Two tackles off the ball in that play. Hope NMS is okay.

Blackeye

that penalty is bull shit though, plenty of other off the ball play to pick from

Going back to 2015 NMS had a lot of leg trouble. Hopefully not as bad as it looks.

We look like a team that's played two weeks of flag footie. Sure it's raining but nothing is sticking right now

It was material. The Chiefs prop took out Barrett and Lowe got the turn over. If lowe didn't turn the ball over it would be immaterial and no penalty needed. Barrett could have cleaned out Lowe had he not been taken out.

Hope so too.
The niggle is an obvious tactic going into the game. They have had two hard physical local games and the Canes are soft and not ready for it.

Chiefs forwards seem to have a bit more mongrel. Bird and BBBR are a very impressive combo.

Blackeye

Well i was wrong, more than 15 mins into the second half and coles hasn't done anything stupid

Yep. When BBBR is in agro mode then you know he's going to have a big game.
The opposite to TJP.

Doesn't look as easy when not playing the Sunpuppies or the Rabble

I'm in shock. I was certain we were going to put 70 points on this Chiefs rabble. What the hell is going on?

WHAT THE FUCK!!! The 9 joined the ruck!

canefan

Chiefs scramble defence is excellent

No Quarter

Fuck TJP nearly butchered that.

Stargazer

You can say what you want about TJP, but that was an excellent try!

Stargazer

@No-Quarter No, he didn't.

TJ manages to channel his rage into a superhuman reach for the line

Despite the Chiefs yelling at the referee, they never affected the tackle on Perenara.

Yup very crusaderish with amount of penalties they're giving away in their own 22 this year. But you cant argue with the results

Nepia

Couple of interesting calls - didn't look like the Chiefs backs were actually offside for the DMac kick on the replay and what's the tackle rule? TJ had a knee on the ground, is that considered a tackle?

chimoaus

I wonder what the current try scoring record for half backs is in super rugby.
