I'm not sure who else from the NZ sides plays the Stormers but they will have the benefit of the Chiefs being the guinea pigs. All the more the reason the Chiefs needed to take points from that game.
Some good watching though.The Blues play them in SA.

That was a tired effort
Not sure about that (except at the end). Chiefs payed the price for some injuries meaning they didn't go into he game well set up with some newbies being thrown out there at times plus TKB having to play 80.
The sharpness was certainly getting dull by the end.
But that's Super Rugby. Injuries etc at the wrong time can derail you easily. On the other hand sometimes you get lucky and all the shit comes when you are playing the easy sides. -

@Crucial I actually thought Bird was the quiet one of the two locks.
Fair enough. That's why I asked. I noticed Bird more than BBBR but then again I don't tend to watch the grunt work as much as I'm usually watching with a back's eyes and looking at the possibilities away from the ruck

I thought TKB was quieter than normal, didn't get to the breakdown as quick, didn't see many snipes from the base. Not his usual energetic self. I guess you could also say the pack also was a little sub-par.
Didn't they start with no halfback on the bench or have I got that wrong? If so he probably had to play a bit more paced to last the game.

Correct.
Finlay Christie was injured before the game and Alex Nankivell the Ta$man second five replaced him.

If you watch a clip of THAT try check out Beaver at the very start of the movement. He has run back behind DMac and Lowe and is just standing watching with a look as if to say WTF are you doing.
I've watched it about ten times and I just can't see that look. He just goes in behind for support and jogs a bit

It's a gif here, bloody brilliant try.

That's one of the best passes I've ever seen. Off the ground, behind the back, perfect spiral about 8-10 metres hitting the man running at full pace perfectly to put him away. Fucking outrageous, that's the kind of thing you watch rugby for.
