Brumbies vs Chiefs

Toddy

Seemed like a weird penalty. None of the retreating players the in the way

Stargazer

TTT now also replaced.

Stargazer

Bloody hell. This is becoming a massacre. Brumbies score again.

Have alway wondered why Arnold has played so little test rugby. He has always impressed with his ball carrying and defensive maul work. When someone as average as Simmons can get so many caps, it's even more surprising.

Stargazer

I wish I could say that the Brumbies didn't deserve such a big lead, or that the ref made mistakes, but that isn't the case. The Chiefs defence is non-existent.

Absolutely brilliant! Thoroughly enjoying this game

Watching a kiwi team lose gives you joy?

Stargazer

@akan004 Was just about to ask the same question.

Stargazer

Arggghhh, the Brumbies putting more than 50 on the Chiefs.

Christchurch...

Stargazer

Brumbies 54 - 17 Chiefs

Flush the dunny and move on quickly.

Haven't watched it. Scores popping up on my watch. Is it 2002 again?

Inside word from senior management is he doesn't call lineouts, so they won't risk starting him where the bench can't do that job too.

Not an issue I understand given how simple that task seems.

@antipodean Do I need to tell my story about watching Crusaders v reds with a bunch of fluffybunnies from Waiwhakamukau North Island in Samoa on my honeymoon again? Short ending: Me and the the hotel staff had a great time, the jealous pathetic pig islanders left embarassed muttering to themselves about Justin Marshall and Reuben Thorne. They were supporting the FUCKING REDS over a kiwi team, Samoans were shocked.

KiwiMurph

As a rugby fan Brumbies scored some fucking cracking tries.

Stargazer

@KiwiMurph Yes, I agree. Just wish they hadn't scored them against a Kiwi team.

Fuck yeah!
I have far more connection to chief's ferners than I do to NZ as a whole. I'd hate New Zealand, as a collective, to feel as demoralised, devoid of hope and shit as....(insert any fern chief supporter here) does right now.

Fuck patriotism when you can imagine the likes of @mariner4life question if he actually has more time for the Brisbane Lions than his birthrite rugby team....

And all on Brodie's 100th you fluffybunnies

@Stargazer not sure you can just flush the dunny. Some changes required. McKenzie makes way too many mistakes and runs across field, so can’t see the Chiefs improving with him at 1st five. Stephenson just kicked the ball away with a meaningless grubber early on after the Chiefs had held the ball and built pressure - and then was a turnstile on defence for rest of game. That backline looked horrible. End the experiment and put Mckenzie back at full back where he doesn’t have to run the game.

Yeetyaah

My pissed off verdict on the players.

Aidan Ross - Garbage
Nathan Harris - Garbage
Nepo Laulala - ﹰMeh
Brodie Retallick Alright but not his best
Michael Allardice - Drop this dude.
Mitchell Brown - Meh
Lachlan Boshier - ﹰAlright
Tyler Ardron - Meh
Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi - Trash
Damian McKenzie - Go back to Gore
Etene Nanai-Seturo - Didn't do much, meh
Anton Lienert-Brown - ﹰBest ﹰChief on the field
Tumua Manu - Trash
Ataata Moeakiola - Scored a good try, bad on defence, meh.
Shaun Stevenson - Go play for the Blues

Reserves:
16. Samisoni Taukei’aho - Good, fuck Harris
17. Tevita Mafileo - Meh
18. Sosefo Kautai - Garbage
19. Taleni Seu - Average line out, meh
20. Mitchell Karpik - was only on for 10 mins didn't see much
21. Jonathan Taumateine - same as above
22. Orbyn Leger - Probably would have been a better starter over McKenzie
23. Bailyn Sullivan - Shit defence.

I'm shook.
