@Tim I'm not surprised. I watched the "incident" several times and it was only TJP with his usual theatrics screaming it was a punch (which was repeated by the commentators), and an AR saying something liket Strange's (fore?)arm hitting Jordie's face/nose. On the images that were shown by Sky, you can with some imagination (it wasn't in close-up) see that Strange's arm touches Jordie's face, but you can't see any striking motion. They didn't show any replay of the incident (the ref didn't go to the TMO), so I can only assume that other camera angles showed that there was nothing in it.
Poor old Jordie with his nose spraying blood for no reason again 😂

Quiet I'm trying to imagine what would happen if Strange punched Evans or Lowe. Do you think those nearby would notice all the air be sucked out of the room before the explosion?

Paea looked to be a passenger last week, hope he and Goodhue have better games otherwise the Crusaders will struggle again. Their forward pack is a step down on previous years so the backs need to be humming.
Agree. On top of the players they lost from previous years, they're also missing quite a few starters from earlier this year. Moody, Barrett, Grace. In the backs, obviously, they're missing Ennor and Havili.
Chiefs the favourites for this game with home advantage and getting some players back from injury.

Meanwhile, first five-eighth Aaron Cruden has been promoted to start in his 100th match for the franchise, with coach Warren Gatland admitting not using him off the bench in the 33-31 defeat to the Highlanders a fortnight back was to try and manipulate it so that the milestone match was on home turf. -

@Yeetyaah Do you have any footage with different camera angles to prove that?
I don't think @Yeetyaah is Sky Sports

@Stargazer said in Chiefs v Crusaders:
@Bones Evans is already broken and Lowe already gets injured if you just look at him. No punch needed.
Ah hah! So you admit it was a punch 😬

Smack on the nose is good for Jordie harden him up even more.

well, the paradox created when the HB player is knocked out by the Crusaders player

@Stargazer said in Chiefs v Crusaders:
@Bones Nope. Just repeating the word you used.
So just to clarify, you think Jordie's nose was so scared it started pissing blood?

@Bones I never said that Strange's arm didn't touch his nose. I just said that I didn't see a striking motion of his arm. It could - for example - have happened when he lost his balance in the ruck and fell, and in that motion his arm connected with Jordie's nose who was lying on the ground. But that's just guessing, because - as I said - the footage is unclear/doesn't show it.

😂 Brilliant. His nose started bleeding after it was struck by Strange. Pretty simple. What did Strange go to the bin for?
