Chiefs vs Rebels
-
<p>I'm a fan of Weber but the accuracy of his passing needs a lot of work. Getting the ball out of the ruck super quickly is awesome when the Chiefs are constantly getting over the gain line but when they're up against a good defence, the extra half second Cruden spends reeling in his passes just gives the defence that extra half second to move up or reposition.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not having TKB as the other option (starting or on the bench) has really hurt the Chiefs the last few weeks IMO.</p> -

<p>Has the best dive pass in New Zealand</p>
<p>Reads the game effectively</p>
<p>Doesn't fuck around endlessly with the ball at the base of a ruck marshalling the troops and thinking I can sit here all day according to the laws of the game so I will take my sweet time (meanwhile the defence re-organises or even counter rucks and suddenly the presentation of the pill gets messy)</p>
<p>Isn't annoyingly yappy.</p> -

Very well said , his accuracy is very poor. He really does throw a lot of pies....if he tidies this up then he may be considered for higher honours -

Where did this Yamashita guy come from and is he any relation to the Yamashita guy that has played earlier in the season?</p></blockquote>
<br>
Was going to ask a similar question about who the alien was in Yamashita's body.<br><br>
Either that or Smith has turned completely to shit. -

Good maul defence by the Rebels there.<br><br>
The chorus calling for McKenzie to be in black seems to have quietened.</p></blockquote> seemed to make an impact in the last stanza. About where we'd want him to do that in a test.<br><br>
Is getting watched rather more closely on D now though. -

Have to say I thought Weber was fantastic. Passing a bit wayward at times when firing to the typical 10 position but otherwise really key in just keeping the plays going with remarkable speed and decision making. <br><br>
Seu must be in AB selectors thoughts.</p></blockquote>
<br>
Re Weber. I love his enthusiasm and the pace of his game. Just needs to work on not spraying the passes.<br><br>
Seu. Another on the list of promising 6/8s. And plays a bit of lock. -

Mostly agree with this.<br><br>
But Hammington looks ok. -

<p>Good locks the Chiefs have huh? Bird looking just as good as BBBR.<br><br>

<p>Sir John Kirwan was doing analysis in the studio (which you probably saw) and he called for Bird to lift his game, I had noticed that he had been off the pace in his first few games back from injury as well. He looked like a menace tonight.</p> -
<p>Just saw the highlights but geez what did they put in Birds drink bottle? Whatever it is give it to him every game.</p>
