Chiefs v Blues

African Monkey

Segner looks far better tonight so far.

Machpants

DMac so brave and actually effective in defence for his size

Frank

Cam Christie is very enthusiastic.

African Monkey

Good reward for the Blues. Despite being behind, they've been much better this week.

antipodean

Nice by Nock - change of direction allowed Evans to throw the pass to Lam. Christie wouldn't have done that.

Machpants

That was a shitty pass and very lucky not 7 at the other end

Machpants

Then shitty pass to DMac who nailed it

African Monkey

Hah! It felt like DMac dropped that pass on purpose, just to let the defenders run past the ball.

African Monkey

Great finish Telea.

African Monkey

Been very impressed with our youngsters Christie and Taele. It might not be our year this year, but nice to see some decent youngsters coming through.

Dan54

Early days, but like this kid at 12 for the Blues.

ARHS

Am at the match. Some poor kicking from Nock has let Chiefs off the hook in first half. Great contest though.

KiwiMurph

Pleased with the Blues first half all things considered

Plummer looks better with Nock at 9

Taele sharp at 12

Fun game

Blues discipline is a worry

For some reason, I don't mind us giving a few penalties away as it's showing that we're at least trying to put pressure on at breakdown, unlike last weeks pathetic attempt.

@KiwiMurph really impressed with Cam Christie his size and physical presence for a 20 year old is impressive
Brilliant lineout option as well
For me he has a higher ceiling than Suafoa or Segner as a number 6 option moving forward
Sufua is too in and out of a game for my liking
If i was looking at end of year tour Christie would have a boarding pass ahead of some imo

How is that not a penalty try?

Fully agree.

Man we look a lot better with the 2 Northlanders Nock and Evans in there.

KiwiMurph

Well done Corey Evans. Way to step up

Finally Blues use the advantage

antipodean

@Canes4life The existence of a defender on that side I suppose.

YC alone doesn't seem harsh enough.

KiwiMurph

@Steven-Harris Agreed with C Christie having the frame and game that stands out above some other Blues loosies
