@bovidae

Why the fuck do they roll out a better team (minus Dmac) this week in comparison to what they ran out last week?

We'll probably have a functioning set piece this week although the lineout will fall to bits once Slater comes on with Brown.

[ARHS]

Why does this look like another pre-season hit out for the Taranaki npc forward pack?

[Bovidae]

To answer my own query:

With Damian McKenzie and Liam Messam having headed home, due to suspension, and a family commitment, respectively, Sean Wainui and Tom Florence joined up with the rest of the 24 players across the ditch, though both will watch from the sidelines, along with prop Aidan Ross, who McMillan has decided to rest.

[Yeetyaah]

@booboo was supposed to be a Chiefs home game.

[Stockcar86]

Stupid from Tupaea

Not for the first time this season.

[Damo]

So at the luneout Rebels player crosses the line of touch, goes past the ball and enters from the wrong side to grab the ball still in the lineout.

Ref just shrugs.

[Yeetyaah]

Deliberate knock down penalty try yellow card.

[Mackerzzzz]

Justin Harrison is a total twat

[Yeetyaah]

Shit game so far. This comp sucks. Maybe it's just coz the Chiefs can't make it so I'm not hyped about it.

Harrison said because the ball went past the 15 metre there's no offiside line

[taniwharugby]

@kiwimurph line-out is over once it goes past 15m

[Yeetyaah]

@kiwimurph yeah I'm confused about that one.
