I missed the game.
How did Jacomb go?
He played well but was skinned by the 'saders hooker Bell for one try.

@Canerbry said in Crusaders v Chiefs:
I wanna see if that 11 was behind the kicker.
They checked it and said he was.
Why are you playing that cut out pass in that situation?
Chiefs still have a sniff here.
No idea how Bell gets away with that throw. Should be a not straight.
Fihaki makes some bad decisions at the back.
@taniwharugby said in Crusaders v Chiefs:
I always thought ref was the sole judge of time?
I don't think the ref actually keeps time anymore.
Crusaders wanting to play at pace, but getting caught out as well.
I suppose a penalty on halfway is a pretty big punishment.
Chiefs getting the benefit of that call. Lucky to stay on the field for that.

Is it possible to get a feed without the two one-eyed clowns jerking themselves off every time the Crusaders do anything?
Marshall would have to be one of the least one-eyed commentators, probably ever?
@Gunner said in Blues v Crusaders:
Score as it stands very much flatters the Crusaders, Blues should have won by a lot more.
I actually disagree. The first half the Blues edged. In the second half, the Blues dominated but left a lot of points out there. Most of that was due to mistakes or poor decisions from key players (like Tuipulotu and Telea who otherwise had very good games).

Are you guys for real? Aumua did everything right there. It was just good defence by Clarke. Like honestly, come up with one thing he could have done better.
Maybe put himself in a position where Clarke can't bat the ball out like that. Seriously, the fattest prop could have scored that.
It’s wet. You hear someone behind you, dive early and side over
Yeah, exactly.

I just don't understand the point of yellow cards. They don't work as a deterrent because every year there are more and more of them. If they are meant as a punishment for cynical play, why? A penalty is already a huge benefit - especially when penalty advantages seem almost endless. If teams receiving countless penalties and advantages aren't good enough to score, I don't think they should have another benefit. Often a yellow card is given to a team when the other team is too shit to score.
@Gunner said in Blues v Crusaders:
That hooker dived straight off his feet onto the Blues side there… how is that ok?
It's a maul. As long as he comes through the middle and doesn't take it down.
@Crazy-Horse said in The Current State of Rugby:
Five cards and counting in the one and half games I have watched today. There has got to be a better way. Who wants to watch games like these?
Fans are baying for them now as well. Sad to see.
@Canes4life said in Blues v Crusaders:
Shouldn't the ref still give the Saders a yellow there?
Definitely not. There was a card before the half which resets the yellow and only 2 penalties in the movement.

Watch League if you don’t like scrums.
I like scrums. I don't like reset scrums
Yeah 4 mins of that is boring.
Great try there.
