Chiefs v Crusaders

[Bones]

Commentators shocked when the officials actually ref to the laws against the crusaders.

[kev]

If you go back then what about offside for kicking into your own player?

DMac thinks he has to come up with a miracle play every time he gets the ball.
Settle down son.

It's only going to get worse as he tries to even the ledger.

[mariner4life]

That's appalling refereeing

Absolutely nothing clear and obvious about it, and zero need for the TMO to get involved

Fucking rugby Man...

[Donsteppa]

DMac gets away with that some how. Looked like it would have turned into a pretty nothing clearance kick without the falcon.

[Mattasaurus]

wow......that is a home town call... ... must have been .05mm fwd if at all

[KiwiMurph]

Settle down the whinge. A 50/50 went Chiefs way.

Yeah, pretty terrible reffing not to go back for that. The referee even played advantage at the time.

[chimoaus]

Chiefs just struggling a bit for structure and getting into the right part of the field. This is reminding me of the Crusaders Blues game where the Crusades just pressured the opposition into submission.

[Old Samurai Jack]

Dodgy TMO!

[antipodean]

How does a professional referee with his experience constantly get in the way? His positioning is terrible.

Was it fifty fifty though? It looked to clearly drift forward to me.

But you have to go back to kicking it into your own player…

[KiwiMurph]

Moody in danger of missing the RWC squad? He's not the player he was.

[antipodean]

On replay it went forward from his hands, slightly. Not enough to overrule the initial play on call and for mine, certainly not egregious enough to rule out the try already awarded.

Interested to see if or how he adapts.

If he does, it'll show real progress.

[Tim]

Dyer impressive so far.

[KiwiMurph]

Great tackle from McLeod.

I'm starting to see the hype

[kev]

Scott Barrett. Great tackle.

I don't get it. It went forward but it should be ignored because great try?
