thought you could only go back 2 rucks at most to look for infringements. there was clear 3 rucks.

Well not sure you can have a ruck if it's from an offside play...😬

[Kiwiwomble]

@Bones that’s fair, I’d be happy for collins to swap in for a bit

[Yeetyaah]

I've never felt this angry after any rugby game loss before. Fuck Gatland and fuck the useless forward subs that came on.

So, turned out to be a good game to have missed then...

We were hammering them.

And then we lost.

Cane asked that I think, said it was “all one long play” or words to that effect , not sure now

[Chris]

Great game , Chiefs really how the fuck did you lose that
Smith what an absolute legend inspirational performance and Frizzell very impresive

[ploughboy]

@Kiwiwomble pity one long phase isnt in the rule book.

Not arguing, just what I thought I heard the ref say and I don’t know the letter of the law with that stuff

Off today's showing, definitely. His decision making and execution was sublime once he had less time....

Going off selection so far though I'm inclined to think we'll see McKay to 12 and Tomkinson shuffled out one.

I could see that, I like what McKay did with space though

Prexactly. He must be stopped.

Just watched the first half again. Frizzel's workrate absolutely through the roof and a lot of really good involvements.

DHunt with some excellent tidy up work.

Them, Smith and Dixon probably saved us a few blushes in the first half.

[Yeetyaah]

Alright fuck I've chilled out a bit. So here my 2 cents.

Good:
Slater was incredible, needs to be starting every game.
Cane was great, apart from his card.
Mckenzie was good, didn't do anything overly stupid.
ALB looked great even at 13.

Bad:
All of the replacement forwards.
Warren Gatland.

Extra:
Aaron Smith was incredible.
The McKenzie try should have been allowed.

Extremely disappointed in the Chiefs for losing that as it looked great, but hats off to the Highlanders for playing with that much heart.

[Kiwiwomble]

@Yeetyaah You just mean it should have been allowed because they shouldn’t have looked back that far ?

[Bones]

That was a weird moment (highlighted by Marshall) when Laulala was allowed to get away with stopping Smith immediately after he took a quick tap.

[Yeetyaah]

@Kiwiwomble the call was offside even though the ball was ruled knocked back.

Yeah, I know the call, I was just trying to see why you thought the try should have stood?

[Yeetyaah]

@Kiwiwomble wasn't offside
