[KiwiMurph]

Commentators lol. Clear try.

[gt12]

17-6 and it might slip away for the chiefs here.

FFS Commentator. Beauden doesn't need control.

Correct, however if both players had a hand with downward pressure (don't know if they did), then if one is deemed to be in possession they take precedence. Control of the ball indicates possession.

[Stargazer]

Awesome team try for the Canes!

[dingo]

Thats just a complete tin arse try and yet what skills.

[Bones]

Good one Nisbo, Laumape takes it up, gets tackled, next play, Laumape is out on the right you reckon? Looked distinctly like Proctor.

[Stargazer]

@bones The also said McKenzie's tackle was great. It wasn't. It was high (right arm above the shoulder), but not spotted.

[Bones]

And still going on about it, muppet!

[No Quarter]

Laumape has to be odds on for the AB 12 jumper at this stage. He's playing accurate footy and he's a fucking wrecking ball.

Prescient.

Ngatai you eedjit.

[No Quarter]

Alaimalo was unmarked and he kicks... try butchered.

[Donsteppa]

Chiefs having a great game of "don't kick it, pass it!", "don't pass it, kick it!" "don't hungus it, pass it!

[Bones]

Aso getting held back, right in front of the AR. No call.

"Too much off the ball, nothing that we've seen"

Wut?

It will be interesting to see where they'll go with the midfield. Crotty will be in if fit; the question is in which position and who will be the other midfielder.

[Bones]

@stargazer certainly wouldn't be averse to seeing Laumape/Crotty. Thompson into 13 when Crotty gets injured.

[dingo]

Just out of curiosity. Why is Nathan Harris an AB but Ricky R not?

I'd expect Crotty to be at 13 with Goodhue next in line. We're looking pretty strong in the midfield at the moment with ALB and Thompson there as well.

@dingo Riccitelli only just starting to find shades of his first season form. Harris has actually been decent for the ABs.
