QF - Chiefs v Reds

[NTA]

Nonngor on. Scrum about to implode

@Horatio said in QF - Chiefs v Reds:

@KiwiMurph Aus teams are 0/16 in NZ during finals so basically anything short of a top 2 finish guarantees an NZ series win. Anything short of a top 4 finish guarantees a quarter final exit.

I hear you. I guess my point is that this Reds I think can improve. They've shown they can foot it with nz teams during regular season. Now they need to take the next step.

[pakman]

Chiefs backline defence seems leakier since changes.

Wouldn't be opposed to a back three selection of:

Clarke, Narawa, Tele'a, Nanai-Seturo, Love

So you’re leaving out the best wing in the comp?

Fark me go circle jerk in the Canes thread. Up the Rebels.

I was talking about Sevu Reece, a Crusader…

Nah mate, he's off to the Canes next year. Source: I dreamed it

Pick any of your top 3 in any position, Razor.

Wallabies won't get within 20

I'm interested in tier 1 opposition

Finau seems to have adding jackaling to first five extermination.

You won't get it here

[Mr Fish]

Looks like Poihipi has moved into 10.

[Horatio]

Maybe.. doesn't make for a watchable finals series now though, sadly.

[Machpants]

alb with another (almost) intercept

[KiwiMurph]

Perofeta got carded vs Crusaders Hunter should be too

[NTA]

Lol here we go.

Penalty try yellow card

[Horatio]

Yellow card for a missed intercept but not for a dangerous tackle with (possible) head contact is peak rugby.

[pakman]

This yellow card protocol is pants.

It does if they improve

You do go on a bit.

If it wasn't head contact the argument how it had to be a YC is diminished. I agree that it ought to have been a card but it was not as straightforward as you are suggesting.

At least it's very straightforward, which isn't the case for pretty much any of the other laws/protocols.
