QF: Chiefs v Reds

[Mattasaurus]

Reds getting away with being very slow rolling away at the rucks..... they should not be rolling back ... i believe they are told to roll to the sides ... if that makes sense

[Kirwan]

@Mattasaurus they annoyed the ref trying to milk it too much, so now have more latitude

Totally agree.

[Derpus]

@Mattasaurus Blues were doing it all night last night and all the refs seem to be very lenient about rolling away in general this year. Prudent tactic.

[Kirwan]

If he took that!

[Mattasaurus]

@Derpus Yup agreed mate ... and come RWC the Super rugby nations will suffer for it

[KiwiMurph]

@Derpus Aside from last night Blues have been pinged all year for not rolling away. They never learn.

[Donsteppa]

Poor kick option from DMac gets punished with the Reds now hot on attack...

[KiwiMurph]

@Donsteppa You have to pay credit to McDermott - he read that beautifully

[His Bobness]

Is this the AFL QF? Certainly has more kicking.

[Kirwan]

Goal line drop outs have led to aimless kicking.

I think Gus is taking it too though, on the near side he pinged for not rolling away as the tacklers were rolling over and the ball was available.

[Donsteppa]

Brodie and Aidan Ross would not be my ideal choice of forwards to try and run through.

[antipodean]

Just awesome from Retallick. Gets under the extremely limited Wilson and drives him backwards.

[KiwiMurph]

Harry Wilson showing why Eddie didn't pick him. 0 footwork.

[Machpants]

Beaudy needs take kick pass lessons from DMac

[KiwiMurph]

Some awesome hits out there

[Nepia]

I thought that was a bad hospital from DMac but it was really just a damn good tackle.

Can be both. But DMac is playing well so far - certainly looking better than Beaudy did last night.

Finau with a huge (legal) shoulder in defense too. Smashed Vunivalu.
