Chiefs v Hurricanes 17th May 2013

[ACR]

Bit of a scrappy game here. I think the most notable thing is what a cheating bunch of hu-ahs the Chiefs are. It's almost farcical.

Chiefs 12 - 9 Hurricanes just before half time.

I really liked TJ Perenara's hit on Robinson (I think it was Robinson) early on.

This may be the worst NZ derby for quite some time. Even taking conditions into account, both sides look completely disinterested.

Terrible game so far. Anybody else confused by that offside penalty against the 'Canes on their attacking lineout. I know that an offensive 'backline' can be offside at a lineout, but it's not something you often see called. Surprised the commentators didn't make more of a big deal out of it.

No.
2 bases:
Inside the 15m or more than 15m from touchline before the line out was over.
Leaving the line out after it started and before finished.
The second is available every week and the failure to penalise it more often is a blight. IMO.

I said that I was aware what the penalty was for, but thanks for the condescension. I was more referring to the fact that they didn't appear to be inside the 15, which the commentators did mention when they showed a belated replay.

It wasnt the backline it was the forwards.

So, who won?

Two very promising young scrum halves on show there. Shitty conditions and both handled them well.

They seem to just keep pumping them out - is there a bad half in NZ?
