Chiefs vs Blues
-
after that try when the Chiefs winger ran over top of Caleb Clarke I thought it was a bit rough he was allowed to stand outside the circle while everyone was regathering, its times like that, particularly with a young fella you bring him in and pick him up rather than leave him outside so he feels even worse for missing the tackle...am sure it wasnt deliberate or anything, just something I noticed.
-
@taniwharugby I think he was regathering himself. He got rocked from that tackle attempt and seemed a bit dazed.
@Dice realise that, but someone shoulda still pulled him in...probably shoulda had an HIA too.

Update from Nigel Yalden re DMac.
"starting to hear whispers that he’s gone for the season - ACL done supposedly"
"rumours only mate but good sources"
-
@akan004 Bloody awful for the lad. Does "season" include the RWC?
PS: I hope those sources are wrong.
@Stargazer Not sure but I would think so. Normally it's a 6-9 month injury.
Yeah, let's hope it's wrong, but Nigel's sources are usually pretty accurate.
-
Gee that is hard luck for the Chiefs and the All Blacks. Not that keen on him at 10 but coming on at fullback in Tests with 20 odd to go he has been pretty handy.
@Unite He is easily the biggest Chiefs weapon, was in bloody great touch aswell. Hopefully this injury doesn't cause him too much trouble going forward and I hope he recovers in time for the WC. Perfect impact player for us off the bench.

Noooooooooo!
Just when he was getting a decent run at fullback & doing a great job too.
Agreed. He looked as good as ever once he had more room and could choose when to inject himself.

Deep down you know you don’t
Jordie’s stock has now risen from making up the numbers in that 41 to a genuine chance to make the 31

@ACT-Crusader nah I'd prefer McKenzie as a fullback replacement. He is deadly against tired defences.
I have always stood by my view that Jordie is a 12 - he isn't bad in other positions but not enough to warrant selection over McKenzie.
-
They need to train these security guards better. I can understand the desire to keep your gaze up, but you need to be focusing on the runners core to determine which way he is going to go
-
The security guard fell over on purpose it was obvious
-
@Nogusta Well that's fucked for the young bloke. He was starting to really show some form too at fullback.
