Chiefs vs Hurricanes

[booboo]

Well...

... good game.

Enjoyed it.

Despite the best efforts of the league media rugby isn't dead and crikey look at that crowd for a dead sport.

Good on Canes good for the win.

Inches in it either way, so often.

Best thing for me was Samisoni remembering he is Taukei'aho...

That's a terrible penalty goal miss.

McKenzie missing from in front really cost them, eh.

@antipodean I’d be annoyed if Havili gets in over Proctor or ALB. Both players should be in there.

How many midfielders do we think the all blacks will take? I’ve got them taking the 5 below, in no particular order.

Jordie Barrett
Billy Proctor
ALB
Reiko Ioane
And my gut tells me that Razor will stick with Havili even though he has been well below average this season. Hes picked due to the fact he can trust him and knows what he can do(also his versatility).

That means McLeod and Tupaea both miss out.

[Tim]

@Landers92 I think your guy Tele'a has been playing better than McLeod and Tupaea. As have Heem, Plummer, and Lam.

[Tim]

Apologies to Evans.

[No Quarter]

Only caught the highlights but that ALB try assist was very slick, still has some of the old magic

In my view the final pass was a clear forward pass. He was lucky to get away with it

So were we on our try, clear forward pass missed a few phases earlier

I queried it at the time. Replay looked back out of the hand.

[Jailbreak7]

AB watch - Proctor's form is impossible to ignore. ALB and Jordie put in huge shifts yesterday as well. Feel it may be Tupaea will be the one to miss out, just needs to work on his decisions on D a bit more.

[Bovidae]

My only comment about this match is that I knew Williams would have a big say. He's a terrible ref and is so inconsistent with his rulings. Penalties for lineout blocking being an example.

[Canes4life]

@Bovidae yeah there were a few bemusing calls against both sides which left players scratching their heads.

One example when I watched the replay was that Jordie was blowing up at Williams after he rushed his kick right on the hooter because Williams' comms weren't clear, Jordie actually had a lot more time than he thought he had.

When Jordie confronted him about it, Williams just laughed at Jordie and ran off the field. Little things like that can be costly to a team in a big game of that magnitude.

I didn't think Williams made a bad job of reffing the game. I don't mind him as a ref, but none of them worry me anyway. I think as a rule the refs make a good job of a complicated game.
