That was 12-5.
So frustrated with the Reds, coach Les Kiss admitted he almost stopped Captain Fraser McWright from speaking to media after the match in a bid to protect him from saying something he shouldn't.
Do you think the referee costs the Reds this game?
Great to see him coming right at the right time as well, because he's a guy that has had these injury issues coming through.
And so to see him building towards July in a season where he's going to need to take it to the next level if the All Blacks are going to achieve what they want to.
this year but yeah back on the Uru thing I personally I think that it just sort of came down to when unfortunate timing because it was on halftime and they just sort of made his call and they all ran off the field had it been a little bit earlier maybe it would have been a bit different but then again
The Reds can look at when Harry Wilson threw the ball away with the line wide open.
That's a try that should have been scored as well.
So I think there was, while they can probably point the referee and feel a little bit aggrieved, you know, Geoff Toomung-Allen, his yellow was so obvious that Tupou Vai managed to usher him off the field.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Well, yeah, I'm sure there might be a few people in Brisbane that might be disagreeing with you.
Well, importantly for the Chiefs, those two results on the Friday night sees them and the Blues swap places.
They're now up into second, five points behind the Hurricanes who we're going to talk about in a minute.
So a reasonably important result for them.
Also for the Reds,
They're now down in sixth and maybe in a bit of trouble.
But anyway, the Highlanders, Saturday night, had pretty much a do or die game against the Waratahs.
Ended up 31-26.
A game they were leading 28-7 at one point.
Couple more refereeing adventures in this one.
