Crusaders v Chiefs

@african-monkey said in Crusaders v Chiefs:

Teams in Super Rugby continue to lose their shape when Mo'unga receives the ball behind the first ball carrier, rushing out of the line unnecessarly creating holes for Mo'unga to take. Think sides need to do more homework on shutting Mo'unga down i.e. not shooting out of the line.

The problem is it always just one player running up. Never running up as a team.

@gt12 Yes, hence why he struggles there. Super Rugby sides make him look very good at times.

[African Monkey]

@hydro11 And that's all he needs. Either all go up or don't go up at all.

I’m on your side here. I dont know why sides give him that space either.

@bones I think we should balance it by saying , you still need to take your opportunities ..ENS tries to pick a ball instead of kicking it ..possible 7 points , 2 missed penalties ..13 possible points gone astray ..

[Tim]

@gt12 And consistently buy his dummy.

Problem is Chiefs have allowed Crusaders to gain momentum. Like when it was 10-8 and off the kick off they give away the dumb penalty.

And Quinn Tupaea just does exactly what you shouldn't on Mo'unga, proving my point.

[KiwiMurph]

Goodhue blew that.

[gt12]

Are we sending out ENS? That’s funny if so.

Edit: nope that was Tupaea who is looking very ducking ordinary.

We have a maul, red in possession.

Ref says brought down by red. No penalty. So collapsing a maul is ok if you're red?

Yes, you can collapse the maul if you have the ball.

[Steven Harris]

@hydro11 all the above ..it’s easy to focus on the decisions that are not going your way and forget the ones that are in your own hands ..

Nit just a Red problem. Teams in possession have been getting away with collapsing the maul for ages.

Is that in the laws?

Yeah but you don't usually hear the ref saying that they collapsed it...

He's been crap. Gave away the penalty that got the Crusaders into the Chief's half straight from the kickoff and changed the momentum of the first half.

I guess you are technically correct but it isn't bias because I have never seen in refereed that way.

[Crazy Horse]

Wow. Surely even Chiefs fans can appreciate that.

[gt12]

Nice try!
