Chiefs v Rebels

[gt12]

@kiwimurph said in Chiefs v Rebels:

Tupaea doesn't have a left foot

That was shocking.

Why go to all that work to set him up for it when he clearly doesn’t have a left foot to use it?

I dont see why they insist on playing him on the wing anyway.

[gt12]

Mafileo really unimpressed.

Had a chance to take 3 points kill a couple of minutes ,but nooo..

[Yeetyaah]

Trask bad

[broughie]

So are you not allowed to hold someone up on the tackle anymore to win an advantage?. I see the ref calls tackle and you have to release.

That was pretty stupid captaincy, but Jacobson has been shit all day.

[gt12]

Is it just me, or does Toomua look like a chick with the headgear on?

[Yeetyaah]

At least we won't lose here but man I'm disappointed.

[KiwiMurph]

For a dead rubber this has been a fun watch.

Some great attack from both teams.

[gt12]

Without Dmac and Cane the Chiefs look like an NPC side.

[Yeetyaah]

Quinn Tupaea had been shit. That pass was also forward from the Rebels but whatever.

[Stargazer]

Mitch Brown down after making - what looked like - a late tackle.

He’s completely lost on the wing. Why do they do that?

[Yeetyaah]

@gt12 smooth brains

[Steven Harris]

@gt12 I really do wonder at the end of the day ,if a lot of the NZ teams knowing they have got their oppositions number and just decided to go wide as opposed to grinding some of these teams down with our earning the right to go wide ..dropping their standards and letting opponents back in .

3, 2, 1 - Which is worse?

Tupaea?
The ref?
The Chiefs defence?

[Bones]

The varying pronunciation of Toomua has been the highlight of the match.

[Yeetyaah]

Someone kick the ball out Jesus Christ

[antipodean]

Imagine not getting a bonus point against the worst Australian team.

[Stargazer]

The Chiefs -because of unexpectedly playing 3 games away from home - have only a limited squad with them in Oz (they only sent two players home after last weekend, and brought in two new players). That limits the coaches' choice of selection. Not sure who or what they could have changed, but if I were them, I'd consider asking some players to pack their bags on both sides of the Ta$man and to travel for next game.
