Chiefs vs Jaguares

Donsteppa

Now Ardron joins the crocked list. Defending with 12.

You reckon that was a deliberate infringement? Looked to me he was just trying push - he wasn’t the cause of the infringement. But I only saw the one replay, will have to break it down G&G style after the game ...

He's driving at an angle where the lead Jaguare player was only ever going to fold in.

Not sure about that first yellow card. Sure it’s always a yellow now under the rules, but when people put themselves in that position I’m just a little bit wary of it.

Allardice stepped sideways and put out his arm. It's entirely his fault. Had he stayed bound to the ruck, it wouldn't have happened.

Nankivell joins the ranks of turnstile backs tonight but the Chiefs recover and clear it.

Donsteppa

NGATAI!!!

That was almost a “14 pointer”...

Donsteppa

.... loved the defensive bomb!

Hooroo

I thought in real time it looked forward

Donsteppa

And TMO as always...

Gunner

Jeez, I’m not convinced that the knock on was clear and obvious enough to over turn the try

Stargazer

@gunner IMO it was. The palm of his hand was forward, so could never knock it backward.

I agree. I real time I thought forward but on replay not so obvious.

Chiefs don’t deserve shit though to be fair.

Donsteppa

@stargazer could still knock it downwards or even slightly backwards depending on momentum etc.

Thought it was 50/50 when I first saw it live. Once the TMO was involved it was always trouble though.

Yep, one of those nights when the Chiefs don’t earn or deserve the 50/50 moments.

Hooroo

Great composure from the young debutant not to react. Says a lot about him as he would be pumped up

ShadowTrooper

I do like the look of Parete though

Machpants

Both teams have forgotten how wide the field is. Jags against thirteen, don't go wide. Then chiefs, who also don't take the three, try to go up the middle where jags have been great all game. Both sides utterly lacking rugby intelligence

Yep, gutted he’s now showing up as Taranaki rather than BoP.

I reckon that penalty was harsh - looked like the ball was well out when Messam went forward.

Gunner

This has been a Blues like performance from the Chiefs.
I suppose you get that when half the team is only NPC quality.

Possible - I was watching the ball more.
