And Quinn Tupaea just does exactly what you shouldn't on Mo'unga, proving my point.
He's been crap. Gave away the penalty that got the Crusaders into the Chief's half straight from the kickoff and changed the momentum of the first half.

We have a maul, red in possession.
Ref says brought down by red. No penalty. So collapsing a maul is ok if you're red?
Yes, you can collapse the maul if you have the ball.
Is that in the laws?
I guess you are technically correct but it isn't bias because I have never seen in refereed that way.

Wow. Surely even Chiefs fans can appreciate that.

what a ball

@taniwharugby the line was better than the ball.

Well executed but lazy inside defence from the Chiefs fatties.

Even worse, its a replacement.

@kiwimurph line was superb too, but you need both for it to come off, how often do we see a runner take a great line but the ball carrier not able to get it to him

Only the ball carrier may go to ground. Every other player must stay on their feet.

No it’s not. I’ve never ever seen an attacking team penalised for collapsing their own maul but it looks like they could be if I’m reading the maul law correctly.

@tim said in Crusaders v Chiefs:
@bones Is there a difference between the mauling team driving through and growing to ground naturally (or the ball carrier going to ground), and the mauling team's non-ball-carriers pulling the maul down?
I reckon there should be, in situations like this one where red took it down to avoid a turnover.

Haha why is Ta'avao still on the field?
How he became an AB is beyond me.

@gt12 One of Steve Hansen's masterstrokes during the end of his tenure....

@dice Was he ever a good scrummager?
