Waratahs v Chiefs - Friday 11 April 2025

How the fuck is that a yellow card

 

[cyclopath]

Fucking ridiculous. That is about as illegal a tackle attempt as you can get - high, going higher, lead with shoulder...

 

[Adam84]

Thank fuck

tbf I enjoyed the Reds losing last week. Loled at HMP stuffing it at the last second on his run

i dont ever want a kiwi team to beat an Australian, Tahs or not.

So direct shoulder to head tackles with no arms are only a yellow now? Even the usual cohort of ref apologists on here won’t be able to defend this nonsense

 

[Tomthumb]

What mitigation?

Being a kiwi

That was always my opinion till a couple weeks ago with all the hate. Said I’d change and sadly I have now.

Tuned in late, starting from moments before Foketi's disallowed try.

What the everlasting fuck was that about? It's bias or incompetence, either way heads need to roll for these continuous refereeing cock ups.

 

[Derpus]

That clothesline was as obvious a straight red as you’ll see. Ref needs to be suspended for saying “attempt to wrap”

Yeah that was straight off and the fluffybunny couldnt even call a penalty live. Dudes a fucken dud.

100%. Such a weird attitude to have.

Wasn’t that just 1 or 2 individuals?

Mitigated to yellow due to JAS having mega nuts of iron and just brushing the hit off.

 

[Qwertyrick]

Yellow card lol, should have been sent off ffs

 

[Heavyd]

We were disallowed a fair try and they score off a 2m forward. Then a red card is a yellow. This ref won’t make it out of this stadium alive

 

[Th0mo]

Can we defund James Leckie?

 

[iLove Rugby]

Fantastic performance by Joseph Sua'ali'i

 

[griffins]

Huge challenge for tahs now. Clearly their best 40 minutes of the year but multiple calls going against them limites the lead to 7 points. Cant expect the chiefs to be that poor again, tahs need to be as good again at a minimum.

Side note - Suallii has some league c**t in him which to be honest I love when it's controlled as it has been so far. Also he's fucking good.

Tahs hooker pretty good bar one miss on Jacobsen before his forward pass for the try. Ideally he can go deep and keep the set piece on track.

 

[A mutterer]

Greatly pains me to say but the Tahs do play an attractive brand of expansive running rugby.

Mods, please delete this post before anyone reads it.

Tahs need to finish off their breaks. Two clean breaks and the ball carrier made no attempt to set up their support players

youve got to think that's going to be upgraded to an off field red on review.

Probably. Yes I’m being a petty bitch. Very aware.

They’ll appear if/when the Tahs get behind in this game.
