Ratima on the wing, Sititi in the midfield. 6:2 doesn't always work

[Victor Meldrew]

Welcome back Wallace....!

Actually Boshier has gone to wing instead on Sititi in midfield lol

[Donsteppa]

Half century up

[Steven Harris]

Sititi raised the skill level in the time he’s been on the field
All the touches spot on

[Yeetyaah]

Cricket score on a cricket ground

[Victor Meldrew]

Jacomb has been really solid tonight. Ran the game well.

[Steven Harris]

Parker an upgrade on Finau
Really not sure what the AB coaching sees in Finau

From limited viewing, I really like the look of Parker!

[Machpants]

Force put back in their place. Hurricanes shown how shit they are this year, too

Apert from when he picked up ball at back of scrum, he was good.

@Chris-B just does his basics well great lineout option as well
Finau was supposed to be the guy who replaced Frizzell but for me all those hits on small outside backs has not need been seen on bigger bodies .

[MajorPom]

When the Chiefs played well, they really played well. Certainly a whole lot of downsides but an absolutely crazy game. Hard to believe that the Force are a mid table team, given the scoreline.

Echo the comments about Turunui, great addition to the comm's team. Seems a very knowledgeable, yet very humble, bloke.

Great to see Sititi back. Straight back into it.

[Bovidae]

I hope Tupaea is OK as the Chiefs don't look to be having ALB for a while.

Happy with the 5 pts and kudos to the scrum.

If stats are recent/accurate Parker is a smidge bigger than Finau and seems to have a good workrate from my limited viewing.

Tizzano was very quiet

[African Monkey]

Was impressed with Jacomb.

Norris put himself into the AB conversation tonight for the 3rd LH prop position. He can be a really good ball-carrier so just whether Ryan rates him in the scrum.

[booboo]

@Grooter have to upvote ... but ... yeah

A Tom Vinicombe 2022 post suggested him as a running prop contender but not sure if the AB coaches considered him then; and a shame Black Dragon isn't here to say he should be an 8 (because he was one !)
