<p>It's not really absurd, though. The Chiefs need four loose forwards and presumably Koloamatangi has been given a dispensation to play. He was an original squad member, Brown a later addition, and Messam presumably even later. So I can see why SANZAR would give the dispensation to Koloamatangi. He may not be the one Rennie most wanted, but it's not Dave's choice.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Given the Lambie situation, SANZAR are obviously being hardline on the rule and<strong> I haven't yet seen an inconsistency.</strong></p>

<p>I would argue the fact they appear consistent in their approach to this is inconsistent with SANZARs previous actions in regard to anything..that said, it is more the stupidity of the rulings, not the consistency IMO.</p>

[No Quarter]

Stormers 18 - 22 Chiefs.

Wish this game wasn't in the middle of the night, could be epic.

[pakman]

<p>Agree. Think it'll be pick of bunch. If Lions and Canes win Chiefs will have to stay in SA.</p>

[broughie]

<p>So why don't they have neutral refs for these games?</p>

[KiwiMurph]

Good start both teams.

[hydro11]

<p>Why do teams do that bloody lineout throw? Stormers look decent here.</p>

[KiwiMurph]

Get the feeling TKB would have been better suited to start this game.

[Bones]

Wow, terrible call from Peyper there as opposed to Joubert earlier. That try should've been a penalty.

Harris has a different playbook than everyone else? 2 throws to absolutely no one.

<p>Looked like a planned mover. Hurricanes and Highlanders do it on their own line.</p>

<p>McNicol in.</p>

[KiwiMurph]

Great finish McNichol

[JAF]

Quick hands for the try

[hydro11]

<p>Great try!</p>

[Bones]

Yeah nah I think Weber starting is pretty good eh...

[KiwiMurph]

Ok maybe that is why Weber started.<br><br>
DMac has been brilliant so far.

Guess it's their playbook he has then.

[broughie]

<p>Nice on Stewie.  Go Chiefs.</p>

I thought it was ok. Not held for me. Maybe you could say it was a crawl, but I don't think so. Should have gone to TMO to check not held though.
