Blues v Chiefs
-
Funny how the laws have changed,Back in the day hands weren’t allowed in the rucks and now no rucking allowed.That last charge at the line yesterday by the Chiefs in older days would have had skin flying in all directions,finishing up with an all in brawl.A very sedate game now at breakdown!

Just been watching the game. At the ground, it seemed like the Blues got the poo end of the stick pretty frequently. Re-watching, it's just as brutal ...some weird interpretations about supporting bodyweight, not rolling, etc. It's just a bit frustrating really.
You know the ref has been average when both sets of fans are grizzling.

@nzzp orrrrr....it's the blues and a team that's lost 7 on the trot
yeah, the last call was baffling, but given what led up to it my sympathy levels have drastically reduced.
As @tim said I think - suck it up and get better

15 - 6 favourable penalty count and still whining about it.
Chiefs star Brad Weber vents frustration at 'laughable' refereeing calls in wake of Blues defeat

@Tim Lol if the Blues fans/players considered moaning about the refs over the last 5-10 years people would just laugh at us

they did, and they did.
Question is, did the Chiefs moan as much before Gats

@Virgil would be destroying a TV every week if he was a Chiefs fan under the Gatland regime.

A few thoughts after a rewatch.
GCT had a very good game but he is pretty similar to Patrick Tuipolutu. They are not complementary at all. With Robinson out with injury, the Blues don't try to disrupt the opposition's lineout as they did in the first round of the competition. So, despite their small size, the Chiefs forwards won their own throws and put a lot of pressure on their Blues opponents, thanks to the quality of their possession. Maybe it is time to try another combination. Pierce fared very well during the SA tour. He is a tall guy who can jump. He has to be given his chance. -

On subject of reffing, ALB pass for Alaimalo try was forward.
I think the TV misleads - I thought the same thing , but once you look a tthe angles it looked clearly backwards.
The BB pass called forward, on the other hand, drifted forward in the air...

I’ll take another look. The BB pass had swerve on it — thrown backwards but as pass started to come down swerved forwards. Dud call.
