<br>
Sorry mate

[gt12]

Graham in trouble with the ref, then cane penalized again.<br><br>
Need someone who is a ref to look at that call - elbow on ground is a problem for a prop who hasn't dropped their bind?<br><br>
Anyway, 9-10 after 25 and the kings are in this so far.

<p>Free parking outside the ground, the parking wardens have a whistle and flags !</p>

[gt12]

Fuck, here we go. Seu late? No replay?<br><br>
Looks like things are going the kings way a little bit....<br><br>
12-10.

[gt12]

God I'm glad you're here Siam...<br><br>
Kings looking good but not giving any time to play the ball..<br><br>
And penalized.<br><br>
12-13 after30.

[gt12]

Chiefs kind of suddenly score?<br><br>
Great breakout from Cruden to Fisiahili.<br><br>
12-20 after 32.

[African Monkey]

<p>Chiefs starting to get into a rhythm now.</p>

[gt12]

Starting to exert some pressure and getting rewarded.<br><br>
Kings survived for the first 20 on Chiefs mistakes (plus a good scrum and maul). When Chiefs don't drop it, they are strong.<br><br>
And score!<br><br>
Cruden starting to look comfortable...<br><br>
12-27 after 36

[African Monkey]

<p>The only time the Chiefs get in trouble is by making  continuous mistakes from kick off time. Sort that out and they should win by plenty.</p>

[gt12]

But Mckenzie with a mistake, and kings take advantage.. Penalty against cane<br><br>
Nope, kicking for the corner..<br><br>
Almost pays off... <br><br>
Corner again

[gt12]

Had to happen.<br><br>
Get accurate in your own half Chiefs!!

[gt12]

Kings score via Maul.<br><br>
17-27 at half time.<br><br>
AFMon is right, kickoff time is killing the Chiefs.<br><br>
They should have far to much for the Kings, who look good around the set piece and maul.

[Stargazer]

<p>I had expected a higher score for the Chiefs by now. Are they really making so many mistakes, or is the officiating? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>If Aaron Cruden wants to come back into the All Blacks, shouldn't he do some of the goal kicking? He isn't even trying?</p>

I'd like to say a little from column a and a little from column b, but actually the ref is pretty good. Chiefs' mistakes and Kings' set piece/maul are what makes the game closish.

[gt12]

Beautiful try to Ngatai after a good ball from Cruden.<br><br>
Far easier than it should have been.<br><br>
17-34 after 44.

[African Monkey]

<p>Chiefs starting to pull away now without really having to do much.</p>

[Siam]

<p>A wee glimpse of Cruden/Ngatai combo for an easy looking try</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Think Chiefs will rock up 100 (seriously). Not so much because Chiefs are great but more that Kings = Horowhenua with a set piece</p>

[gt12]

Chiefs score on a break out and suddenly things might get ugly.<br><br>
Missed tackles and didn't look like the kings were that interested..<br><br>
17-41 after 46.
