Chiefs v Sharks

[gt12]

Oh, ffs McKenzie.

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...

That Luke Jacobson is playing well again.

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

[gt12]

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

[Stargazer]

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:

[hydro11]

Chiefs own fault really. Put themselves under pressure.

[Stargazer]

Strange decision to go for the 3 points. They have a man more on the field. Why not go for the line-out?

Obviously they know their lineout gets bullshit penalties?

They take their opportunities when they get them.

They have to choose who is going to catch Marty's kicks.

Ffs McKenzie.

I need that on auto text.
