Haven’t watched a lot of rugby this season.
Have the Chiefs got anything other than one out runners bashing it up and really shitty attempts at cute little chip kicks?
That is the way of all the kiwi teams thses days.
That and giving away large numbers of penalties for no reason.
Didn’t see much of that from the Blues last night.
I suppose they were only having a training run though.@Gunner said in Chiefs vs Brumbies:

Valentini... Has been very good

Whoever is the defensive coach needs a mid season review.

Being average for most of the game proving costly..

Just in that play: 18 dropped the ball under no pressure, had no one in any position to gather the kick, won a turnover and then failed to get support there and lost is back.

@Mattasaurus Valentini has been massive all season.

@Toddy Cane has been poor tonight, hasn't even put pressure on over the ball. Papalii is knocking.

Dalton is streaks ahead so far this year. Easily the form 7. The difference between the two that we aren't privvy to is if Cane is pacing himself for later in the season. The other problem for Cane is that Dalton is also leader (maybe already better than Cane) and Cane has never cemented himself as a good captain at Super or AB level.

The Brumbies have been as good as the Chiefs have been bad.
Chiefs not treasuring the ball, inept defensive choices and some dreadful skill execution. They deserve to lose.

Roe has been impressive
He's a good player but was average today. Too much mucking around at the back of the ruck, IMO.

The scrumhalf? I thought he was shit.
