Chiefs v Crusaders

[gt12]

@Chris

Have you ever seen a side more offside around a ruck?

Well done for getting away with it.

I can’t say anything for the Chiefs offence, there is none.

[ACT Crusader]

What a luxury to be able to take one AB off in Goodhue and replace with another AB.

Thanks Foxy.

[Yeetyaah]

@Tim I do bag the coach and the players constantly.

I was just about to say, Goodhue is in a pretty horrible vein of form. That should have been close to a try.

That was backwards out of the hands!

[KiwiMurph]

Is there a reason why Tahuriorangi isn't playing?

[antipodean]

Try moving your feet Cruden. Easier than reaching for the ball

@Bones reckon he'd go well at 13 though?

[Tim]

LOL. Like to see that again.

[Yeetyaah]

Streaker tried to make it onto the pitch but got tackled after about 2m

I'm starting to worry he won't. Way to go saders, kill our best 13 just so you can have superstar Ennor at 13.

[Tim]

Ta'avao not off to a great start.

[Mokey]

If the streaker had run round the Chiefs and slapped each one I'd have paid the fine.

Well we can Moan about a lot of things the chiefs did in the game and got away with its not going to make the ,
Chiefs any better, you can’t have a whine culture and be a champion side
The Crusaders didn’t whine ABout last week just got on with it.
Maybe there is the difference

He just doesn’t look comfortable at 12. He’s still trying to run centre lines and he gets in the way of team mates.

[taniwharugby]

@Bones I think he would be fine if pushed back there, guess part of the issue having rookies outside him past couple of weeks wont help either (realise he's been struggling for more than a couple of weeks)

[Bones]

@ACT-Crusader yeah seems to have lost any vision and therefore ability to distribute decently.

I hope you're right!

@mariner4life same laws of physics apply

Does it though? What's the law for a knock on...I don't recall it being the same wording as a forward pass.

The law says that if a player knocks it forward he has to catch it again before it hits the ground to avoid a knock on. Kicking it or slapping it back is not a valid way of stopping it being a knock on. And in this case even after he tried to slap it back, the ball still travelled forwards.

The refs absolutely bottled a pretty simple decision.

@Bones when have I steered you wrong?
