Round Five: Waratahs vs Chiefs Friday 7:30 pm

[Derpus]

Did he get that down?

 

[Pokinacha]

Chiefs winger fends nawaqanitawase in the face with a closed fist.

 

[Pokinacha]

And now Perese get a head clean out and nothing

 

[KOB1987]

So the flying headbutt is ok for chiefs players?

 

[KOB1987]

Gordon making up for 4 weeks of playing for the opposition

It’s just so confusing and frustrating. Some games that’s a red; here not even a penalty.

Absolutely no consistency and I imagine if that happened in NZ against a kiwi team with a kiwi ref, the outcome would be very different

Compare that one to the one that cost us a Bledisloe (Sio I think) about 4 years ago when they spent about 20 minutes playing slo mo replays trying to actually find the head contact

Four years in terms of head contact protocols is a lifetime.

 

[SteveWA]

Two weeks is apparently a lifetime.

 

[KOB1987]

The Tahs scrum is certainly impressive under the circumstances

They look to be putting pressure on the lineout too.

Definitely, Ned just picked off that underarm

 

[Derpus]

Be interested to see the field position stats. Almost 100% played in the Tahs half.

 

[Pokinacha]

Geez Tahs scrum have been towelling up their front row and the ref decides to penalise them. Maybe I just don’t understand the laws of this game after all

 

[Pokinacha]

9 chiefs is crawling on the ground and not on his feet and doesn’t use arms. How is that a legal tackle?

 

[KOB1987]

Outstanding defence Tahs

its legal for kiwis

 

[KOB1987]

Happy with that half. Not sure we will have the petrol to make an impression later in the game though

Defence certainly has improved from last week. Chiefs set piece isn’t as strong as it has been over the last few weeks.
