Chiefs v Waratahs

Bovidae

@Unco I'm not disagreeing with your comment, just pointing out that Hika wasn't the only player missing from the 23 this weekend.

@Rugger-Quizzes Beaver has only played about 60 games for Waikato. I'm sure he will be involved this year.

Number 10

According to Rugby Almanack, Donald has played 22 for Counties Manukau and 60 for Waikato.

Interview with Beaver

Unco

Always seemed to me like Beaver's form was heavily tied to his confidence before he left but ever since he came back, he's been consistently awesome. Seems like he stopped giving a shit about the background noise and is just enjoying playing.

Noone watching?

@booboo Hooper is getting smacked around at ruck time a bit eh!

Any chiefs player with "ow" is having a cracker so far.

Bones

And any player with a "Damian McKenzie"

What a great Chiefs try.

Bates is a woeful commentator.

Bones

@KiwiMurph interesting that he put the chiefs recent scrum ascendency down to Harris though.

Just not as exciting as the Saders v Landers game. Predictable scoreline & result.

Bones

Latu should be in trouble here...

On balance this season, I reckon McKenzie > Jordie Barrett.

Not for the ABs but Super Rugby form: Havili > McKenzie

Must have been difficult to find a headset to fit him.

KiwiMurph

@Stargazer Havili wasnt very good today.

Stargazer

@KiwiMurph It was about "On balance this season", not just today's game.

Chiefs have done well capitalizing on opportunities - less territory, more missed tackles, about the same number of turnovers, but they've made the Tahs pay when they've had chances.

gt12

Holy shit.

Chiefs going mad. Forward pass though I reckon

30 - 3 with the kick to come.

KiwiMurph

On form Aaron Smith would be the 3rd halfback in the ABs behind Perenara and Kerr Barlow.

gt12

32-3 after 45.

McKenzie & TKB on fire. Lowe good too.
