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.

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.

[Nogusta]

@Machpants cheap shots at the knees like that should be red carded and thrown the book at. The Force player literally entered from Chiefs side of the ruck and ol ref missed it

That's what I thought too, but is it only lifting?

Edit "‘A player may lever the jackler out of the contest at the ruck but must not drop their weight onto them or target the lower limbs."
