Chiefs v Sharks

Lmao I'm in the crowd and there's a few unselected Sharks players by me and when the halfback went down with theatrics, I said oh no he hurt his haircut, Daniel du Preez turned around and said I'll hurt your f***in haircut. Meanless to say he seems like a dick. Or maybe I'm the dick?

Did you reply he couldn't hurt a haemophiliac quadriplegic?

Yeetyaah

@antipodean Yeah I said "What was that mate". Pretty funny really.

Sharks doing what they do well. A good kicking game and putting the Chiefs under pressure.

If the dirty dirties are going to sit in the public stands, they need to roll with it a bit better than that... it's not like they can back fighting words up without losing their contract...

antipodean

That Luke Jacobson is playing well again.

@antipodean

I’m starting to think he’ll get capped at some point if he keeps this up. Work rate and impact.

gt12

Oh, ffs McKenzie.

Donsteppa

MMac back to form...

Chiefs backs seem determine to play half-arsed football whenever the ball goes on ground, rather than either committing to diving on the thing or hoofing it...

I like that he plays like a traditional NZ blindside. The frilly stuff can come from other players ( I know he’s at 8 )

Not much pattern to this Chiefs attack right now, I can’t see how they are getting defenders to make choices in defense.

Geez, I've switched to listening to the ref only. Willie Lose is so annoying.

Edit: now with radio commentary, too

hydro11

Completely off his feet.

Donsteppa

Mixed feelings about Karpik. His heart and work rate is awesome, but at a couple of breakdowns he's hit with the impact of Terry Wright.

gt12

Pretty terrible option though. Karpok was just in the way.

@Donsteppa

good at NPC level.. not so much at SR

Donsteppa

Dive on the loose ball Chiefs!!

antipodean

FFS ref. Sharks player offside and on the ground attempts a tackle right in front of you.

Stargazer

Damn, that yellow could cost the Chiefs.

Donsteppa

On cue, Sharks go through Karpik.

Why is it that everyone except referees can see when the ball carrier loses contact with the maul? :man_shrugging:
