    Probably not the start to the second half the coaches and fans wanted.

      I don't really understand how that isn't obstruction. Cane reaches out and throws Burns off balance.

      @hydro11 wouldn't have got close to tackling. But could have been called the other way....depending on the officials

            Gilbert would be up there but yes.

                Great try from Gilbert. IMO he's been good.

                      In fairness to Fozzy he specifically mentioned fitness being the reason he wasn't picked last year. Then selected him once fitness improved.

                        Yes. They told him he would be in the championship squad if he met certain fitness standards. He did the work and it was a success

                            @Duluth and not mention a spate of injuries
                            Still think Angus Ta’avao was an average selection from day dot

                              Bit of helter-skelter play in the Chiefs 22, DMac gets the ball, thinks about running it but decides to play it safe. His play has matured a fair bit.

                                  I still think one of the biggest mistakes in rugby is letting yourself be that open to the counter. How many tries would the Highlanders have stopped this season, if they had someone back covering? Not that the Highlanders are unique in that aspect.

                                    AT this stage it's on the coaches for constantly selecting him. I mean, everyone knows what's going to happen.

                                        Bingo. Ironically the 13 he is up against wasn't in the full Chiefs squad to start the season.

                                          Not a bad effort from Burns..... I'd give him another go
