Chiefs vs Highlanders

[Tim]

@Crucial Didn't realise he was injured.

Is the guy from Waikato not available?

[Nepia]

It's a pity that Hong Kong Donald turned up and not RWC final Donald.

@Bones

I think the problem is that he’s playing at FB. I dunno why they did that.

[gt12]

This is so frustrating, I think it paints the picture of what this year will be like for the Chiefs - potential spoilers. That’s about it.

I don't see why Marshall is getting hate for saying someone should not be forced to leave the field for a complete accident. If cards worked, wouldn't there be less head collisions now and less cards?

No one is available. Beaver straight from the couch to the game

[Nepia]

So I didn't expect a win in the lead up, but then when the Chiefs were up I thought they were going to walk it, now I'm going to pissed off with the loss.

Yep. Sums it up for me too.

[Bones]

Do these morons not know that you can also turn it over from a scrum?

Yep, looks like a ‘rebuilding for 2020/speculating about Colin Cooper’s job’ year already...

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Well that's the definition of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Ridiculous.

THIS!!!

[Bones]

Fucken eh! Even with all these shit loosies that never ever deserve to take a rugby field, a win away from home with hometown in charge!

[Stargazer]

Josh Ioane's boot basically won it for the Landers.

[Tim]

Well, the Chiefs 1st choice backline will cut anyone up, but boy they'd better hope no one else gets injured.

Because he carries on like a prize chook continually making adamant statements as fact then changing them, then carrying on even more.
I agree with your point about a RC for an accident but, sloppy technique that causes actual head injuries is what is being ruled on.

[SammyC]

Thought Luke Whitelock had a great second half. A very underrated player

[Tim]

Good for my tipping, but what a collapse.

[98blueandgold]

A Smith and bench won game just as Chiefs bench maybe cost them? Smith just brought direction and attitude missing with Hammington n Ioane together

[mariner4life]

Nothing fucks me off more than your last chance being snuffed out by an appalling line out. Uncontested as well.

Highlanders ability to control the ball for the last 10 was impressive.
