Chiefs vs Bulls

gt12

Fuck me. Chiefs give it up again?

Stargazer

Obstruction. Glad they took the right decision.

There has been a fair bit of running in front of the ball carrier by the Bulls tonight. This has caused the Chief's defence a few problems.

Fuck me yes

gt12

That’s hard core shepherding.

Crazy Horse

I thought there was a case for obstruction in the Bull's first try too.

mariner4life

No ruck rules and no offsides makes a fucking scrappy game doesn't it?

Have the chiefs 12 and 13 met before ?

Gunner

Jesus Strauss couldn’t have entered that ruck any at any more of a right angle if he’d tried

gt12

Tell you, an offside penalty against yellow would be nice ref. They’re in our backline

@hooroo said in Chiefs vs Bulls:

That is one of the greatest tries I have ever seen!!!!

He had no right to score that try. None!

That was power and skill and beauty and passion and love and sensual and OH MY GOD!!!!

Stargazer

So now Mmac really comes on; replacing Falcon. Messam replaced by ... ?

Crazy Horse

@hooroo do you need a tissue?

mariner4life

The chiefs have a lot of very ordinary players

Stargazer

Should be red card for the Bulls' prop; elbow to Dmac's head?

mariner4life

Who threw that fucking pass? Jesus fuck this is bringing back faaar to many bad memories of some very shit years.

Gunner

Refs going red, TMO wants to look again...

Correct decision should be red

Stargazer

Yellow, because he missed? WTF

mariner4life

Cowardice. Absolute cowardice.

antipodean

WTF is the TMO on? He should be sacked. That's a disgrace.

Stargazer

You'd expect the Citing Commissioner to step in and cite him anyway, because it should have been red.

Gunner

Oh wow, swinging arm to the head only yellow?

Love the consistency around these cards for high shots

gt12

That’s a stiff arm, should be red.

Will be changed by the authorities later and he’ll get a holiday.

Tim

What are the exact rules? Pretty lucky not to get red.

Stargazer

@tim "stiff arm" isn't in the rules; I think "force" is, but not sure.

mariner4life

A shame? Get. Fucked. Cooper you complete cock.

gt12

There is no midfield, so of course we need a silly chip kick.

Donsteppa

Thought that was a classic case of going for the tackle when the player falls over. Yellow card fine with me. I know you can make a strong case for a red under the current laws, but they're partly why I'm still clinging to the cricket season too.

Hooroo

We Suuuuuuuck at Rugby. Retallick excepted.

How did we beat the Blues???

mariner4life

Well, that was ordinary all round by us. Fuck me.

gt12

My goodness, umm, straight ref?

antipodean

Stiff-arm is in the laws. It's dangerous play.

Gunner

Finally a kick that comes off for the Chiefs.

I suppose if you throw enough stones at the window, one will hit eventually.

Good finish Alaimalo

ShadowTrooper

Alaimalo - beats 3 to score!!

gt12

Law 9.13 I think:

A player must not tackle an opponent early, late or dangerously. Dangerous tackling includes, but is not limited to, tackling or attempting to tackle an opponent above the line of the shoulders even if the tackle starts below the line of the shoulders.

No Quarter

Great finish young fella.

gt12

Fuck me, Fa’auli with the kick? He’ll be there all year now.

gt12

Needed that kick, dammit.

34-28 with five left.

ShadowTrooper

TTT better than Webber already
