Chiefs v B&I Lions

[mariner4life]

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

[No Quarter]

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?

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.

Scots first five Finn Russell will be over the moon.....fresh from winning MOM in the victory over Oz instead of jetting off for a jaunt in Fiji with his teammates he gets rewarded with a seat on the bench with a bunch of Welsh losers no one has even heard of.

In Hamilton.

Rad.

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

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

More fool him

[Rapido]

Turning down the 3. We are dumb.

Maul easily sacked. Scrum humiliated.
Even dumber, too arrogant , these chump franchise teams. Can't tell the difference between a Cheetah, Jaguare and a Lion.

[MiketheSnow]

Marler is an idiot.

[Donsteppa]

Not great signs for the Chiefs. Turn down points, scrum gets murdered on opposition ball.

Hika must have really annoyed Rennie...

[Stockcar86]

Polwart throwing to the lineout like he was coached by late career Keven Mealamu

[Derm McCrum]

More infringements. More penalty kicks.

Zzzz

[kiwiinmelb]

Chiefs set piece letting them down big time

[Rapido]

Now try playing catch up against this defence you chumps.

[Donsteppa]

For all Gatland's bleating, the Lions are pretty good at obstructing around the breakdown too...

[Derm McCrum]

Laidlaw's positioning for his box kicks is all wrong

Have to assume they don't care about the W and are just there to play a BaaBaa style game. Shame.

Lions came here to give cheapshots, live offside and kill rucks. Disappointing Gats, very disappointing.

What nonsense.

Marler transgressed, not the Lions. And he has form.

Every team has been living offside in this series. It's a refereeing problem.

The rucks are always a lottery, especially when interpretation is involved.

[mariner4life]

@MiketheSnow dude, you've been here long enough to know better than biting on that. Tongue in cheek response to Gatlands whinging this week.

[MiketheSnow]

Laidlaw will be lucky to feature after this match. His service makes Phillips look fast

[Derm McCrum]

Scrum-half - check
Yappy - check
Red hair - check
Must be Scottish - check

These project players... tsk, tsk.

[Stargazer]

Don't halfbacks yell at their forwards in France? I think the French ref in the Crusaders game responded the same way to Hall screaming at his pack.
