Highlanders vs Chiefs

[Kirwan]

Hahaha, awesome try. Bring on the comeback.

[Nepia]

Looks like it was a 50+ point wind ....

[gt12]

Now that the Landers are catching it, they’re looking much better. Chiefs may need to actually participate at ruck time..

[taniwharugby]

bet the people at that end of the field are stoked!

[Kirwan]

Ahh crap, no try called. Was worth a try, great finish

[Derm McCrum]

Tackling optional on Thompson.?

@siam it's the gloating by blues fans that's a bit weird...

Who’s gloating? I’d be perfectly happy for the Clan to come back.

Just pointing out how utterly average Luke Whitelock is

So average he's yet to lose a test?

What? That makes no sense.

Good.

[Gunner]

50/50 call that one, plenty of those are let go and ruled ‘knocked out’ by the defender.

@derm-mccrum Thinking about cocktails by the pool.

[Nepia]

You have to wonder how Marshall didn't rack up penalty after penalty in his playing days as he clearly doesn't know the laws.

Definitely the 2nd best player in the family. The boy done good.

L Whitelock

Brain worms are the only explanation for picking him ahead of Ioane.

Akira on the line saves two trys last night, Lucky Luke gets a yellow card and lets in a million trys.

It was a pretty marginal yellow though. Looked like it was a knock on in the tackle.

(though I think he was offside anyway, and with all the PK's that might have been enough for a YC)

Nah, he was on his knees and slapped the ball down. Was dumb.

Ball was out of the ruck though I thought. Him being on his knees is neither here nor there. I didn't think he slapped the ball.

Oh well I will just have to wait for the replay (fat chance of me watching that).

I was thinking the same. Ref said deliberate knock on which it wasn't. Marshall was banging on about being on his knees which was irrelevant given he is allowed to tackle from his knees. However he was offside so a fair YC.

[gt12]

Wtf was that Weber?

[Bones]

Walden has stepped up brilliantly in the second half.

[Kirwan]

This like a super rugby game in the 90s.

Nice try, basically a game of touch. Managed to keep the movement going despite Whitelocks shocking pass along the ground.

[Donsteppa]

Now it's the Chiefs looking lethargic and on holiday mode in cover defence.

[Derm McCrum]

Space. Find your man. Space. Find your man. So simple really.

[taniwharugby]

ref let a forward pass go very early in the movement
