Chiefs v Crusaders
-
Chiefs made some nice adjustments as the game went on
They are completely buying in to what ever messaging they are getting
-
I think this game should show that Havili isn't a quality 12, Ennor plays better wide (on the wing) and DMac plays better with time and space (fullback).

It's all because the coaches won't let them play their natural game...
Seems to me DMac has curbed his natural game and is way better for it.
The fact he was that bad early, and this good now is actually a great sign

Japan seems to have matured him a bit. Earlier era DMac might have gone for the try rather than pass to Stevenson

Crusaders just aren't the same without Jordan and Reece.
Their attack was toothless until Goodhue came on (LF the exception)

Yeah, good to see him back.

LF and Goodhue in the middle for me.

None of our 1st fives give you confidence….bit of a worry.

Well done Chiefs. Great crowd, well done Chiefs region!
Stevenson looked good in a game of that intensity so that is bloody pleasing.
Crusaders need a halfback and for Jordan to return to fullback.
What isn't so pleasing is RMs brainfart kick in the 71st minute or whatever. If that was the ABs I would be sooo stressed right now. Just what is the thinking process for that decision? Just dire for an AB pivot. -

%ages? Who needs 5ages? DMac won 3 lineouts, new way of playing lol.

How's Narawa under the high ball?
A back three of him, Clarke and Jordan would be dangerous. -

@antipodean
Yes he is. His brother isn't -
Cracking match
Going to be a tough decision between RM and DMac
Couple of questions (could have gone elsewhere but loads of examples in this match)
- At the breakdown if a defender goes 'beyond the ball' it's a penalty against him, but if an attacking player in support of the ball carrier goes 'beyond the ball' unbound that's OK?
Happened all night
- Is it just Angus who doesn't care that the support players from the attacking team make absolutely no attempt to bind and/or stay on their feet?
