Chiefs 2021
-
22-year-old Tupaea has re-signed with the Gallagher Chiefs and his Waikato provincial union through to 2023.
@stargazer great to hear. Feels like someone who loves being a Chief and he's one of my favourite up and comers so stoked to have him stick around.
-
@kiwimurph So as expected. At least there's consistency with decisions in similar cases.
-
The Chiefs were already fucked, so him having a little rest might be good for the ABs.
Three weeks, for that, seems heavy to me though.

It is the standard now and I agree that it needs to be there to try and change mindsets.
However, when one player gets 3 weeks yet another doesn't even get cited for a swinging high shot that connects flush on the chin it does look harsh.
I get why the ref missed it but the post game review should have easily cited that one. -

Trask will now get more time in the no.10 jersey I assume. Who played at fullback in the 2nd half? Tiatia or Stevenson? I didn't see the game.

I take it he hasn't been cited?

Not that I've heard. It may have been looked at but dismissed as a YC only which doesn't seem in line with the DMac call.
-
Judging from their Instagram, it seems the Chiefs have remained in Australia. Maybe it seems more likely that the game will be played in Australia.
-
Mils made some good points on the breakdown - how does Reece’s much more intentional hit get yellow but Dmac gets Red (and 3 weeks!) and that’s not even considering the Toomua shot.
@gt12 because Reece plays for the Crusaders.

Not sure on the Toomua one as I've only seen it once. But isn't there a few difference's between Sevu's and DMacs?
Sevu was making a tackle that started below the head on the ball carrier and then travelled up to contact with the head.
DMac ran in to shoulder charge/body check a player without the ball and clocked him clean in the face with his shoulder.
Sevu could always argue he was trying to make a tackle and a rugby incident occurred. DMac can only argue he was trying to take the Reds player out and accidentally hit his face, rather than his body.
