Spithill has pulled a major headbutt on Barker. Not just on the start but in his head.
I would like to see that again...I'm not convinced that NZ had time an opportunity there based on the short bit I saw...They did leave themselves incredibly vulnerable by being so early to the line but they shouldn't be required to anticipate Oracle's luff until it happens.
Jake, if you look at the replay... Oracle was still coming up and Barker put the wheel over towards Oracle in the middle of Jimmy still pushing up. It was clear from that that they didn't do all they could... They should have tacked.
