Chiefs vs Moana Pasifika

@crazy-horse IMO it should be a penalty if it's obvious that it's deliberate and there was no chance whatsover that the player could catch the ball.
There should be a clear deterrent to prevent players from cynically slapping away the ball to prevent the opposition from attacking/scoring. In those cases, I don't mind a yellow.

Agree, but we are not always seeing it reffed that way unfortunately. 50/50s are being penalised.

Yup, penalty
Very much like the clean out on chiefs 8 there, totally from the side, penalty. Ref is blind

It always feels like the referees in the Moana Pasifika games let a lot of technical things slide. Perhaps unconsciously trying to even up things and not create too much of a stop-start affair but it's very noticeable that the officiating standards drop whenever MP are playing.

Are the Chiefs aware the game involves tackling?

Enari one of the best nines in NZ on form
Snap.

Like last night's - only difference is the amount the player has dropped. Easy yellow card.
