QF Chiefs v Blues

[Mr Fish]

Chiefs are contesting quite a few breakdowns and have probably been a little bit unlucky to not get more reward.

Generally dislike 'you're on the body' because the only reason that happens is because the tackled player has squeezed the ball under them.

[Yeetyaah]

Geez what a grind

[Mr Fish]

Very good start to the half for the Blues. Haven't really had to defend yet.

[KiwiMurph]

That was brilliant by Narawa again

[Bones]

Love the ceremonial knee bend by Angus

[Chris B.]

Not sure about taking the three here. Haven't been down the attacking end much.

[Canes4life]

The thing the Chiefs are clearly missing is a genuine fetcher at the breakdown.

Right decision. Chiefs defense is strong.

Think this game is showing how important Jacobson is to them. Boshier is doing a good job but LJ is a step up

[Steven Harris]

This talk about Fusitua being in the ABs frame is way off the mark

100%. Boshier is too lanky to be a 7 IMO.

This is the problem.

You give the 3 right back

Blues need tries

Looks AB level in the loose

Scrum - not yet

[antipodean]

Harsh call when his opposite literally folds without taking the pressure. Fusitu'a will get better with more experience.

To be fair, I think Vaa'i, Ah Kuoi and Norris are all very adept non loose forwards.

The 7 that has disappointed me has been Papalii

A tackling machine but he just doesn't offer enough

I agree, but points are at a premium. I still think 3 was the right call.
