Thompson looks very strong.

His legs look too skinny for his upper body.

They’d be down by 70 by now if not infected by the Bay. The Chiefs would only be up by 10 if not infected by the Bay (plus they’d have no halfback).

Good option there, that’s Ioane’s strength

Tiatia looks to be playing at 12.

With the new rules, is there actually much benefit to getting out of the in goal, to then pass the ball back to try to clear for touch?

Where he should be (off the bench)

[Bones]

Wait, is Lord now Hamilton Burr as well?

[gt12]

Nice to see Reihana chipping in - is he a 15 usually?

[Bones]

Geez Enari has looked right at home as a halfback who's never played rugby before.

Chiefs have had all their Bay shots and boosters though

I’m probably going to get shot down for this but something about Vai’i at 6 reminds me of a certain Mr Kaino.

@gt12 can only imagine Covid has played a part trying to put anything together

[Bones]

@crucial yeah nah

Yeah I was wondering if he has a future at 6. Looks like has some promise there.

He’s really busy. Not sure he has the strength yet to go that far.

Edit: ESPN has him as the leading metre maker in the forwards (46 off 8 runs), 3 defenders beaten, but only 4 tackles made. He had a good busy game though and its where we will probably need to use him.
