Luatua hit a guy high without the ball, Leitch at least got the ball carrier ....

See regular season is a bit tougher than preseason aye canes boys?

[hydro11]

Chiefs just a bit more composed tonight. Wasn't a bad performance though.

Donald digging for white bait.

Gets it too, with DMac nailing the kick.
Stopping a team in your conference getting a BP is pretty much giving yourself one with how tight the NZ conference has been

[canefan]

Was always going to be a tough ask made tougher by the rain. Enjoy the win guys, we showed enough to suggest these teams might cross paths again in the post season

[Blackeye]

Yep rain play was pretty good - disappointing how nz teams like to play "off the ball rugby" sometimes it seams that is every phase is play the man without the ball

Nisbo showing some Alzheimer's signs tonight. Getting himself really confused.

Its not just tonight. Nisbo has been mixing up players for a few years.

The Highlanders Blues final flashed up on my YouTube yesterday. Nisbo calling Lomu as Vidiri. Comforting stuff.

Oh, and....

BEAVER!!!!

@Nepia
Yes i did, but TJ is probably the most biased commentator going in nz in the so called professional circuit. Nisbo is really starting to remind me of a really passionate Keith Quinn who in the end was just shocking

Where the fark is sumo? Time for Nisbo to leave the comms booth

I dislike them equally for different reasons.

I'd even want that Sumo guy ahead of them both - and he was mean to me once.

[antipodean]

Poor conditions. Poor refereeing and some very poor rugby by the Canes gives the Chiefs a well-deserved win at home.

Those were the days aye bro. Super 12 not Super bang bang wank shit whatever it's called nowadays....

@canefan
Even Murray Mexted could at least be humours when getting stuff wrong - actually i feel for Nisbo its been his job for (i don't know how many) years, he probably enjoy's the environment and is good to get along with. Possibly has quite a high ranking in agmonst his peers and it may be hard for reality to kick in - although sooner or later it will happen

Which had nothing to do with the card, which was given because of contact to the head with force - with his arm.

Leitch hit the guy in the head with his shoulder, with force. Should have been a red card by the new standard, and if Luatua's ban is the standard 4-6 weeks holiday. Let's see how consistent the Judiciary is.

Yeah right.

[hydro11]

I see your logic @Kirwan but I think that just shows how stupid the rule is.

Yeah right.

You reckon hitting someone without the ball shouldn't play a part in these decisions? That's just bollocks.

If the judiciary give him some weeks off then so be it, but I didn't think Luatua should have got as many of his weeks either.

Ahh, stop your moaning it's not even a Blues game.

And everybody knows the most biased commentator is that salty dickhead Grant Fox.

I never said that, nice strawman. The fact is he got a red card because of the new focus on contact to the head.

The one that was ignored for Leitch.
