Cancelled my sky package today.
When asked "can you tell us your reasons".
Was too hard to explain, "I kept it on out of laziness and news of NZ only SR, so thought I'd be loyal. But chiefs wearing pink in first game back reminded me of the tribal nothingness of modern professional rugby, killed my initial enthusiasm and I didn't even end up putting sport back on."
Mumbled something about rain fade instead.

Big duds have been the Chiefs. I blame Gatland. Apart from that Super Rugby Aotearoa has been
.Surprised and pleased that Hurricanes are still contenders at this stage of the competition.

yeah, good one
A team that isn't winning, but has losing margins of 1, 12, 5, 7, 2, & 4 aren't contributing to a good set of games
uppercut yourself

I see @mariner4life has beat me to it, but they are not as bad as the record suggests. May yet tip up a contender...

@mariner4life agreed, our two games against the chiefs have been epic and both decided by tiny details

In the defence of the chiefs...to have no Brodie Retallick ,Tyler Adron and Micheal Allardice ..in the middle row, and to ask loose Forward type locks Who looked no taller than Sam Cane and a rookie in Vaai..to patch that area is a massive ask in anybody’s book...
I have sympathy, but on saying that ,it comes back to the coaches who select the squad..there were some really good locks omitted from super rugby that are genuine lineout ball winners ..Sam Caird ,Geoff Cridge and Tom Parsons come to mind .. -

The flankers and locks were all the same height.

Missing 2 AB props also hasn't helped. What should have been a strength hasn't panned out that way.

@mariner4life Lots of people before the tournament tipped the Chiefs to win, there was lota of hype about them, most people thought they'd outperform the Hurricanes and the Highlanders, on paper their squad looks great. They haven't met pre-season expectations. That was my point.

Agree with that. Think the Chiefs will trip up a contender.
