Chiefs v Highlanders

@KiwiMurph

He was double dumb. Cynical play that wasn’t needed

Dmac is kicking well tonight.

Those types of misses are unforgiveable.

[KiwiMurph]

Aaron Smith playing well in such a poor team

[antipodean]

I didn't realise you could get off the ground in an offside position and grab a ball.

@Duluth said in Chiefs v Highlanders:

That should be a YC.

Didn’t need to do it either, the next Highlander was miles behind

Definitely shouldn't have been. It was a marginal timing issue and the Chiefs had plenty of players back.

[antipodean]

Is it just me or does PPP look like he skips legs day and could do with some more mass on his legs?

[Victor Meldrew]

Chiefs passing is a thing of beauty. DMac's kicking is a wee bit crap tonite. Jacobson playing well.

Highlanders midfield D is good.

[antipodean]

Good work by Finau at that maul

[Yeetyaah]

Dmac having an absolute shitter

[Chris]

Real shocking half for D Mac

Chiefs seem to be trying way too hard. I think they just need to be a little more direct in the forwards, build a few phases and then the gaps will open up. Probably chancing their arm too much instead of being patient.

Highlanders best 40 minutes of the season but in reality you just get the impression the floodgates will open in the 2nd half
Is it me or would Paul Williams fit right in as a cop in those police stop videos out of the USA..?

Landers just don’t have the firepower to do anything on attack unfortunately. When you’ve got a no name Argie on the wing and a Pom at fullback, it’s pretty dire times.

[Steven Harris]

@Canes4life that’s why I said ,possibly their best 40 given the cattle they are up against
Will probably be more competitive next year when every man and his dog has gaped it

[antipodean]

That's ridiculous. How is that worthy of a penalty?

[Steven Harris]

@antipodean totally agree

[hydro11]

The Highlanders problem isn't a lack of firepower at all. They have firepower. They lack cohesion as a team both on attack and defence, and are too inaccurate.

[antipodean]

How the hell is a player supposed to be able to move there? What a fucking shit ref this clown is.

[Machpants]

Great pass by 12, great try

Yeah, one of the worst yellows I have seen. There hasn't even been that many penalties. It is just something refs do out of inertia, without any analysis of the situation.
