Daft thing was he lost the ball in the first tackle. Liam Williams' shoulder barge may not have been necessary, he would have knocked on / put it in touch anyway.

V stupid. Even if they'd got the try, they might not have convertedfrom there. LIAM YOU IDIOT!
No offence to London Welsh, but this is a bad result for the Premiership and English Rugby. A team with a tiny support base in the top tier at the expense of Bristol and Worcester, big clubs in rugby cities. Leeds might not have much higher gates but Yorkshire has always been a rich source of talent.
Sorry to be harsh on LW but it doesn't help Rugby be seen as a big sport and the Aviva as a serious league with such small teams in the prem.
London Welsh are today expected to announce the signing of Piri Weepu from the Auckland Blues, according to reliable sources.
It marks another huge signing in their already impressive recruitment drive, with the 71-cap All Black set to bring real experience of rugby at the very top level. He will join the likes of Olly Barkley and Tim Molenaar in what is starting to look like a very useful back line.
Weepu’s career is yet to take him outside of New Zealand, beginning his career in Wellington both for the ITM Cup side and the Hurricanes, before moving to Auckland and the Blues. It is understood that he has expressed a desire to play in the Aviva Premiership.
London Welsh have already recruited an astonishing 20 players ahead of their return to the top league in September, and head coach Justin Burnell recently confirmed that they were in the market for at least five more. None of them are likely to be as big a name as Weepu.
Burnell recently spoke of looking to the Super 15 franchises, whose seasons are about to end, to bring in players, and with Weepu’s international career seemingly at an end (he has not played for the All Blacks since June 2013) he would be a sensible signing, given that he is unlikely to feature in the upcoming Rugby Championship.
Touch judge calls the referees attention to a scuffle and they go to the TV ref
Crusaders player had thrown a punch at the sharks player but missed ( and ended up connecting with his own player:o) . Not much of a punch but the intent was there
The decision was a penalty and no card ...how. The Sharks capt questioned the ref about the intent and he said it didn't matter as he missed
Totally wrong imo
And then from the resulting pen, the Sharks messed up and the Crusaders went the length of the field and scored:)

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! lol
Oh ****, TMO decision
You berk Liam Williams >:(
Illegal tackle by Liam Williams denying a try
Ok Thanks
thought it may of been for collapsing the scrum or similar
Can't argue with an illegal tackle sadly
Gutted about that result, we almost had that much needed big 3 scalp before that second of lunacy from Liam Williams
Hopefully we'll get that elusive scalp in the autumn when we play the big 3 (and Fiji) in the space of a month

32-30 to the Brumbies, time up and the Brumbies set up a straight forward drop goal:(
but then he turns and wells it into touch
Can't understand the decision making
