Chiefs v Crusaders

[antipodean]

I'm happy with the penalty. Calling it an intercept attempt is taking the piss.

Much like an overlap is now a justification for a YC. There was clear defence behind Stevenson.

@WillieTheWaiter

Our kicking from hand has been terrible.

thing is, 99% of these end this way if you dont catch it

Yup that's the way the refs have been told to police it. If you stop an attack by intercept well done, but if it goes forward = penalty/yellow. Means there's no interpreting of intentions needed to be done by ref.

[taniwharugby]

I wonder how often the Crusaders actually score inside the last minute of a half

Fucking crudens piss weak kick cost us there

Yep, that clearance was custard footed at best.

[KiwiMurph]

Marshall wanking on about potential backline plays at that earlier scrum and doesn't mention the possibility of Crusaders playing for a scrum penalty when Crusaders had won a scrum penalty the previous scrum.

What then happened? Crusaders get a scrum penalty.

Taking the kids where?

It was an attempt, just a bad one. High risk, so needed to grab it.

[Kirwan]

And losing a winger doesn’t affect maul defence, that was utter shit.

Autocorrect. I don't know why, I type piss more than kids...

Someone tell Cruden he's gonna get bitchslapped if he keeps up with those stupid kicks in play. And Weber, if he ever attempts that no look passing crap again.

I read autocorrect. Was a good one.

He’s no George Gregan. Wonder if he was bored?

Chiefs only have themselves to blame. In between defensive lapses, they are playing pretty well. But they aren't going to win unless soemthing changes.

I'm surprised at how poor the defence is for a Gatland coached side.

[Donsteppa]

Watching the try highlights of the first half suggests Shaun Stevenson will do anything to avoid going into contact to make a tackle.

[antipodean]

@nzzp did he choose his assistants?

[Chris]

Crusaders doing ok with such a average side no
Barrett,Grace,Moodey or Ennor
YC for Stevenson spot on if you knock the ball down with your palm facing the ground you are Not trying to catch it

But I am sure Gatland will scream blue murder

He can scream all he wants on a one way flight back to Wales.

@Donsteppa

I hear they're a bit limited at the moment, so the Chiefs might be stuck with him for a while longer

[Kirwan]

Crudan has made some great bootlace tackles
