Chiefs vs Moana Pasifika

[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

[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.

[Stargazer]

@duluth Yep, I agree. The right outcome, just. Not even obvious first contact was with the head.

Not direct to head, shoulder first, and the mitigation was other MP player just tackled him mid drift, causing him to fold and head goes low last micro second. That's not even following the protocol, indirect contact, mitigation, means penalty only

I don't think we should be privy to the discussion between the officials in situations like we just saw. It discourages proper discussion and lessons the likelihood of someone speaking up if they think an error is being made.

Not sure what you mean?

[Bones]

As a smokey for the ABs, I'd like to see Nankivell in the environment - better utility value than Tupaea and a gazillion times better in the midfield than Ennor.

[Bones]

Nankivell is shit
