Chiefs v Highlanders

[taniwharugby]

@stargazer he did show some pace, but I'm not sure Nareki has alot of top end, more acceleration over that first 10-20

[Machpants]

That was an awful kick

[Bones]

That should happen to every team that tries a dinky chip in the 22 when you have a man advantage.

[Yeetyaah]

Sheesh Lowe nearly got him

[KiwiMurph]

One of the reasons why Bryn Gatland is on his third Super franchise....

[Steven Harris]

@stargazer especially when you see the head start he gave Nareki

[taniwharugby]

both 10's look to be struggling

[Stargazer]

@taniwharugby Yeah, Josh Ioane very disappointing. I wonder who is going to be subbed off later. Him or Hunt? Hunt has been better.

[African Monkey]

@kiwimurph The Chiefs could have put the game to bed even by taking the 3 to start with.

[Winger]

Gatland doing his bit to help his former team out

[Stargazer]

That looked dangerous.

[Gunner]

That’s a card surely?

[Stargazer]

Ah Kuoi should have passed to Lowe ...

[Gunner]

How was that allowed to play on, without even a penalty. Goes against everything we’ve seen regarding a player in the air for the past few seasons...

[Stargazer]

@gunner Yes, although I think I heard him ask the TMO to have a look at it (not sure).

[Steven Harris]

Highlanders would have to be happy this scoreline going into halftime despite the 2 cards

[antipodean]

Can the players not hear the halftime siren over the crowd noise?

[KiwiMurph]

Smart play by Highlanders to work the sin bin clock down after the halftime hooter.

[taniwharugby]

@gunner wasnt it from a pass?

I really struggle if your player passes the ball so shittily and then you have to jump for it to see why that should earn a penalty, or worse, a card.

Very happy. Chiefs easily the better team so team so far, Lowe looking super rugby level so far. Gatland. OK then bad
