Stricter interpretations around the tackle in Super Rugby Aotearoa are allowing sides to ignore contesting the breakdown and fan out across the field making defences more like rugby league, Waikato Chiefs assistant coach Roger Randle has said.

Referees in the New Zealand-only competition were told to police the tackle more strictly in an effort to speed the game up and allow team's more space from which to attack.Randle, however, said the opposite seemed to have occurred and teams were now facing large numbers of defenders spread out across the field.

The Chiefs are winless in their four Super Rugby Aotearoa games, having actually won four of their six matches in Super Rugby before it was shut down in March because of the novel coronavirus outbreak.
