SRA: Final. Crusaders vs Chiefs

[Crucial]

Ref was terrified of pulling out a red. Looking for reason not to

[Machpants]

That'd should be penalty, chiefs dropped that maul

[gt12]

@taniwharugby

That’s actually fair enough, so I cant really say much about it. Two yellows is a big thing.

[Yeetyaah]

Unreal shit

[ACT Crusader]

Saders have played 20 minutes of “I’m scared to lose” rugby.

[Gunner]

Early on in the piece the TMO said direct contact to the head, so I instantly though red card.
The last replay backed that up too.

This is state of origin refereeing- normal rules go out the window.

[Toddy]

@machpants ref swallowed his whistle.

And there two, that should be penalty advantage for scrum there

[gt12]

Get territory FFS

[antipodean]

I'm happy for refs to be super cautious about handing out red cards.

Bind dropped by Chiefs loosehead

[sparky]

Crusaders will tire after playing with 13. Chiefs favourites now but will they seize this opportunity to take the title?

Me too actually, if I turned that around Id hope for a YC, and with two out that’s a big advantage.

[gt12]

Jesus, that was hard watching that on Boshier.

[Donsteppa]

Close tight game - much better than I hoped for at this stage.

[taniwharugby]

@antipodean imagine if he gave a red and the ref boss over ruled it....

A guy driving your knee the wrong way isn't dangerous...

The video ref was misleading. The primary contact was shoulder to body. Sure the arm contacted the head but sometimes you have give some perspective

[gt12]

That fucking line out. Jesus.

You know Chiefs were favourites. We had AB centre and loosehead out.
