Probably the right decision but Franks brought the referee into that and it could have gone the other way.

Franks did enough to stop the Chiefs player from attempting a diving tackle. Whether he would have made it or not is beside the point (Meg) - clear obstruction.

Whether he would have made the tackle or not is hugely relevant. Otherwise you could give penalties for obstruction on the other side of the field.

He was clearly in a position to attempt a tackle, that's all that matters.

No. Wether he can get to a position to attempt a tackle is the relevant test.

Dumb from Franks. That would cost a try with the Lions refs.

Most refs I would argue.

[Tim]

Would take James Lowe (and others) before Julian Savea.

Not really. 'In close vicinity' should be enough otherwise you are guessing entirely what may have happened.
There's only one reason Franks did what he did and that was to impede a potential tackler. Do that in the red zone as a defender against an attacker and you would possibly see yellow.

If that was a chiefs try and the decision went against us I would be livid. I truly think that was a fair try.

Crotty concussed. Back to the AB midfield discussions?

Concussion makes me very nervous. Crotty is our rock in the midfield, I can't think of a suitable replacement.

I think it makes a strong case for ALB. He is the next best decision maker

I had Crotty-ALB inked in!

SBW is the next cab off the rank given his experience, but he doesn't have the oroganisational skills that Crotty has. He would be a massive loss.

I'm thinking ALB to 12. Fekitoa is experienced enough and his form is picking up for 13

If it was Ben Franks, that would be a yellow

[Hooroo]

Imagine if Crudeness could actually fucking kick hard ones

[Crucial]

I like the way Cruden is taking on the line. Makes me wonder how much the NH guys in the Lions are used to dealing with that. You certainly don't see it alot up here.

@Tim
I am really rating Lowe. I hope he gets a test this year.

[Unco]

Did Marshall just tune into this game? It's not the first scrum of the game, nor is it the first scrum in the Chiefs half. The Chiefs scrum isn't the fuckin Canes scrum.

Lowe's off overseas. No way is he good enough to get a test with that factored in.

[Crucial]

I would love it if SBW hit his straps and he and Cruden could come of the bench and give us another show like that 20 odd minutes they did against Ireland a few years back.

They tend not to cap players signed for overseas though. He is playing so well.

[Tim]

Damn I hate those "tricky" lineout moves.

[Hooroo]

I have no idea how that happened @Baron-Silas-Greenback
