Chiefs v Highlanders
-
Iām still trying to understand why, with only that much time left, they decided to kick for goal, knowing that it would still be a two score game.
Somethingās a bit rotten at the Chiefs; weāve been on the slide to the worst NZ side since Rennie left (is there one big signing since he left?) and Iām starting wonder if last year was rock bottom.
Honestly, would that team come close to another NZ team?

RennieRetallick leftIt has certainly become clear that he and Cane were carrying the team since 2017.

Nareki with 178 carry metres.
When Nareki scored his first try, just, after nearly being run down by Lowe, I was thinking why the fuck is TJ knocking one out over him? Well, I got that thought 100% wrong.

@nepia it's funny I thought TJ was getting all Crusaderish over the Chiefs tonight.
"OH THAT'S A STUNNING PIECE OF BRILLIANCE FROM GATLAND!!!!!"

I was in the kitchen when he scored that try and it was like TJ was standing next to me, I had to turn the volume down when I rewinded it and watched the real time try.
Also, I know you're lying when you include the words stunning, brilliance and Gatland in the same sentence and claim someone actually said that.

Sean Wainui has always been utterly shithouse at 13, so why the fuck was he starting instead of Nankivell or Tupaea?
-
@stargazer Thanks, should've seen that. Still, Nankivell would've been a much better option.

Well ruck me that was nice to come home too
Shit nareki just being shit aye?
Got a bit of time in front of the tv over the next 7-8 weeks so might be re watching that

@kiwiwomble hahaha faaaaark off. I'm stopping the Nareki slander. Good win, well deserved.

Ha! Loved that! Frizell was huge! He is just getting better every season.

I thought Frizell went well too. I do like how he plays.

I've just seen the Nareki highlights. Some disgraceful defence.
No half competent team should give up that many straight points to go from a great position to well beaten.
We're fucked.

I like it how the āsafeā 10 goes off after contributing strongly to us losing us the game, so now weāll have to chase it.
Gatland is just not good enough at this level

We have to endure JGB so come on have some sympathy for them. We know how Nepia and the Chiefs supporters must be feeling!

And we have ioane who can be very hit an miss...maybe everyoneās expectations are a bit high, there are only so many Barrettās

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?

Simply because his arm only went up when he was tackled around the ankles and falling forward toward an on coming player. It was instinct to protect his head. These rules are all about player safety but a player isnt allowed to protect themselves from potential injury. Ioane ran into his arm not the arm running into Ioane.
