Crusaders vs Chiefs

[gt12]

Cane and Boshier doing heaps out there. Brodie throwing himself about too. We’ll run out of gas.

Having said that, the Saders just brought on King, so there’s a class problem in both teams.

[Tim]

Weber is the second best halfback so far this weekend.

[gt12]

Fuck Fa’auli (sp.?) is useless. What’s his run meters? Put ALB at 12 and find a 13...

TNW time

Shoulder charge v swinging arm? The only thing that saved him was the refs call on tackled player ducking

Higgers tackled him high and kept a neck roll to pull him to the ground. That's equal to the swinging arm.

I wouldn't have given Higgenbotham a red either - just a yellow and a lengthy ban.

Isn't head contact insta-red? Reckon higgers would have gone without the head roll, that was just him putting the icing on the cake

[Tim]

Nice work from 12 and 13. Good try.

[gt12]

Good try, whitelock had plenty to do.

[Steven Harris]

Chiefs hanging in there,but I suspect the saders still have enough to close this game out

Cane, what a fucking tackle.

One of the few things you can pre-type and know it will be relevant.

[gt12]

26-23 and the chiefs are hanging in there.

[gt12]

That was some stupid shit from Ta’avau.

[hydro11]

Four of the best locks in the country and two good hookers but the lineouts have been terrible.

[hydro11]

If Alaatoa is a red because ducking doesn't matter - that has to be a Yellow card and penalty try.

[hydro11]

If defender isn't there it is a try - clear penalty try.

[gt12]

That will have to be 10 I guess?

[Tim]

Penalty try?

[Nepia]

That opens up nearly every tackle on the line for a penalty try now.

[gt12]

Wow.

Ok, but I’m not so sure that I like watching rugby anymore.

[antipodean]

Moral of the story; dive low at the line.

[Gunner]

These head high rules are fucking the game.

Initial contact was with the shoulder, the player was going low to score a try, how the fuck else do you tackle him?

[mariner4life]

Go fuck yourself. That's deplorable. Rugby is dead.
