Waikato vs Counties
-
This is no excuse for our poor play but Fraser has a big blindspot when it comes to players in front of the ball at the breakdown. Every ruck the Mooloo players just walk past the ball with a vague finger on the bodies and keep walking into the CM players

@Crucial pretty common these days with most team setting up their blockers. Refs need to start pinging them for it. I did hear him warning Waikato to get behind the ball.
Yeah, I just find it weird that 'blockers' is even part of the rugby language when, by law, there is no way you can set up in a blocking position. There are clear laws on offside and being bound to a ruck and these can easily be seen and enforced, yet they get ignored.

Just got back from the game. I'm happy with the win and 5 pts after Waikato let C-M back into the game in the 2nd half. It did seem like whoever had the ball would score though .
Strange tactics by C-M, and in particular Pulu, with those long kicks.
Beaver got a good applause when he left the field.
Very impressed with Sullivan up close. This kid looks to have a big future.
Manihera is playing well too and scoring tries for fun.

@Bovidae Do you think he will replace Sanders at the Chiefs?
Luke Jacobson is probably that replacement 6/8 and Tyler Ardron was signed earlier.
So far we have:
Cane
Boshier
Karpik
Messam
Brown
Jacobson
Ardron
