SF Crusaders v Chiefs

Chiefs are a dirty, niggly team. Everyone knows that.
Niggly? Yes.
Dirty? No.BBBR and Finau will be looking to smash anyone close enough to the breakdown to deserve attention. They will want players thinking 'what the fuck was that for?'
That's just high intensity test level play. It's why at that next level you are looking for guys that don't let niggle affect their game.
They will also put some hard open play hits in with follow ups of a push down or similar. The old 'think twice about coming down my channel'.Doesn't always work but it's all part of the game at this level (or should be) and is why selectors place emphasis on these high intensity matches.

@Crucial Pfff... semantics.

Dirty isn't a term to though around without support IMO.

Dirty is the type of shit Scott Barrett does when he gets carded.
Niggly is the type of shit BBBR does when he holds on to a player a bit too long at a ruck.

Rennie's Chiefs loved off the ball hits. I remember a shocker from Bird on Perenara. This was the same era in which the Crusaders loved them too. Moody used to get away with smacking people behind play all the time. He gave Parsons a concussion with a stiff arm to the head at a ruck, well after the ball was cleared and kicked up field.
Moody's act wasn't reviewed because it was more than one phase prior, and he wasn't even cited.

And now the angelic Blues have joined the thread. 😉

lol i loved the Chiefs niggling the fuck out of the Crusaders, because it meant we had finally go rid of our plucky underdogs mentality. And we copped shit for it because we dared touch Saint Richie and the holy Crusades boys.
Fuck 'em.
Rugby is a dirty, niggly game, and anyone who thinks it isn't probably wears, 10, 11, 14 or 15. Everyone else knows what's up

Rugby is a gentleman's game, and anyone thinks it isn't is some sort of dirty smelly oik who does not hold his pinky out when sipping tea with his cucumber sandwiches.

@Crucial You don't need support for common knowledge. The sky is blue, water is wet, and the Chiefs are filthy low-lifes.
#Unless they win today, then next week they'll be angelic guardians of all that is good in rugby against the cheating, dirty ______________ (insert semi-final 2 winner).

Not sure if already posted, but surely puts pressure on the home team

And then this ghastly cad from the Why-Cat-Tow dove straight at Lord Richie, just like this. Filthy carry-on from a lower class of people aye what.
You wouldn't see it at Eaton

I'm pretty sure that the Chiefs were the last NZ team to even get a YC during the season.
Poor reffing and TMO work then…
