Chiefs vs Bulls

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?

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!!

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

Stargazer

Another terrible high shot, this time on Mmac. Not spotted?

Nope, 9.12:

A player must not physically or verbally abuse anyone. Physical abuse includes, but is not limited to, biting, punching, contact with the eye or eye area, striking with any part of the arm (including stiff-arm tackles), shoulder, head or knee(s), stamping, trampling, tripping or kicking.

Scrum down, 12 runs in to pat everyone on the back, retallic grabs him and pushes him out "fuck off mate, the men are working"

ShadowTrooper

Thank you for coming Bulls, nice timing ALB

Gunner

Haha Fa’auli runs into to pat the forwards on the back, BBBR grabs his shirt and throws him out of the way, thinking to himself ‘fuck off idiot’.

Great way to finish.

Gee the chiefs largely sucked but they hung in and got the job done.

Stargazer

Deserved win to the Chiefs, but the score is flattering them big time.

FT: Chiefs 41 - 28 Bulls

gt12

Nice finish, glad they got there, although they fucked my tipping, as usual.

mariner4life

Try time, we won. Yay.

M4L wonders why he supports the Chiefs given he only likes 3 of our players

antipodean

A game of two halves. Bulls will be wondering how many penalties in a row their opposition needs to give away to get a deserved YC.

Chiefs do well again to dig themselves out of a hole.

Stargazer

MOTM should be Brodie Retallick.

Gunner

@stargazer he was only only Chief on the field wasn’t he?

ShadowTrooper

i'd like to see Aumua at centre to partner ALB, TTT should start, BBBR needs a bit of help though is Bird gone for the season

taniwharugby

useless buggars, I had them to win by 12 😆
