Hurricanes v Chiefs

[Stargazer]

Dmac has been awful. Headless chook with terrible game management.

[Tim]

Both teams poor tonight, though Hurricanes putting some heat on at the ruck and from Laumape on defence.

Crusaders would beat both by 30 points.

[Tim]

@stargazer He's done alright given the awful service from Weber.

[Tim]

Hall should be a long way ahead of Weber in the AB stakes.

Weber is typically poor under pressure. Tells in these sorts of games. I remember him having a shocker at the Cake Tin a couple of years ago.

[Stargazer]

@tim He made his mistakes all by himself, particularly that intercepted pass that led to the first try, but that wasn't the only time.

[mariner4life]

Does either 10 look like a test player tonight?

I reckon it makes the game more fun when it's a bit (lot) loose

[Nepia]

Bah Chiefs are playing shit.

How did Jordie Barrett not get penalised for his shoulder on Alaimalo? You can't just fly sideways with your shoulder at a tackler pushing someone over the sideline.

Going over the guidelines, I’m actually not sure wtf the protocols say for that situation - seems like the system is set up for the TMO to assume a try is scored and only look for evidence of it not being scored? So, given that, the decision seems understandable. What a ridiculous system.

Having said that, Hurricanes are playing better - Chiefs are just too inaccurate - and I’m primarily looking at you Weber!

[Stargazer]

I've seen BB been illegally blocked twice; first time by Dmac (not penalised). It's annoying.

Big Bad DMac hurting poor little Bodie Neymar

[Stargazer]

@nepia What the fuck? How is being pushed into touch without the ball Neymar-like?

[Donsteppa]

Anyone know where Stephen Donald is whitebaiting?

[Stargazer]

@donsteppa In Japan.

I'm talking about his dive at the end of the half. I don't remember big bad DMac pushing him into touch.

I assume you were as annoyed when Jordie didn't get penalised for a shoulder on Alaimalo?

[Stargazer]

@nepia I've seen Jordie make more weird tackle attempts tonight.

Are u sure Jackson's on field call was knock on?

He was going to award a try then discussed with you touchie to check for a knock on.

There was no 'soft signal '.

But that in itself reveals how poor union's TMO protocols are.

To be fair, JB is a giraffe and any tackle he makes on the average back midget will look awkward.

[Donsteppa]

50 seconds into the first half and Weber has kicked a short box kick out on the full.

It wasn't a tackle, it was a shoulder to Alaimalo (nearly the same height) who was tackling a Canes player.
