Chiefs vs Lions

[Machpants]

Awful call by the ref there, McKenzie released, someone else was in the ball. Annoying simple calls like that got incorrect

[Stargazer]

Hmm, not sure whether I agree with that decision. It looked short.

[Donsteppa]

Another week where I thought the TAB was being generous, but this time tipping with the heart looks like being much more dangerous...

[Yeetyaah]

Holy fuck Dyantyi was offside infront if the kicker.

[Duluth]

Who was injured?

[Machpants]

yeah ref been useless, so have the chiefs, not my team can't be arsed watching this shit show

[Donsteppa]

Wainui turns like the Titanic...

A good half a metre, but given his opposite number stumbled over his own feet like a new borne giraffe, let the try stand.

[antipodean]

Half time and the Chiefs look woeful.

At the game and Jack Debreczeni is on the ground right in front of me. Has a neck brace on and about 6 medics around him. The golf cart is out to drive him off the field. Dude hasn't moved since he was tackled.

He has no luck with injuries that man. They’ve just shown a shot of him on the cart being taken off, doesn’t look good...

I hope the Chiefs can turn this round in the second half, but the Lions are a quality outfit.

They have been crap all season. Have got a few players back but Chiefs are playing into their hands. Too many mistakes given how poor their scrum is.

[Stargazer]

Both Lions' tries were a bit dodgy IMO.

With Debreczeni looking like he's suffered a bad injury, the Chiefs stocks for the 10/15 jersey are getting smaller and smaller. Beaver back next week?

@Duluth said in Chiefs vs Lions:

Pretty sure it’s the ABs asked him to swap sides. Ofa and Karl did it earlier in the season

One of the (likely) 5 RWC props will need to cover both sides

Doubtless the explanation, but it's a bit weird. Big Karl and Ofa are already slated as being able to play both sides and most likely both of them make the team.

Along with Moody, Franks and Laulala - or just possibly Hames.

Is Ta'avao playing both sides really going to elevate him from about 7th?

Chiefs missing too many of their talismans, I think. No Retallick, no Cane, no McKenzie.

[KiwiMurph]

Sucks to see the young Lion 10 get injured like that.

[sparky]

Whitley's kick for Dyantyi was an absolute beauty.

[Tim]

Missing from last week's starting XV:

Harris
Retallick
Manu
Alaimalo
McKenzie

[Yeetyaah]

@sparky The kick was good, too bad about the blatant offside.

[antipodean]

Post right next to him and he tries to drive over, gets held up. Chiefs are just playing dumb rugby.
