QF - Chiefs v Reds

[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.

Chiefs should ring the changes

Think they've only got one or two left?

[Horatio]

@Damo so.. you agree?

I don't agree with keeping on going on and on about a marginal call an hour ago that could have gone either way.

[Horatio]

@Damo I was comparing it to the call just made to illustrate the inconsistent nature of the laws of rugby and to highlight how absurd the intercept rule is.

Then what the hell are you doing on the Fern?

Players know the rules. Don't stick your hand out.

I don't think it's absurd at all. He stuck a hand out when he was in a compromised poor position with an overlap. Clear YC. No dramas.

A penalty would have been entirely adequate there. Make it less codified and let experienced refs interpret based on feel for game.

Just start dropping a player every 5 minutes
