Chiefs vs Jaguares

[Donsteppa]

Nankivell joins the ranks of turnstile backs tonight but the Chiefs recover and clear it.

[Donsteppa]

NGATAI!!!

That was almost a “14 pointer”...

[Donsteppa]

.... loved the defensive bomb!

[Hooroo]

I thought in real time it looked forward

[Donsteppa]

And TMO as always...

[Gunner]

Jeez, I’m not convinced that the knock on was clear and obvious enough to over turn the try

[Stargazer]

@gunner IMO it was. The palm of his hand was forward, so could never knock it backward.

I agree. I real time I thought forward but on replay not so obvious.

Chiefs don’t deserve shit though to be fair.

[Donsteppa]

@stargazer could still knock it downwards or even slightly backwards depending on momentum etc.

Thought it was 50/50 when I first saw it live. Once the TMO was involved it was always trouble though.

Yep, one of those nights when the Chiefs don’t earn or deserve the 50/50 moments.

[Hooroo]

Great composure from the young debutant not to react. Says a lot about him as he would be pumped up

[ShadowTrooper]

I do like the look of Parete though

[Machpants]

Both teams have forgotten how wide the field is. Jags against thirteen, don't go wide. Then chiefs, who also don't take the three, try to go up the middle where jags have been great all game. Both sides utterly lacking rugby intelligence

Yep, gutted he’s now showing up as Taranaki rather than BoP.

[antipodean]

I reckon that penalty was harsh - looked like the ball was well out when Messam went forward.

[Gunner]

This has been a Blues like performance from the Chiefs.
I suppose you get that when half the team is only NPC quality.

Possible - I was watching the ball more.

What position does he play?

[Donsteppa]

Reckon Colin Cooper got this one wrong with Retallick: once Cane and Boshier were out it was time to play Retallick for 80 against this pack.

Rather than use him for just 20 minutes and have it not count as one of his games out for the AB’s.
