Chiefs vs Moana Pasifika

[Yeetyaah]

Gatland is fucking awful.

[Yeetyaah]

Christ this is shit from the Chiefs.

[Machpants]

Lucky try, Vai pass was toss!

[antipodean]

Did Vaa’i grab the ball from behind him at that ruck?

Yup, penalty

Very much like the clean out on chiefs 8 there, totally from the side, penalty. Ref is blind

[Machpants]

A bit of luck the MP way, nice try

[Mr Fish]

It always feels like the referees in the Moana Pasifika games let a lot of technical things slide. Perhaps unconsciously trying to even up things and not create too much of a stop-start affair but it's very noticeable that the officiating standards drop whenever MP are playing.

[antipodean]

Are the Chiefs aware the game involves tackling?

[Machpants]

That's knee down, ffs

Enari one of the best nines in NZ on form

[Bones]

Haven't noticed him too much in other games other than that he doesn't seem to have made any glaring mistakes, but really liking the look of Enari's distribution and fitness eh. He's got a bloody sweet long pass.

Snap.

[Machpants]

Nice try from a complete pile of poo period!

[Bones]

ENS goes for razzle dazzle over a simple pop, gets lucky.

Jeff Wilson agrees

[Bones]

Thought the pass from Nankivell to Jacobson was forward too.

[Machpants]

Penalty only, carry on

[Machpants]

FFS

[Duluth]

Start at a red, mitigating for the dip, yellow card imo

[antipodean]

Like last night's - only difference is the amount the player has dropped. Easy yellow card.

[Bones]

Bah. Should be pen only but oh well that's on Apoua for creating the YC opportunity.
