Game of three halves - Blues/Crusaders/Chiefs - 20/02, 12pm

I hope the refs are going hard now on the discipline, but soften a bit during the season. They were killing the game at the start of SRA last season. Particularly those penalties for not rolling away are dubious. Players hardly get time to roll away. Good to see them penalise the offside though, that's annoying stuff players must get right.

Great game from particularly Ruru.

Perofeta injured?

[Yeetyaah]

Slater's throwing looks good.

[Yeetyaah]

Good read from Nock on that breakdown.

Perofeta injured?

He has just replaced Black.

[Yeetyaah]

The entire blues backline were offside after that shambolic kick.

[Yeetyaah]

Bruh, why didn't Weber give the ball

[Stargazer]

Will have to watch these games again, tonight. Having shit internet here, and my phone is just too small for good viewing.

[Tim]

Hodgman late scratching. Lay starting.

[Stargazer]

O'Keefe much more lenient than the ref in the previous game.

[Tim]

@stargazer Lot of attacking players going off their feet in this half.

[Yeetyaah]

Geez been a long off-season for Weber, he's looking pretty shit.

[Tim]

Some brutal collisions out there. Big tackle and turnover from Papalii earlier.

[Stargazer]

Laulala off with what looks like a shoulder injury.

Grace and Blackadder were impressive for the Crusaders.

Roe looking good for the Chiefs. Loved seeing Jonah Lowe turning up in the midfield a lot.

Mate what was the score please Crusaders v Chiefs

[Yeetyaah]

Chiefs just can't do anything in the opponents 22.

No he was playing went off after 10 minutes, looked like a shin injury, saw him rubbing it.

[Tim]

@number9 Thanks. Commentators getting it wrong is not surprising!

[Tim]

All Blues attack was up the middle or around the fringes in this half. Would be nice to see it go quick and wide to a wing.

[Yeetyaah]

Finally a try, pretty good one at that.
