Highlanders v Force

[MajorRage]

Only saw the highlights, but two questions I have for those that watched

1. Why was it not a penalty try for the intentional knock on of the last pass by the Clan?
2. What was the mitigation for the tip tackle to not be a red card?

Both weren't covered on the highlights.

@MajorRage re the failed intercept, they decided they player receiving the pass was covered by gilbert, who did actually proceed to tackle him

no idea what the mitigation was for the tip tackle, i thought (rightly or wrongly) it would be red

What is it with Chiefs' fans bagging the Clan?
It does look like the Clan pulled some dudes out of the crowd though, doesn't it? Baby faces and pot-bellies!
Unfortunately, even though they still have a rugged front row, some hard-working loosies, and a good midfield, their injury list isn't going to win them many games.

IIRC, I think they said he didnt drive him into the ground and was more shoulder first...

I wouldn't be surprised if he was wearing CGBs and that would have made him look especially small.

As a Naki man I would have to say saying 'just facing Taranaki' is a reason for me to hunt you down!!!!!! Lol

Nah, I was kidding, of course. I have a deep respect for the Bulls.
I had the impression of watching Southland vs Taranaki, that's all.
