TJ manages to channel his rage into a superhuman reach for the line

Despite the Chiefs yelling at the referee, they never affected the tackle on Perenara.

Chiefs scramble defence is excellent

Yup very crusaderish with amount of penalties they're giving away in their own 22 this year. But you cant argue with the results

Couple of interesting calls - didn't look like the Chiefs backs were actually offside for the DMac kick on the replay and what's the tackle rule? TJ had a knee on the ground, is that considered a tackle?

I wonder what the current try scoring record for half backs is in super rugby.

You can say what you want about TJP, but that was an excellent try!

He's a very good player but plays so much better with a clear head. He gets too wound up for my liking and the Chiefs have shown that you can easily put him off his main game

Have to watch the replay but didn't look like it to me.

I'm unsure of the rule, but I'd have thought when TJs hands hit the ground, while held would constitute a tackle?

Great strength showed by him to come.back after the initial hit.

His pronounciation of Oh-tere Black drives me nuts.

If this wasn't so action packed I'd rewind and watch it again.

Nah. It's knee. Can't see from the replay if his knee touched the ground but if it did then its a no try.

Nepia

How'd that fool miss the forward pass?

Haha - game - I've only just logged on so haven't made my way back through the thread yet.

Hurricanes immediately look better once tjp starts playing rugby.

Whether you like DMacs play or not you have to admit he's a brave little fucker. No qualms diving on a ball amongst flying forwards.

Doesn't have much of a face to protect to be fair.

Its not just tonight. Nisbo has been mixing up players for a few years.
