SRA: Final. Crusaders vs Chiefs

[Gunner]

Early on in the piece the TMO said direct contact to the head, so I instantly though red card.
The last replay backed that up too.

This is state of origin refereeing- normal rules go out the window.

@machpants ref swallowed his whistle.

And there two, that should be penalty advantage for scrum there

I'm happy for refs to be super cautious about handing out red cards.

Bind dropped by Chiefs loosehead

[sparky]

Crusaders will tire after playing with 13. Chiefs favourites now but will they seize this opportunity to take the title?

Me too actually, if I turned that around Id hope for a YC, and with two out that’s a big advantage.

Jesus, that was hard watching that on Boshier.

[Donsteppa]

Close tight game - much better than I hoped for at this stage.

@antipodean imagine if he gave a red and the ref boss over ruled it....

A guy driving your knee the wrong way isn't dangerous...

The video ref was misleading. The primary contact was shoulder to body. Sure the arm contacted the head but sometimes you have give some perspective

[gt12]

That fucking line out. Jesus.

You know Chiefs were favourites. We had AB centre and loosehead out.

Terrible kick

Terrible kick

Our exit game is just atrocious and I cant believe we’ve been lucky enough to get away with it for this long.

[Machpants]

Nice droppy, NZ rugby needs MOAR!

[Toddy]

Why drop kick it! use the advantage and try and score

[Bones]

Beautiful passage of play by Mounga.
