Highlanders v Chiefs

Are these breakdown rules over the top? More whistle than usual in this one.

[Yeetyaah]

@Canes4life feels like it eh

[Stargazer]

I hate these constant penalties. Just not sure whether it's because the players are doing dumb stuff, or the strict application of the rules by the ref.

Jesus Smith. Engage brain.

[KiwiMurph]

Is there enough of a contest at the breakdown? Feels like touch rugby play the balls at times.

[Bones]

Bugger. Cruden coming on.

Never heard of that song. They haven't played Waisake Naholo much though.

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer that's exactly what I was thinking.

Turns out my airbnb doesn't have sky TV, so you bastards need to lift your game with the commentary!

@voodoo missing one hell of a game bro, this is one that will be talked about for years!

[Yeetyaah]

@voodoo basically Koroi is shit and the refs breaking the record for most blows in an hour.

@Yeetyaah and Gats gameplan does not involve ALB

@voodoo Both teams have been arse. Tons of breakdown penalties.

[Donsteppa]

"Referees to enforce the breakdown" is an "innovation"?

[Canes4life]

Perfect opportunity to showcase rugby but this game has been pants. Hopefully we see something special tomorrow.

[voodoo]

Tell you what though, this women's touch game on Te Reo is pretty good! Locked at 4 apiece right now, it's electric!!!

[taniwharugby]

@Canes4life I know we aint here to be fair, but most opening round matches arent too disimilar to this in terms of accuracy and intensity

It is a pretty revolutionary idea though...

His gameplan seems to be based on everyone having had a nice holiday during quarantine.
