkderidder8494]

Hahaha! Kiwi softies.. The SA schools really dominate the NZ scene.. I blame the poor upbringing the kiwi kids receive..

[@seanyshepfit]

Yeah SA school rugby is mad. However, NZ are still best at test level 😂

Come back when the Boks have a winning record against the All Blacks. See you never. Useless shit stirrer
