Chiefs v B&I Lions
-
I was a bit 'meh' at the time of the ballot, but predictably now that the tour has arrived I wish I was there.
Was in the Tron for work this morning before returning to the land of Plenty, and it was one of the few times I've strongly wished I was staying in Hamilton for longer
Quite a few Lions supporters wandering around, including a couple bravely travelling in a campervan with a baby.Reminded me of 12 years ago ahead of the NZ Maori game. I was opening up the changing rooms at Marist to get them ready for the team and a Lions supporter turned up from a nearby campervan, keen to use a shower. He'd had a good night the night before and was looking forward to another one.
Great fun to see all the fans out and about and enjoying themselves. Hoping (though not expecting) the Chiefs ruin the party tonight though

Silly mistakes have cost the Chiefs possesion and territory.

In Hamilton.

I don't think you'll see him bitching & moaning

Lions were miles offside after the Pulu break. That really has not been reffed well this series for either side.
-
That should really be red, late and no arms. Cheap shot.

Yep, Luatua has seen red for fairly similar, just a little bit higher from memory.

Lions came here to give cheapshots, live offside and kill rucks. Disappointing Gats, very disappointing.
-
Best Haka so far.
Question
When Tipuric held the player up and the ref shouted 'Maul' how was it not a penalty to the Lions when the Chiefs player sprinted into the maul taking it down?

Yep, Warrenball at it's dullest.

Word is one of the Scots turned Gatland down when he was asked to join.

@Donsteppa you just see so much of it in their rugby

The mauls that are formed from a tackle are reffed completely differently. I made that point in another thread - seems fine to take those mauls down. No idea why.
