From memory, and I was at the opposite end of the ground, the Rich ruckman took it easily, after Cas stumbled cluelessly towards the boundary line, and either snapped the goal or hacked it fwd and someone else snapped it. It was an example of how poor Cas's ruck craft is and how little he imposes himself physically on a contest. If he cant ruck, cant impose himself physically and cant kick straight, his days are well and truly numbered. Whilst Phillips is injured, we don't have much choice and Gorringe is as soft as butter IMO. Its a problem area that I dont think we can rectify in the immediate future.
Actually thought it was one thing Casboult did well last night was ruck. That area is much improved. It was his lack of impact around the ground, especially in the first half was the issue.
