One interesting stat is just how many penalties the Chiefs take compared to the opposition. Last night really was a test match type game from them. Shows kiwi teams can play tight when needed.
not many dropkicks in that table..
Well, except the Barretts

For all the talk in the game thread about go for the try, for me it was refreshing that the Chiefs at least played knock out football, with a points first mentality. Actually showed more maturity from D-Mac that I did not see as much of earlier.

@bayimports yeah I agree, seems often ingrained in us to go for the big play, but that kick from the 50m was the game changer IMO, chiefs seemed to lift after that it as well with a 6 point lead, and I think the psychological toll on the opposition, knowing that they need to score a converted try, in a match where tries were not happening is huge too.

@taniwharugby compare that to the brumbies first penalty. Easy 3, can bank it and build back down - but they put their cards on the table straight away, try for their specialty lineout drive, get soundly spanked and returned from whence they came.
Where to from there? If you can't even get close to nailing your go to in the first ten, it's gonna be a long 70 minutes that follow.

Retallick should be suspended for a week. Disgraceful thing to do.
