Chiefs vs Bulls

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

Another example of great coaching...

Stargazer

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