Chiefs 2021
-
22-year-old Tupaea has re-signed with the Gallagher Chiefs and his Waikato provincial union through to 2023.
@stargazer great to hear. Feels like someone who loves being a Chief and he's one of my favourite up and comers so stoked to have him stick around.
-
@kiwimurph So as expected. At least there's consistency with decisions in similar cases.
-
The Chiefs were already fucked, so him having a little rest might be good for the ABs.
Three weeks, for that, seems heavy to me though.

It is the standard now and I agree that it needs to be there to try and change mindsets.
However, when one player gets 3 weeks yet another doesn't even get cited for a swinging high shot that connects flush on the chin it does look harsh.
I get why the ref missed it but the post game review should have easily cited that one. -

Trask will now get more time in the no.10 jersey I assume. Who played at fullback in the 2nd half? Tiatia or Stevenson? I didn't see the game.

I take it he hasn't been cited?

Not that I've heard. It may have been looked at but dismissed as a YC only which doesn't seem in line with the DMac call.

Judging from their Instagram, it seems the Chiefs have remained in Australia. Maybe it seems more likely that the game will be played in Australia.
-
Mils made some good points on the breakdown - how does Reece’s much more intentional hit get yellow but Dmac gets Red (and 3 weeks!) and that’s not even considering the Toomua shot.
@gt12 because Reece plays for the Crusaders.

Not sure on the Toomua one as I've only seen it once. But isn't there a few difference's between Sevu's and DMacs?
Sevu was making a tackle that started below the head on the ball carrier and then travelled up to contact with the head.
DMac ran in to shoulder charge/body check a player without the ball and clocked him clean in the face with his shoulder.
Sevu could always argue he was trying to make a tackle and a rugby incident occurred. DMac can only argue he was trying to take the Reds player out and accidentally hit his face, rather than his body.
