Chiefs vs Wales, June 14

[kiwiinmelb]

only been watching for 10 minutes , chiefs look extra committed in defence

[Tordah]

<p>so weird, Chiefs commit many penalisable offences but nothing, then Elliot legitimiately jumps on a ball that's been left behind and he'S penalised for that. Frasier really is not a good referee</p>

<p>Yeah - but where was <strong>the evidence that it was held up</strong>? The only thing lacking was a camera angle - the balance of likelihoods was a try - and very clearly in favour of a try.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Stupid decision in my opinion.</p>

<p>They don't need proof that it was held up. It needs to be clear and obvious that there was a grounding. If that isn't clear. there isn't a try. That's just the way it works. Would have preferred another outcome, but if they can't see a grounding, there isn't a try.</p>

[Tordah]

<p>20th maul finally works and Wales score a lame ass try</p>

[Donsteppa]

After 15 minutes with the ball the Welsh finally score a try. <br><br>
They look like 13 locks, a halfback, and a winger on attack. <br><br>
And I'm being generous about the halfback. <br><br>
21 - 7.

<p>Is that a definite refereeing protocol? If there's any doubt with a "try no try" ruling then the benefit of the doubt goes in favour of the defending team?</p>

<br>
Yep, needed them to ask the "any reason why not to award a try" question in this instance.

[Donsteppa]

Wales finally sub off several of the locks....

[Donsteppa]

My fear is that the Chiefs will run out of legs in the last 15. Need to get our hands on the ball for a while,

[Donsteppa]

Wales trying to batter the Chiefs pack into submission, Chiefs clinging on

[Tordah]

<p>Donald missing touch from the penalty was criminal, after holding out for ten minutes straight onto another defensive set of tackling, tackling, and more tackling. Why wsa he going for 60 meters? He could have just gone for 30 or so, just make sure your team gets a breather. But he was good other than that. Bird the best player on the park so far</p>

[Tordah]

<p>Lowe in after a Seu break. Yessss</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Try James Lowe! </p>

[Unco]

<p>Chiefs finally get the ball and a minute and a half later, they score. lol Wales.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Well done Beaver!!</p>

[Donsteppa]

28 - 7. Wales are shite. Donald finally limps off

[Unco]

<p>Donald's an absolute legend.</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>Love the Beaver! </p>

[Donsteppa]

Welsh have had 7+ phases 11 times. And one try to show for it.
