It was a penalty because right as Risdon steps across him he takes out the trailing leg out. Easy pen for VAR to spot.


The game flowed well, very little was missed, stop acting like there was a problem when there wasn't.
not really sure what the fuss is about. the only ref that's got some questions to answer is the VAR. The contact on Risdon was so immaterial that Risdon himself didn't event think to complain about it.

Great to see them get a win, very nervy last 6 minutes, otherwise the defence was very effective.

What does everybody think about Penha going along the bench and giving everybody a hug before the game? I thought at the time this was gamesmanship and he should have been shoved straight back out, but then when he didn't celebrate, I thought maybe it was genuine. Either way, Rudan would have never let him get within 10 feet. I'm not a fan of Rudan, but I feel we do need to show a bit more mongrel sometimes.
