Chiefs v Hurricanes

[Yeetyaah]

7 minutes of overtime for nothing. Canes defending well.

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah Just let someone call the line-out, like every other team does.

[Kirwan]

Chiefs screwed that up big time.

[Stargazer]

HT: Chiefs 10 - 14 Hurricanes

[Hooroo]

Am I seeing things or is the crowd quite reasonable for a chiefs game??

[Steven Harris]

Fun watch this ..Canes will have to watch their discipline..Anybody’s game ,really enjoying Pypers officiating

[Stargazer]

@Hooroo I think you're right. Quite a good crowd there.

I’ve been watching the cricket until the end of the Oz innings so thought I was seeing things

[canefan]

Jordie looks like he had a good first half. Getting involved

@Yeetyaah It's in a halfback's job description.

Also, if two Canes players do it often, that doesn't make that a "classic Canes" thing. It makes it a "classic Coles" or "classic TJP" thing.

What is the cutoff for individual bleating before it becomes a team characteristic? Had a flanker and a halfback so far tonight, and only a matter of time for Coles.

The problem is when it goes from selected queries at specific moments to a running inquisition throughout the match. When that happens, it goes from an honest enquiry to being a complete distraction from the main task at hand. This is TJ’s fundamental problem not just as a captain but as a footballer in general - he gets too easily distracted and wound up far too often. It’s no surprise that his half back play has turned to shit and the rest of the team are engaging in futile arguments with the refs under his captaincy.

So after all that hard work from the Chiefs forwards, the backs reward them by panicking and hurling the ball in the general direction of the winger.

[Yeetyaah]

How the fuck was that not taken without the ball?

he juggled = fair game I think

[Stargazer]

Disagree with that decision. Should have been a try to Jordie.

genuinely don't know what the rulebook says about that

[Stockcar86]

Jaco is just making this shit up

[hydro11]

Surely that's a try! Damien's hand comes off the ball and it is in Jordie's possession.

[Stargazer]

@hydro11 Yep, and even if Dmac still had his hand on the ball; it was Jordie who had control.

[Hooroo]

What is up with the Hurricanes away strip? It’s like we’re playing the fucking blues

[Stargazer]

And then Jordie does something dumb and the Chiefs almost score.
