Chiefs v Force

@Nepia Fair enough.
I would celebrate/be positive if there were things for Aussie rugby to be positive about. There aren't many.

Did I miss something? Is Kahui retiring after this season?
He hasn't got a contract so he thinks that's what will happen, hasn't decided where to live either

@Nepia am i wrong, though?
In general, yes. I wonder why you even come on here considering how little you appear to like the game.

I was thinking the same thing about a number of posters a while ago, but things have settled down a bit. For a while there the Fern was full of posts saying the game is shit, player x is shit, the ref is shit and the commentators are shit.

Cane's injury is a worry.
Promising but very short debut for young Bartlett.
Weber looking sharp in his first game back.
Good win; the Chiefs did their job against a very average Force.
I'm still not sold on Narawa or Roe, who've both been talked up the last few years. -

There are shit parts to all of those, mostly this year seems to be the number of cards being given out.
As far as Aussie players are going seems to be a few sticking their hands up and the Wallabies should be improved this year

Tupaea was not shit
-
@Stargazer believe so. Have heard from someone that knows him well, won't say who.

Top performance by Chiefs tight five against international players. Ross Vaai and Finau were huge. Great cameo from our 19yr old prop Josh too. Still bothered by the poor quality of kicking and passing in the backs but Gatland was improved tonite and Tupaea and Weber went well.
Anstee was very good for Force. -

Anstee was very good for Force.I’d add to that list with Slater and Jacobsen.

Finau was immense on defence, with plenty of dominant tackles. ESPN says 17 with no misses. The forwards played fairly well considering who was missing after Cane left the field.
PGS had an average game in his 50th giving away too many dumb penalties.
The backs need plenty of work, particularly the back three. Narawa was anonymous and the only times Tiatia and Trask featured were for the wrong reasons. It would be nice to get some players back before the QF. They got the 5 pts needed.

Back three was identified as an issue before the season started and no one has demanded selection since.
I would be tempted to change ( if it’s not too late) to having both Gatland and Ioane playing. ENS is best of a poor bunch aside from that. -
