Crusaders v Chiefs

Yeetyaah

Well the chiefs played will for the first 50. This ref was a fucking joke. I mean I didn't expect to win but it would have been a better game if it wasn't ruined by the ref.

@kiwimurph and got little support from his assistants, well, little good support

I really really don’t like the goal line drop out.
Especially when it's Tiatia kicking it...

I love my rugby with a bit of comedy mixed in...

I'm taking off the 14 points scored when the system failed and I make it 25-17.

Much better effort than I expected from the Chiefs.

I missed the first hour - what happened?

Not impacting the result at all but Doleman has not been impressive. Missed stuff from both teams all over the shop.

The fact that Came had to use his challenge on the Mounga forward pass is the moronic setup to Williams' lazy decision.

The ground announcer was too slow to cue Benny Hill...

@gunner probably easier you watch, a horror 5 mins or so from the officials, pretty much all of them.

@gunner Weber got dudded in one of the worst TMO decisions you will ever see. End result was a Crusaders try and Weber being binned in what should have been a Mounga knock on.

It should have been a penalty against the jersey puller.

@bones Cane piled the trigger to quick, the TMO would have reviewed anyway

Without seeing it, how the fuck does that happen?

In my opinion the ref and TMOs often over complicate it by trying to be too technical.

Just keep it simple, if it looks like a dog and barks like a dog, chances are it’s a fucking dog, and don’t need a DNA sample to confirm it....

@gunner essentially what seemed to happen was the TMO made a quick call from one viewing/angle when in fact the second angle clearly showed what happened.

One thing New Zealand consistently fails to develop is competent referees. Anyone with a feel for the game plays.

What’s the fucking point of a fucking captains challenge if the fucking TMO is a fucking blind fuck!

And yet we have a chorus of people saying speed the decisions up. Even during this thread. Fuck being an official, they can't bloody win.

The decline of the Chiefs. Shame. I like close games. Ive said this before but NZ need a financial structure to make it financially mpossible for one team to stack a team with all the best players

Yeah, they've got to give it at least the 57 replays they give normal TMO decisions

How many times do you need to watch the same angle before going to another?

Tbe mistake made was having only one captain’s review. It should be like cricket. If you are successful you retain your review.
