Super Rugby 2023 Final - Chiefs v Crusaders

[molman]

YC AL-B. Can't see it being upgraded on review. DM should be going for HIA, surely?

Can't? If that isn't a red card I'm not sure what is anymore. And agree. DM needs to get a HIA.

The O'Keefe ruck is alive and well I see

McLeod has now gone for HIA & AL-B will be back.

 

[Pokinacha]

How on earth is that a yellow? Oh that’s right, kiwis are allergic to red cards. World rugby thresholds are being ignored

Dipping. I'm sorry, that was reckless by AL-B (100% front on head on head). That just plays lip service to player welfare especially in light of the 20min replace rule.

The more you dip, the less the infringement. So if you’re horizontal and get your neck broken, play on. Makes sense

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ rightly or wrongly it's been reffed that way all season. Which may come back to bite us & you at RWC but that's another story.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Kinda ironic that after all that unnecessary/ ineffective kicking the one time WJ absolutely had to kick he gets stripped of the ball & Tribe score a few phases later.

Wrong. So very wrong with him now failing his HIA as well.

If he got the red he would possibly miss the first test wouldn't he?....

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Another nothing kick results in a turnover & almost points conceded.

O'Qweef ushering his boys to the tryline. This way lads, forward passes fine, playing it on the ground fine, don't worry I'll just ping the Chiefs for the same thing, you'll be fine.

By geez this is proper final rugby isn't it??

Exactly how I saw that first half DP. And Jacobson's YC for not on his feet when the Cru are lying all over the tackled player when in possession effectively denying the Chiefs any chance at all of competing for the ball at the breakdown. Very one sided refereeing atm.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ Jacobsen's YC was for side entry.

If Jordan catches that he likely scores with only a sweeper to beat or draws & passes for someone else to score...

 

[molman]

Now that was a nice try.

 

[Pokinacha]

Now that was a nice try.

Wallabies used to do that a lot. Not so much these days

 

[molman]

Hard to see the release there.

 

[Pokinacha]

O’Keeffe searching for a reason to deny the Chefs there. Watch now as he forgets the majority of the laws to enable the Saders back into the game

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

CruSadists dodged not so much a bullet as a 16-inch naval shell there...
