Chiefs vs Hurricanes

@chimoaus He better keep an eye on his twitter then...

[chimoaus]

Appears to be a little bit wet.

@Tim said in Chiefs vs Hurricanes:

Isn't a yellow card a bit harsh when there was no contact on the Fatialofa shoulder charge?

He made contact. What do you want? A head taken off?

I do hope that yellow card use is consistent tonight.

YC was fair. Not sure it was Ardie that should have copped it though.

Meanwhile another YC. This one for a no arms shot.

BBBR had a fair bit to do with the collapsed maul that led to the YC. He's well practised in the dark arts of forward play now.

[Crucial]

Nisbo showing some Alzheimer's signs tonight. Getting himself really confused.

[Tim]

@Crucial He brushed over his back. Not his head or shoulders. A penalty should suffice.

[chimoaus]

Is this a props wet dream?

[Gunner]

@Tim asking for trouble though when you don't use your arms.

[No Quarter]

Umm why is that not a YC for the late shoulder? Consistency please.

[Tim]

@Gunner Oh it was certainly stupid to shoulder charge. He put himself in the frame for a card.

It's a bit like that quandary of what to do if you see a player throw a deliberate haymaker that fails to connect well.
There's no doubt that the action is illegal even if the consequences aren't as bad as they could have been

[No Quarter]

That's some hometown bullshit right there.

Jackson isn't reffing.

[Sapetyvi]

@Tim Certainly now seems, as Birds charge didn't even warrant a look

[Tim]

That's fucked if that's not a card tonight.

What's happened?
I've flicked over to see what the Warriors are up to. TMO checking on a possible Warriors try.

Your thoughts on the late shoulder charge from Bird on TJP?

[Crucial]

No doubts that the Chiefs are contributing a lot to the niggle but the difference is probably that they are doing it quietly while the ref has TJP jabbering in his ear and probably annoying the fuck out of him

[chimoaus]

Try Chiefs, I think Barlow is winning the 9 battle.

[Gunner]

Pulu scores in the corner to finish the half.
Going up stairs but I don't see a problem.
