Ref misses a clear push. Chiefs score try.

Pushing Cantabs is OK.

[Canerbry]

Ball also clearly came off cheating Chief's arm for that try, ref says SIONE 4EVA IN R HARTS

Bad news for Weber. Good news for the Chiefs. Weber can't pass for shit.

What a shit comment.

Eh?

I know you are you said you are but what am I?

[KiwiMurph]

That was a blatant yellow - even a ref as shit as Hoffman got it right.

[Stargazer]

And another injury. Mitchell Graham stretchered off.

Fuck I hate these pre season things

[antipodean]

Oh that's ugly for Graham. No wonder he's on the green whistle.

Two needless injuries for the Chiefs.

[Hooroo]

Hey, it will be primo if we win this and lost half the 15 aside squad.

Arguably our best halfback looks nigh-nighs for the season and now Graham.

Please don't let Laulala on the field if he is in this tens squad

[Dice]

Seu is looking huge now, he use to be such a twig.

[Unco]

Gutted for Weber and Graham. Chiefs seem to have the worst pre-season luck over the last few years.

Fun final otherwise. Saders have some great defence, Chiefs with some great attack and work at the breakdown. Think I'd prefer a Super Sevens tourney though, as it'd be less physical than this.

Not as shit as his passing was.

[KiwiMurph]

That young halfback for the Chiefs (from Counties I think) looks v handy.

[Canerbry]

That was entertaining, there is something about the format that works, still decent breakdown play and covering defense, but plenty of gaps.

Lauaki would have been huge.

[Bovidae]

A heavy price to pay for the title. Well done boys.

So not worth it. This is a Mickey Mouse pre season Jimmy.

Meant nothing

[Stargazer]

The cost of the weekend:
Serious injuries to Fifita, Weber and Graham (don't know about non-Kiwi players).
And unknown, less serious injuries to other players. I remember Bateman going off with a back injury, but there were more.

Obviously, these injuries could also have occurred during training and "normal" preseason games, so it's unrealistic to blame the tournament format. I just don't think playing under the hot circumstances is a good idea. Normal preseason games are usually played in the evening when it's cooler.
