Highlanders v Chiefs

[ACT Crusader]

This is great to watch. Great buzz at the ground and both teams playing better than I expected.

Lots of penalties but again that’s probably not unexpected either.

[Yeetyaah]

@Bones nah someone said he's having a good game, and I said even though he gave away a penalty. I got it wrong and said I was wrong.

[Jailbreak7]

If only the Chiefs could make something of the man advantage

[gt12]

This interpretation of the ruck, with the arriving player attacking the ball, Isn’t working.

[sparky]

Paul Williams must have spent the lockdown dreaming of taking Ray Megson's record for most whistles during 80 minutes of a Rugby match.

[Bones]

Highlanders getting away with a lot of high tackles.

[gt12]

Not being able to break them down with one man up really shows that we’re in trouble.

I have one more steiny left though, so who cares?

[Bones]

Happy, happy, three happys. Brilliant.

[antipodean]

@Yeetyaah not whining about that being forward?

[WillieTheWaiter]

fuck rugbys annoying to watch when your opposition commits no one to the ruck but you don't try and commit anyone but hitting it up through the forwards. need to suck some defenders in before playing touch rugby out wide.

[Yeetyaah]

@antipodean one for one I'll take it

wtf going on with sky not showing any replays of the breakdown before pens.. just show players walking to lineouts or lining up kicks.. odd.

I think they've been trying to show less replays of that over the past couple of years to try to reduce complaints about the referees

makes it fucking hard to understand the new rules if i can't see what they're getting pinged for

There aren't any new rules at the breakdown. WR just ordered refs to enforce the existing laws strictly to see what happens. It's worth a try.

"Yeah, look. We haven't been reffing properly, for quite some time now. So, thanks to a pandemic we've decided we'll do what is expected of us. Sorry for that bit where we just didn't ref the rules, but all sweet now eh."

7 mins for Walden....

[Donsteppa]

One of these teams has the Hammateur in their coaching box, and the other team has the greatest ever rugby coach in theirs.

And yet..

[Bones]

That's the game.

[WillieTheWaiter]
