QF - Chiefs v Reds

@Horatio said in QF - Chiefs v Reds:

@KiwiMurph Aus teams are 0/16 in NZ during finals so basically anything short of a top 2 finish guarantees an NZ series win. Anything short of a top 4 finish guarantees a quarter final exit.

I hear you. I guess my point is that this Reds I think can improve. They've shown they can foot it with nz teams during regular season. Now they need to take the next step.

Chiefs backline defence seems leakier since changes.

Wouldn't be opposed to a back three selection of:

Clarke, Narawa, Tele'a, Nanai-Seturo, Love

So you’re leaving out the best wing in the comp?

Fark me go circle jerk in the Canes thread. Up the Rebels.

I was talking about Sevu Reece, a Crusader…

Nah mate, he's off to the Canes next year. Source: I dreamed it

Pick any of your top 3 in any position, Razor.

Wallabies won't get within 20

I'm interested in tier 1 opposition

Finau seems to have adding jackaling to first five extermination.

You won't get it here

[Mr Fish]

Looks like Poihipi has moved into 10.

[Horatio]

Maybe.. doesn't make for a watchable finals series now though, sadly.

[Machpants]

alb with another (almost) intercept

[KiwiMurph]

Perofeta got carded vs Crusaders Hunter should be too

[NTA]

Lol here we go.

Penalty try yellow card

[Horatio]

Yellow card for a missed intercept but not for a dangerous tackle with (possible) head contact is peak rugby.

[pakman]

This yellow card protocol is pants.

It does if they improve

You do go on a bit.

If it wasn't head contact the argument how it had to be a YC is diminished. I agree that it ought to have been a card but it was not as straightforward as you are suggesting.

At least it's very straightforward, which isn't the case for pretty much any of the other laws/protocols.

[Canes4life]

Chiefs should ring the changes
