Chiefs v Blues

[Stargazer]

Apart from the Chiefs getting the points, this game has become quite meaningless because of that red card. Looking at the impact of the Blues' bench, there's no way of knowing who would have won without that RC.

Let's be honest.. Lowe was never going to try and tackle Charlie lol

[KiwiMurph]

Thats not the first back Charlie has owned.

Gah. Settle it down, Chiefs.

Blues will hopefully be a different side once all the All Blacks start. Not sold on Collins as yet.

Chiefs have stopped playing and the Blues have finally awoken.

Good work Blues for not letting this turn into a 60 point rout.

[Donsteppa]

From 41 - 9 against 14 men this is soft from the Chiefs.

Good finish here from a young side that was in shock. Looking forward to next week now.

[taniwharugby]

is a RC automatic week off?

[KiwiMurph]

Good Blues fightback. Tuipulotu has been excellent.

Credit to the Blues, good luck for the rest of the season. Chiefs looked good on attack but geez their discipline is terrible.

A man up for 40 mins and they only won by 15 points? After being up by 12 at half time?

Our bench made a huge impact, and at 41-9 all intensity went of the Chiefs.

Red card was fully deserved, but that was the end of the game. Can't tell much about either team from that game.

Thought Akira was poor in his 40. Few bad options from colins want so see one of Colin's or Duffie off backline too safe

He was working pretty hard, particularly at the ruck was unlucky not to get a few turnovers.

I wathed the first half, and agree on the Red under the new rules. No argument and stupid.

You can tell the Chiefs have Wayne Smith's DNA. Crikey the put on some good moves - real highlights reel stuff to break down defences. They are going to go OK this year I reckon.

Was impressed with Cowley-Tuioti around the field tonight. He was everywhere before getting subbed off as was Blake Gibson. For me they were eaasily our 2 best starting forwards tonight.

Pulu made a few errors but love the way he throws himself about. He keeps coming and doesn't go into his shell after a mistake.

The bench did what was expected but the game was well gone when they came on. If anything, the gametime was probably the most important thing to take out of that game for them.

Important not to let our heads drop after tonight. Must win game for us next week otherwise we'll lose too much ground on the other sides similar to last season at around this period.
