Reds vs Chiefs

Very average from the Chiefs but a W.
I thought that Jacobson was huge, closely followed by Vaa'i. Ta'avao's best game in a while.
Ross' hands let him down but he scrummed well.
Gatland and Tiatia tried to out-do each other for the worst kicking. I'll call it a draw.

McDermott was huge for Reds
He’s a niggly, annoying one, but man he is effective. A bit like DMac, he gets smashed and just bounces up and is right back in the play. I do like the speed he plays with, unfortunately his 10 and most of his forward pack aren’t too good.
The 6 and 7 for the Reds played well.
Who’s that replacement halfback for the Chiefs? Thought he didn’t help the cause. Far to slow clearing the ball from the base.
The replacement half was an idiot.
Gave away the stupidest PK for offside at a scrum I've ever seen when Chiefs were pressuring the Reds on the try line.

Agree. I kept wanting someone to thump him, but he's a damn fine rugby player.
Also, when Ratima shoved him out of the way at the scrum he seemed to take it with good humour.

I need to read this match thread, but has anything been said about how Gatland got his blackeye? We never saw any footage so was it similar to Evans against the Canes?
Cronan was very selective in what he wanted to bring to Williams' attention. The high tackle on Tupaea near the tryline before HT was an obvious example of something being ignored. That could have been a PT.

Self inflicted after his umpteenth shit kick. Can't really blame the bloke.
