[Tim]

Retallick
Manu
Alaimalo
McKenzie

[Yeetyaah]

@sparky The kick was good, too bad about the blatant offside.

[antipodean]

Post right next to him and he tries to drive over, gets held up. Chiefs are just playing dumb rugby.

[hydro11]

Great defence there from the Lions.

[Stargazer]

Good to hear the commentators say that Debreczeni has "nothing serious".

[antipodean]

Don't have any ball, behind on the scoreboard - kick it away.

[Stargazer]

Great break from Brad Weber! Try time!

[antipodean]

Good try coming as a direct result of heads up by Weber.

[Stargazer]

Woweeeeee!

[Nepia]

Now the Chiefs decide to start playing.

[Yeetyaah]

Weber is in good form. Wainui had kicked it up a gear.

[Chris]

Mmmmm if McKenzie could find the posts the Chiefs could get home here

Certainly looks like it. Look completely different holding the ball and passing to players in space.

[Tim]

Great kick.

[Bones]

Fucking hell, how was that guy even close to being on his feet. That was ridiculous.

Yeah that was terrible from the ref.

[Donsteppa]

If MMac could kick from the right hand side of the field, and if Wainui could turn and run within the same phase the Chiefs could even be ahead..

And back live - if the Chiefs would try not to kick the fucking thing away to nowhere when they finally get the ball....

[Damo]

Why would Weber kick turnover ball away 10 points down with 8 to play? Makes no sense at all.

One of those moments where the TV is suddenly in danger from flying objects...

I reckon. Turnover ball is about the best ball you can get to attack with, and Weber just lobbed it back to the opposition.
