Chiefs vs Rebels

[Crash]

<p>Aaarrrrrgh that inside channel AGIAN,,,</p>

[Tordah]

<p>Chiefs lower themselves to the level of the opposition, add to that some horrible discipline and conceding penalty after penalty and the shit team is in for their first try</p>

I suspect that refs have been instructed to give benefit of doubt to the attacking team. They are quite lax on " not held"

[Tordah]

<p>what was that, going down the short side where there's a 2 on 5 and one of the 2 is the smalles man on the field? stupid</p>

<p>I think he's been the best of the Oz 7s this year ... in all facets of play, maybe you'd appreciate him more if someone squashed his head down Hoopah style.   ;)</p>

<p>I will admit that I am biased against him as I would like to see Jordie Reid for the Rebels in the number 7 shirt.  I am a big Reid fan and believe he would be the wider training group for the ABs if he was a New Zealander. That said given how good McMahon is I can see why he is picked ahead of Reid. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Liam Gill has also been decent so between the incredible number of strong number 7s in Australia I reckon you are a making a big call in saying McMahon is the best, but to each his own.</p>

[Tordah]

<p>fucking stupid idiots, what happened to the Chiefs? Since min 35 they have sucked</p>

[antipodean]

<p>Good maul defence by the Rebels there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The chorus calling for McKenzie to be in black seems to have quietened.</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>good chiefs scrum...</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>try...TMO</p>

[antipodean]

<p>Great scrum by the Chiefs. Monstering them.</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>that is too many phases back isnt it?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He was out though...</p>

[Tordah]

<p>Chiefs tactic of not forming rucks and thus no offsides has worked out well so far</p>

<p>Best this season.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I doubt Reid would be in an AB wider training group though. He's a bit of a cult favourite with his dreads and robust style play though.</p>

2 phases?

<p>I agree, I thought it was 2 phases</p>

[gt12]

Right call, but I'm sure that's outside the way it's meant to be used? There were at least two rucks? So WTF's a 'phase'?
