Chiefs really need to not blow this bonus point
But they do. Disgraceful really from 42-0

Highly entertaining game, if thoroughly unprofessional from both teams to only front for a half each. Chiefs deservedly losing their bonus point.

I like the Chiefs wingers, always something happening when they get the ball.

22-45. Lots of points, not a lot of quality
There was some great quality. Some rubbish too, but some very good play in first half.
ALB and Messam showed class. ALB especially was working hard on getting his hands past the tackle to set those outside him free. Just the kind of distribution that cracks defences.
Messam looks like he would still do a proud 60 minutes in black. So much better than Luke of the Whitelocks.

Blues being crap doesn’t mean other teams get away with pissing away bonus points

Was a very good game from Messam, but the defence from both sides was very poor at times. That’s what I was referring to regarding the lack of quality.
Was basically a game of touch

I disagree. You sound like Stephen Jones. Yes, defensive lapses, but many were caused by created situations or good lines. Chiefs were quite clinical in making the right decisions at speed in the first half. That makes any defence look poor

Missed tackles, slow line speed, lethargy from the Clan. It was laughable, even the Clan fans on the thread were getting stuck into them
When they upped their effort in the second half the Chiefs scored three points.

I enjoyed the win but coming third in the NZ conference could be worse than fourth. Would you rather play the Canes/Saders or Rebels in your first knockout game?

Tahs beat the Rebels on Friday to pretty much wrap up the Aussie conference.

I'm not going to repeat comments but that was a truely bizarre game to watch.
What I will say is, why do teams think they will be able to get away with a 7-man scrum? The odds are you will be under pressure, particularly on your own defensive feed. The first objective has to be to stop conceding a turnover at the source. The Chiefs gifted the Highlanders a try but doing exactly that when they had two loosies locking the scrum. Dumb.
