SF Chiefs v Brumbies
-
T. Vaa'i yellow about minute 8, nearly 10 minutes in no score.
-
What's Tupou supposed to do there? He's not tackling, he gets the player knocked into him. Not foul play.

Nah. Just got to get lower or pull out of it if you think the other tackler has him.

What’s with kiwi players’ tackling technique
-
That will be red

Disagree - the samisoni hit will save him

well at least his yellow remains a yellow.

That's not normal or expected though - if you're not lining up to make a tackle you don't just randomly drop down. It's not how it's supposed to be refereed.

@KiwiMurph juatbthought how he threw his shoulder with no wrap looked bad...
But unsurprisingly, stays yellow
-
A beauty of a kick

Super rugby’s one thing… get a flouncy French ref in an international and she’s off for an early shower… we need to adjust or it’s going to cost us in big games (costing the Chiefs now!)

Try time

The crowds for the finals have been appalling. I don't know whether this is because the same teams have had home finals the last few years, but it has to be of concern.

I would say stats like Crusaders never having lost a home playoff game and Aus never having won a playoff game in NZ don't help with fan engagement.

You don’t think Vaa’i led in with his shoulder?

He absolutely braced - but you're allowed to brace if a player is colliding with you. You can hit someone high and it not be ruled foul play. As long as Tupou hasn't done anything dangerous or reckless then it isn't supposed to trigger the foul play protocol.

Shit, Ratima should have taken that quick
-
Nice try
-
Excellent Garry Owen by DMac and chase.
Field position gives them try scoring opportunity and bang Narawa in.
