Waratahs v Chiefs

Yuk. That is the most incompetently officiated game of the super season. Ref and tmo were horribly off form.. The crowd and spectators deserve better than that. The rules need to be sorted. What a lottery! Didn't think I would ever see worse than the tmo performance earlier in the series over there and just found out it was the same guy Brett Cronan.

Is the crowd just going to spend the rest of the game booing now after the red card?
TBF, most of the crowd booing for the yellow were booing the reds decision, not the player.

@arhs the problem isn't really the laws/rules. It's the officials.
... and one or two good ones won't change that. The consistency of refereeing has been absolutely horrific this year (and for a while). I'm happy to talk intepretations, but some of the decision making with the benefit of TMO live just leads to utterly random calls. What really shits me is the ref standing there watching something happen live, and then looking at a replay and going yellow card. Really? How bloody clear is that?
The AR ability to actually see who is in touch and who isn't appears to be woefully limited as well, the skill levels are abysmal.

Haven't confirmed it yet but there is a big chance boshier won't be there next season
He "attempted" the final conversion so I was thinking there must be something to that.
Overseas coin is my guess. The ABs have made it clear that he is getting judged on a different scorecard as far as selection goes. Take away the black jersey target and he may as well get the family some money.

@gt12 Yes. Wiki has already been updated by someone.
Add Ngatai to the Chiefs list too (4 tries vs Force in 2016).
Tell me that they called him the new Maori Jesus.
This was only a list of the individual try-scorers. There are a lot of players who scored 4 tries in a match.

I don't begrudge Boshier going if that is true, but I'm curious who could be replacing him in the squad. McMillan said that there wasn't any room for Kapeli in 2022 as they had a full squad of forwards. Cane, Karpik and one other? The ginga Florence is a 6/7 so could be an option. Mitch Jacobson is another no.7 available. We'll see.

Ohhhh. The scorecard where everyone else in your position is better than you. Gotta hate that.
I'd take Bosh over Kirifi any day. More strings to the bow and more accurate.

Can someone explain to me why, in the lead up to the Waratahs only try, there wasn't a penalty for thr most blatant of obstructions when 2 guys peeled off the maul?

Have you not seen all the posts about the incompetence of the refs?
I believe that maul was also set up incorrectly with the ball being passed back to a player that hadn't joined yet. Same offence pinged for the Chiefs only minutes before.
