Chiefs vs Hurricanes

Bird should have got a card given the precedent set.

No doubts that the Chiefs are contributing a lot to the niggle but the difference is probably that they are doing it quietly while the ref has TJP jabbering in his ear and probably annoying the fuck out of him

You are taking the piss now.

About which part? That the Chiefs are niggling or that TJP is being a gobby little dick?

That's some hometown bullshit right there.

Jackson isn't reffing.

Your thoughts on the late shoulder charge from Bird on TJP?

I actually missed it. Getting ready for work. Will rewind in a moment

Fair enough. Funny thing is the ref saw it and his response was to give both captains a "talking too" about the niggle. Crazy referring after the YCs he'd been dishing out.

[chimoaus]

Chiefs have looked better to be fair, McKenzie's kicking has seemed better than Barrett. TJ has struggled with poor ball and has been throwing potatoes at Barrett.

I think Nehe has looked solid at the back. BBBR playing well.

[KiwiMurph]

Yeah it seems crazy that the TMO couldnt interject on the bird shoulder.

TKB absolutely dominating Perenara so far. I must say DMac has been very impressive in the wet so far.

No doubt. Fatialofa gets one for no arms and then a no arm tackle off the ball isn't even a penalty. Absolute joke.

I'm assuming if the ref didn't see it the call is the TMO? Can the on field ref overule the TMO from the replay?

[hydro11]

Our kicking game has been shocking. Pernara and Barrett have both been poor and our outside backs have been completely out of position. Have to be a lot better in the second half.

[Blackeye]

Fatialofa = deservered
the other hurricane head high = should have been yellow
bird = yellow -late, no arms
savea = no idea didn't see a replay that showed it

how long before dane coles does something he'll regret my guess is 15 mins into the second half

Ref said the TMO saw it and said it was nothing. Which is a joke. The TMO should have seen the ruling on the Fatialofa incident and reffed it consistently.

[Winger]

This rain is ruining the game unfortunately. Its a bit like the fog final its that bad

And I don't mind yellow cards. But how about consistency. Or do they only apply to one side. Dirt by the Chiefs is allowed it seems whereas slipping by Canes players due to the rain isn't

There is no way that other head high was a yellow. If that was a yellow then every single high tackle is a yellow.

TKB has been very impressive. We are pretty spoilt at HB at the moment.

Fatialofa's one was an aggressive charge with no arms in the direction of the head. It carried high danger and affected play.
Bird's one was an after the ball shoulder check that carried little danger and had no effect on play.
Should have at least been a penalty and a strong warning to cut out the niggle. For consistency though I wouldn't argue that a YC was unwarranted.

[Blackeye]

Oh the off the ball play will be leaving Highlanders very impressed

[Blackeye]

@hydro11
well i dont follow world rugby rules to a tee but i thought (other than they are idiots) that it was now the way to ref

[Winger]

@Crucial

Bird was clearly a yellow.

Sorry Crucial but that's nonsense. Bird's shoulder charge was late when the player was not bracing for impact and had the potential to break ribs. TJP was down for some time afterwards. 100% the wrong call from the ref.

I'm pretty sure danger isn't in the laws. A no arms tackle is just a yellow, especially if late.

I assume maybe crucial is taking the piss
