Chiefs v Highlanders

[Bones]

@stargazer yeah kicked it into his own player. And the pass came from Whitelock.

[Bones]

Fucking commentators curse. Going on about the brilliant defence and it turns to utter shit.

[Stargazer]

Man, this is intense!

[Donsteppa]

Great clearance by Ngatai. Put it far enough over the sideline too.

[Duluth]

Nick White in the Chiefs box.. has he been added to their coaching staff?

[Donsteppa]

Then DMac with a custard boot clearance. But the day is saved by the Chiefs lineout.

[Donsteppa]

Yesss!!! 27 - 22 to the Chiefs.

[Nepia]

Sheesh, the Highlanders line out was like the early century AB team there.

[Bones]

Inaccuracy at the breakdown proving costly for the second week in a row. Bloody frustrating.

No more players playing their hundredth against us please.

[KiwiMurph]

@bones tough when you lose Lima so early.

Really was not impressed by Weber. TTT should be given a shot as starting 9 in big games.

[Bones]

@kiwimurph thought Fletcher Smith stood up well, the winning of the game was there, just forwards being lazy cost us.

@duluth Thought I heard/saw something the other day about scrum coaching?

Yep, a bit of the shit being heaped on DMac can be traced back to his lack of time from fielding Weber's wayward passes.

Hope he regains his form before the NPC.

Who is the forwards coach?

[gt12]

My plan to sacrifice my tipping for chiefs win paid off! I was super impressed that they held on to that.

[Bones]

@crucial very good point.

Spacco

Coincidently, I heard that term for the first time in years earlier today. Must be making a comeback.

Great tussle, solid viewing. My laws knowledge is rooted, with the last in-goal ruck do the Chiefs need to retreat to behind hindmost feet? There's a couple of in-goal situations where all bets are off. Either way, Spacco Jacko ignored the Chiefs massive side entries, as usual, and got his lads home in the end

You literally cannot have an in-goal ruck or maul. Players stop being part of it when they cross the line (and it ends completely if the ball crosses).

Goal line is always the off side line.

Pretty much the only time you can be off side in goal is when your own side kicks.

McKenzie was excellent bar a couple of charge downs. Should have the AB 10/15 super sub role nailed.

Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi: reckon he has an excellent chance of getting that 3rd AB 9 spot. Looks a better play than Weber IMO
