Interesting match. Both teams chasing the knock-out stage in their respective national competitions.

Shocking, bias refereeing against the Chiefs, absolutely no enforcing of the offside rule so constant infringement and Stade players lying all over the ball unpenalised before Mieres drop goal attempt. Sad to see a team lose like that.

as a racingmetro fan, i think you're biased.

Admittedly I only saw about 20mins all told of this match, but I don't think the ref was that bad.
One decision that perplexed me was: Chiefs winger kicked through, chased the ball, dived on the ball, referee pinged him for going off his feet at the ruck despite there being no ruck.
