Chiefs v Blues

[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

[Canes4life]

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

[antipodean]

Great step back on the inside by Evans. He's having an excellent game.
