Chiefs vs Hurricanes 28-06-13

[ACR]

Go Hurricanes!

17-12 now. Great game so far. Some good tries. Barrett doing the twinkle toes, Cruden running things for the Chiefs. Some stand out players on both sides.

Special shoutout to TJP, painfully injured and runs back 70 metres and completes a tackle.

TJP>TKB!

Geez was impressed when TJP limped back that far in defence and made tackle ACR. Bloody entertaining game.

 

[ACR]

Chiefs just putting the shove on early.. although they are dominating the scrum regardless (and set piece).

Chiefs 20-15 Hurricanes, 57:00 gone.

 

[ACR]

Let's be frank, Messam is always taking out people 'in the vicinity of a ruck'. Fair enough that one but it is a big part of his and the Chiefs game.

 

[ACR]

27-15 to the Chiefs, going for a 4 try bonus with 8 to go.

 

[ACR]

FT 34-22 to the Chiefs. Just too much strength off the bench, dominated the set pieces. Hurricanes were good in the first half but just couldn't hang on.

 

[Dan54]

Sums it up ACR, bloody good game, I pretty happy to see the 2 No 10s playing such good rugby, By geez that was a bit of power shown by Ben Tamefuna in his try, he looked bloody good in scrums to.

 

[FrankLind]

The Chiefs win made that much harder for the Brumbies to top the conference - though the Chief's last two games are tough ones away.

I think either the Chiefs or Bulls top the table.

 

[Sully]

He's right! Fix it up FrankLind

 

[cyclopath]

Fixed.
Move on .
Nothing to see here.

 

[FrankLind]

My apologies. Probably not a good nickname for a team.

Highlanders vs Crusaders

What's the law here?

An attacker gets tackled on top of a pile of bodies from the previous ruck, the ball won't come out and the ball is up so no one has to release. I believe the attacking side should get the ball as it's unplayable and it's not a collapsed maul. Steve Walsh just gave the ball to the defending side.

Completely correct. He made about 3 or 4 of those weird decisions. Highlanders, same problems. Slade can't kick, Bekhuis plays with the ability of a tree, Nonu does something stupid. Oh well.
