QF: Chiefs v Reds

[Mattasaurus]

Best contest all season, bloody entertaining.

[KiwiMurph]

That was a brilliant game. Well done both sides.

[mariner4life]

Great game! A real final.

Commiserations reds fans your team put in an awesome effort

Great win Chiefs. Made to work, found what was needed

[Donsteppa]

"Engrossing" and "an arm wrestle" were a couple of cliches that the commentators could have genuinely used for that game.

@antipodean Super Rugby refereeing.

Jesus fuck eyore

[Kirwan]

@mariner4life he’s not wrong, but at lease in this game it went both ways.

[antipodean]

Tate McDermott blaming refereeing for the loss. Not captaincy material.

[Mattasaurus]

Tate - couple of "questionable calls" ... plenty both ways mate.. show some class you twerp

The reds turn up with their best performance in ages and nearly win a final in NZ and that's the takeaway?

@Derpus if you didn’t enjoy that, you don’t like rugby. Excellent game from both sides.

Derpus says:

But... the australian team didn't win - therefore... Super Rugby is broken. A worthless comp. A highway to continued mediocrity.
The only solution is an Australia-only comp, where an Australian team is guaranteed to win. With the same referees. And the same players. But... no nasty teams to beat us. So... there's that.

[His Bobness]

What a surly and ill-tempered response from McDermott. Questionable calls? Sure. But from what I saw, that went both ways.

Led with it too!! Australian rugby in a fucking nutshell. Derpus is not an outlier

[Tordah]

Yeah, that was uncalled for from McDermott. Silly thing to say, would have been even if it really were the case, but I don't see how the Reds can be angry with Gardiner at all

That is fucked up.
A spectacular level of self-delusion. I actually feel a little jealous... to be that ignorant must truly be bliss.

[Dan54]

Well it hard to argue with an 8 teams final after that game.

Yep. Can't say it was the best refereeing ever. But also didn't feel like throwing things at the TV because of it either - it seemed to average out.

There's a generation that had their formative years coincide with winning a RWC and holding the Bledisloe. The return to the long term mean has had them blaming referees and calling other teams cheats ever since.

[Victor Meldrew]

"Some of the call didn't go our way" Meaning: "that's the game and these things can go either way"

"Some questionable calls tonight" Meaning: "I'm a dickhead"

[Kirwan]

@mariner4life I took it as a comment across the comp, not just this game.

[Derpus]

@Kruse hey I enjoyed that game. Was a goodn.

But yeah. I stand by what I said and still think.
