Blues really miss Akira and Sotutu.

It's crazy how bad Beauden is

He actually makes Blues worse

And no one will say a word

Sullivan's boot would be handy.

You have to give credit to the Chiefs - made most of the play in the first half but go in behind. It's easy to wilt in those circumstances, but they have kept up the pressure in the second half. Strong defence as well when they needed it. The bench and yellow card were the turning points.

Fair play to the Chiefs, their bench has made the difference.

Yep. Ratima to 9 and DMac moving to 10 has been the difference.

Both overrated according to the south islanders.

[gt12]

I’m very impressed by the impact of the returning ABs from the bench. Vaa’ii has been excellent.

[Yeetyaah]

Mark Tele'a fell off

[gt12]

That’s a good kick Dmac

[Machpants]

Oh look you can actually kick the ball long into touch

Not tonight no.

[Yeetyaah]

Up the fucking Chiefs cheeeehooooo

[antipodean]

You can't carry Choat and Segner in place of Sotutu and Ioane, while relying on good decisions from Christie and Barrett, and hope to dominate territory and possession.

[KiwiMurph]

Well done Chiefs

About how I expected the game to go

[gt12]

Tipping schmipping.
Fantastic start and an engaging game of footy.
You’d think both of these teams will be strong playoff teams.

[African Monkey]

Fair play Chiefs, could this be your year?

[Mattasaurus]

Huge amount of penalties from the Blues tonight - BB just like he does to the ABs - kicks possession away far too much.

Chiefs played well fwds were very good and I thought Tupaea played particularly well - - but game changed with Ratima to 9 and Dmac to 10 imo

[Duluth]

13-6 penalty count the difference. Too much easy possession
