Chiefs v Force

@ARHS said in Chiefs v Force:

Pleased for Josh but surprised at such rapid elevation.

Has he even played for BOP yet? It will be a big step up from club rugby/U20s, particularly for a prop at scrumtime.

@Stargazer Tuputupu also played for the Canes.

Ah, yes, totally forgot about him! That was definitely a case of other (about 7 or 8 ) hookers being unavailable!

Yes, against Ta$man last year

[Bovidae]

Ah, OK. That was the game in which both teams rested a lot of their top players.

[Stargazer]

A few changes to the Chiefs' line-up:

[Machpants]

Chiefs are looking pretty average

After an awesome kick Chase fucks a certain try by being greedy

[Duluth]

How can TJ, who’s paid plenty of money to be an expert, not understand when a deliberate knock down is a YC?

His incompetence is then repeated by fans

[Damo]

That second one looked like a YC. Ref didn't even notice it??

[Nogusta]

Bombed that one Tiatia!

[barky1]

@Duluth
And Justin Marshall

[gt12]

Fucking hell Tiatia, I had just starting coming around to having you in the team.

[Damo]

I think this is going to get ugly for the Force.

[Machpants]

Byron road bump Ralston

[gt12]

That was a nice line, he had some work to do.

Refs hardly ever give YCs for deliberate knock downs for the last two years now.

Cane looks bad

He has had a lot of bad luck with injuries. I hope this isn't too serious. Looks bad but at least he's up now.

And off, ACL, MCL?

[Machpants]

Jesus the kicking is shit in this game

[Crucial]

Canes injury was from an illegal entry and a lower limb clean out (new law clampdown). Silence from the refs.
