Stormers vs Chiefs

Karpik is too small for me. He often gets outmuscled at the breakdown.

I think you are wrong.

Wasn't Henwood a chief? From what I've seen this season he would have been been the better one to keep.

[Stargazer]

Very average first half. One try to ALB and a penalty to the Stormers. And a lot of errors. Why kick from 55-60 metres at the end? That was clearly beyond Dmac's range; they should have gone for the line-out. HT: Stormers 3 - 5 Chiefs

[Stargazer]

Wow, really bad officiating. First obstruction from the Chiefs not spotted, and then Stormers penalised for jumping too quickly in the line-out while it was in fact a Chiefs player jumping first.

[Nepia]

Chiefs are looking average ... as expected.

Fa’auli is such a dumb player. He went in to do a clean out when there was no tackle and just blew past the player he should have been supporting.

[Stargazer]

Anyway, Chiefs are playing better, so should now be able to get back the lead. Scrum close to the Stormers' try line.

[Stargazer]

@nepia It's worrying, because if they play like this with their ABs, how are they going to play without their ABs next week?

They don’t have the depth this year, they need Cane and Rettalick to both be playing to put in good performance.

Shitty pass from ALB - or was it Stevenson?

[Stargazer]

@nepia Stevenson.

[Nepia]

Damn, we won a scrum penalty try with Prattley!😄

[ShadowTrooper]

@stargazer I'm hoping a damn sight better.....

[ShadowTrooper]

Chiefs doing it tough, but love the big boppers getting involved

[ShadowTrooper]

Fucken forward pass or fucken knock-0n - which is it then you fucken muppets

[Nepia]

That was class by Stevenson even if it doesn’t count.

[Nepia]

Brodie Retallick was awesome in that last few minutes - in fact the Chiefs played that well, didn't over commit in rucks until they had the chance to pilfer and won the penalty.

I'll take the win.

[Stargazer]

Well, that was a forgettable game. But a win's a win.

[ShadowTrooper]

Yesssssssss season saved........until next week

[ARHS]

@nepia

Yes, thank goodness for Brodie - the standout. Worried about next week without him though!

[Rebound]

@shadowtrooper TMO didn't want to embarras the referee there. Referee rules no try knock on. TMO answers no clear evidence of knock on, stay with on filed decision (which he then makes up) forward pass.

Could he just not have said, no knock on but a forward pass. But clearly there neither was clear evidence of that as well. Just a f up and worrying trend.
