QF: Chiefs v Reds

[Kirwan]

Goal line drop outs have led to aimless kicking.

@Derpus said in QF: Chiefs v Reds:

@Mattasaurus Blues were doing it all night last night and all the refs seem to be very lenient about rolling away in general this year. Prudent tactic.

I think Gus is taking it too though, on the near side he pinged for not rolling away as the tacklers were rolling over and the ball was available.

[Donsteppa]

Brodie and Aidan Ross would not be my ideal choice of forwards to try and run through.

[antipodean]

Just awesome from Retallick. Gets under the extremely limited Wilson and drives him backwards.

[KiwiMurph]

Harry Wilson showing why Eddie didn't pick him. 0 footwork.

[Machpants]

Beaudy needs take kick pass lessons from DMac

[KiwiMurph]

Some awesome hits out there

[Nepia]

I thought that was a bad hospital from DMac but it was really just a damn good tackle.

Can be both. But DMac is playing well so far - certainly looking better than Beaudy did last night.

Finau with a huge (legal) shoulder in defense too. Smashed Vunivalu.

[Donsteppa]

Ice packs will be in high demand after this one...

[Derpus]

@antipodean for a big bloke Vunivalu is pretty soft in contact.

FAB next year for me

[Mattasaurus]

That scrum must have looked very different on Gardiners side than the camera angle

[mariner4life]

Finau plays rugby just to hurt people. Love him.

There isn't a better 6 in NZ now let alone in 12 months

[Donsteppa]

We're lucky that the Reds can't even kick over the proverbial sandcastle.

[akan004]

Wasn't expecting this tbh. Reds have brought the intensity and the Chiefs are looking rattled.

[KiwiMurph]

@mariner4life I want to see how Flanders goes tonight vs Brumbies.

[Stargazer]

Why isn't O'Connor taking over the kicking duties?

[Nepia]

I wish they'd go back to the lineout, looked suspiciously like they formed to the right with players in front of the ball.

Still, good work from the Reds to be two tries up over the Chiefs.
