Last game of the round robin.

I hadn’t appreciated that the Blues can’t now win, even with 5 points. As it’s not based on points diff as a decider, it’s on number of wins.

Chiefs changing huge chunk of team for resting for the finals.

The term is not "double movement", it is not releasing the ball in the tackle before getting back to your feet.

Bergamasco would have been ashamed to throw that pass.

I’d have thought the blues would have torn them a new one. But as Tana says, playing in the wrong part of the field.

He picks up the ball in front of the guy who dropped it. It has to be knock on AND off side.

It wasn’t a knock on. The TMO even said that. But as a result, there is no offside line created.

But it’s the “no knock on” call I think was wrong. I have to see it again.

Perhaps.

But the TMO logic was wrong, and ref shouldn’t have been allowed to proceed, especially when it was specifically challenged .

Yeah the whole thing was a mess on every level. Starting from TTT’s pass. The reffing shambles was somehow even worse.

Chiefs possibly deserve the lead in this game despite being depleted.

Amazing how this team has transformed from the gutter,specifically without Warren Gatland.

Yeah. Seen it again,. It’s a knock on and off side.

Whatever the logic, justice was served.

Unbelievable to think the Chiefs got through to final with a -43 PD.

Not sure - in a captains referral, they have to be very specific about what is being referred. In this case it was the knock on and the referral should not have extended to offside.

In my view it was neither. The ball went backwards (the player went further backwards in a tackle to create the illusion) or was too close to call.

It was a weird one, alright. Well, here we are. Request permission to join the Chiefs army supporters on a short term, one week basis. I’d love to see those dirty Crusaders bastards go down in flames.
