Blues v Chiefs

[KiwiMurph]

Tupou has looked a lot better than Preston but i'm not sure whether thats Tupou playing well or that Preston was so bad.

Blues might have the lead but Chiefs with the second half wind will back themselves.

@crucial I'd suggest the technique was perfect. Had he been tackling someone who weighed +80kg, he would've wrapped his arms.

@bovidae Not many players looking like ABs out there!

Akira does, which is pretty good news.

That's like saying it isn't a high shot because the player was short.

[pukunui]

If that Duffie tackle is a penalty im turning off and cancelling my sky subscription.

The Ioane penalty was the typical farce we have come to expect.

[gt12]

Great defense.

I thought we were there earlier. Seu blew it

[taniwharugby]

how was that not over the line??

[gt12]

Falcon runs for the first time and looks dangerous.

[Stargazer]

I love how Falcon is playing tonight. 20 years old. First SR game.

No, really it's not. There's nothing in the laws that supports your assertion. The tackle wasn't a shoulder charge, nor was it high.

I wondered that too.

Looked very Crudenesque there the way he bolted through that gap.

[antipodean]

Obvious knock on missed again

[Tim]

Pulu is dreadful.

[gt12]

Akira good again there.

[hydro11]

Chiefs have muscled up in this half.

[taniwharugby]

not straight was before the high tackle

[gt12]

Too easy, good drive and Chiefs get the lead.

[taniwharugby]

self doubt gonna start creeping in now...?

[KiwiMurph]

Tana should be fired.
