Chiefs v B&I Lions

@No-Quarter said in Chiefs v B&I Lions:

That should really be red, late and no arms. Cheap shot.

Yep, Luatua has seen red for fairly similar, just a little bit higher from memory.

[mariner4life]

Lions came here to give cheapshots, live offside and kill rucks. Disappointing Gats, very disappointing.

[MiketheSnow]

Best Haka so far.

Question

When Tipuric held the player up and the ref shouted 'Maul' how was it not a penalty to the Lions when the Chiefs player sprinted into the maul taking it down?

[Stargazer]

That YC was definitely deserved.

Damn, not good seeing Pulu getting injured. Hope it's not too bad.

Yep, Warrenball at it's dullest.

Scots first five Finn Russell will be over the moon.....fresh from winning MOM in the victory over Oz instead of jetting off for a jaunt in Fiji with his teammates he gets rewarded with a seat on the bench with a bunch of Welsh losers no one has even heard of.

In Hamilton.

Rad.

I don't think you'll see him bitching & moaning

Word is one of the Scots turned Gatland down when he was asked to join.

@Donsteppa you just see so much of it in their rugby

The mauls that are formed from a tackle are reffed completely differently. I made that point in another thread - seems fine to take those mauls down. No idea why.

More fool him

[Rapido]

Turning down the 3. We are dumb.

Maul easily sacked. Scrum humiliated.
Even dumber, too arrogant , these chump franchise teams. Can't tell the difference between a Cheetah, Jaguare and a Lion.

[MiketheSnow]

Marler is an idiot.

[Donsteppa]

Not great signs for the Chiefs. Turn down points, scrum gets murdered on opposition ball.

Hika must have really annoyed Rennie...

[Stockcar86]

Polwart throwing to the lineout like he was coached by late career Keven Mealamu

[Derm McCrum]

More infringements. More penalty kicks.

Zzzz

[kiwiinmelb]

Chiefs set piece letting them down big time

[Rapido]

Now try playing catch up against this defence you chumps.

[Donsteppa]

For all Gatland's bleating, the Lions are pretty good at obstructing around the breakdown too...

[Derm McCrum]

Laidlaw's positioning for his box kicks is all wrong
