Chiefs v Highlanders

[Stargazer]

@yeetyaah No, he was already walking back, so hadn't thought about it until Smith did.

[antipodean]

Perhaps the problem wasn't Garland's coaching.

[KiwiMurph]

It's not all doom and gloom for the Chiefs. They looked bloody useful first half.

Amazing second half Landers.

[Bones]

I don't understand how him being tackled is mitigation for that. What...so it would have been better if he hit him in the head?

[taniwharugby]

Chiefs cant buy a trick the last 50 mins!

Not sure many woulda had the HIghlanders winning this, let alone 16 points

Roe has looked really good.

[Yeetyaah]

@antipodean yeah it's the shitty forwards with no hustle or support play.

I’m not sure why people wanted captain’s challenges.

More opportunity for someone to play music at the ground.

[gt12]

Well, fuck, time to get drunk.

Good on the landers, some great play - one man looks like the difference, but the Chiefs lack of set piece and accuracy is the more worrying one.

Dmac to 10 next week

[Yeetyaah]

Well done Highlanders. Chiefs with a dogshit first half. Nareki really good, I'm done talking shit about him.

Gatland gives away Dmac errors so we may as well have the mercurial brilliance as well.

Sio Tomkinson talking smack while at the breakdown.

@antipodean Dmac got the Chiefs to the semis a few years back. If you seriously think Gatland is a better choice at 10 I don't know what to say.

Garland, as limited as he is, is at least somewhat predictable. We've enough evidence of DMac running around like a headless chicken to see he doesn't have the vision or temperament to play there. Given more time at fullback he can demonstrate his skills.

Fucken hell do you only lurk to respond to DMac posts?

[Canes4life]

I think the Chiefs are really missing someone like Rettalick. Someone that takes no shit, takes the lead and just gets stuck into his work.

Seems like the Chiefs are the new Blues and just can’t buy a trick.

[Tim]

@canes4life Yeah, there's no effective mongrel in the tight five.
