@Winger North Harbour.

Thanks. For me it was very clearly a try. I can understand refs getting it wrong but video refs there is no excuse

[Winger]

@taniwharugby

didn't it go backwards. Ill have to watch again

[taniwharugby]

@Winger didnt think it went anywhere, just a little fumble

[taniwharugby]

Chiefs looking good, but a couple of patches they did look a little fatigued, despite having the ball, may have been wrong given they have looked good otherwise.

Crusaders need to get the ball

another forward pass missed there, but Crusaders get a penalty.

Love the Chiefs' ambition, but boy do they throw a lot of 40:60 passes!
TKB getting distance on his passes, but half the time Crudes has to reach over his head to collect, and tempo slowed.

@taniwharugby
watched it again. It clearly went backwards. also watched the Chiefs try again. chiefs fans could be feeling rightly pissed off

[Canerbry]

Try not given was justice for two forward passes missed by Waikato's Glen Jackson in the movement.

Crusaders been very patient, Chiefs spent a lot of time slowly going backwards, will run out off puff with trip across the Indian Ocean and wet track.

@Winger dunno, I think there was seperation, therefore no try, but think it was wrong that the TMO stepped in when he wasnt asked.

For me TNW had skin contact with ball all the way to ground, so try. And I didn't think fumble at end of half went forward. So 6-10 seems tough on Chiefs.

Great scrambling by Saders.

Second will be a case of tackle fatigue versus travel fatigue. A try early in second might be enough to swing it...

Only balance to that is that Lowe should have gone to the bin.

[taniwharugby]

shame we didnt see this from Cruden a few weeks back

[Gunner]

I have zero emotional attachment to this game, but that ruling infuriates me.

We are consistently led to believe that not rolling away is a penalty, regardless if it is intentional, or the defending player has 17 guys lying on top of him at the tackle...

Just don't get it when on the odd occasion a ref rules a scrum because it was 'unplayable'....

[Donsteppa]

James Lowe... FFS

[KiwiMurph]

@Gunner Yep there is no consistency with that ruling.

[KiwiMurph]

And that is why James Lowe was never an All Black...

[taniwharugby]

@Donsteppa wtf....I am 30 sec behind you

[hydro11]

James Lowe has a great left boot but his right boot has been a big liability.

[Canerbry]

Bahahaha. That was insane.

[mimic]

I'm sorry, but that was a knock on.
That went back into Lowe, which meant that it was propelled forward by the Cantab

Oh is that why? I always thought it was because he had a fucking terrible hair cut.
