That last pass is forward surely?

Live I thought it was marginal. Was going to post, then the only replay was totally inconclusive so I thought better of it. Most of my posts these days are about ref decisions, which is a bit of a concern.

Glad I wasn't the only one who thought the pass was dodgy though.

Whatever the Chiefs are taking to keep themselves in tough games, make sure they leave enough for the ABs in RWC2019

[Machpants]

So those who know, how close are these conditions to Japan RWC time? Cos ourvplayers look like they need a fair bit to acclimatise

[Steven Harris]

@Yeetyaah totally agree..official is so inconsistent at Breakdown ..seems to be allowing the Saders time holding the ball on the ground but not affording the same luxury to the chiefs

[Machpants]

@Steven-Harris lol ref had been fine, not perfect, but not favouring any team

[Donsteppa]

Still highly entertaining, but much tighter on D this half.

Great to see front rowers running in open field!

Great work by Goodhue.

[Steven Harris]

What’s concerning to me we are watching a full strength Crusaders team laden with All Blacks..and they being run ragged against an under strength Chiefs team...

So much open field!

@Steven-Harris Chiefs team stronger tonight no doubt,

[Yeetyaah]

Tabai Matson is fuming. Jackson was the AR so Chiefs had no chance.

Was that a front rower, I thought someone had rolled a barrel of kava onto the field at a great rate of knots.

[Yeetyaah]

Goodhue in from the side.

@Steven-Harris I'd say the Crusaders have an eye on the final and the WC for the ABs.

[antipodean]

I had the same question as Cane. Couldn't believe the TMO and ref missed it.

[Steven Harris]

@Yeetyaah totally agree..that’s what I mean about the officiating the Saders are getting the run of the green..luckily Funnell bowling outswingers

[Yeetyaah]

Brain fade by Alaimalo to play that on the ground.

[Steven Harris]

Just seen Alaimalo penalised rightly so for playing the ball on the ground ,question how come Ennor who did the same thing does not get penalised...if that’s not getting the run of the green I don’t know what is..!

@antipodean doesnt the Ref have to actually ask him to check other things, or more in what he asks, given he only asked him to rule on a knock on (I know some TMO's take it upon themselves to go outside thier perview)
