Chiefs v Force - Mount Maunganui, 19:05 ANZAC Day

[Equalizer]

Potter got a new spell.....Shazaam!

 

[Derpus]

Yeah do something good and then have a box kick charged down and then knock on in cover

 

[Shiggins]

Too easy for the chiefs.

 

[Derpus]

Fuck thats pathetic.

 

[Shiggins]

How the hell did that conversion go over? That's deceptive

 

[dru]

That happens heaps, but why was that a scrum advantage? Force were going back but square. Did I miss someone popping?

Tight head popped I thought.

But also - this idea you can lose a scrum and not concede a penalty is a pretend rule. In reality if a scrum loses its a penalty advantage every time.

 

[Shiggins]

I just want to see the force fight a bit here. The chiefs are the team to beat this year. It's a long trip and short turnaround missing lots of 1st 15 players for the force.

 

[Shiggins]

Chiefs prop driving straight up. How is that a cheifs penalty? Chiefs stood up. Not the force!

 

[dru]

That was Cheifs #3 who popped.

 

[LeCheese]

Tizzano's been very quiet tonight

 

[Derpus]

I keep trying to explain to you that the scrum is made up. It's not a real thing that has any measurable or quantifiable outcomes.

 

[Shiggins]

Tizzano's been very quiet tonight

No he hasn't. He must of hit 40 rucks. It's been astonishing. It's like there are 3 if him

 

[Yabby]

Not that it's been the sole cause of the imminent loss tonight but that's twice this year that the force scrum has been a significant liability. The suppressed memories of the wallabies 2007 scrum are resurfacing

 

[LeCheese]

Quiet in terms of big plays / being the standout he has tended to be. Chiefs have pretty effectively shut him down.

 

[Shiggins]

It's a knock on advantage and they kicked. Advantage over.

 

[dru]

Another player I thought a little quiet is Stewart. Probably being used as an additional loosie a bit and the Chiefs not having trouble with that.

 

[Shiggins]

Quiet in terms of big plays / being the standout he has tended to be. Chiefs have pretty effectively shut him down.

They have cleaned him out very well. Force have had no ball so hard to say in attack. In defence a different story

 

[Shiggins]

Wallace. What a machine

 

[Shiggins]

BK smashed in the head in that cleanout
