Chiefs 2019

Also watching from Auckland. Great to see Atu Moli running around at loose head. He could be great cover for the AB squad later in the year.

@Stargazer said in Chiefs 2019:
FT: Reds 19 - 21 Chiefs
Pretty average game.
They were two pretty average lineups tbf.
About the only thing these pre-season games show is how dependant on their ABs the teams are.

@Stargazer very hard watch..but credit to the chiefs with such under strength team..scrum has got to be a concern ,felt the Reds an edge throughput the 80

Stevenson's style of play still annoys me - that kind of "too cool to try hard" style - a bit like Nonu very early doors and a definite feature of Curtis Ambrose's play.
@Bones I have to agree with you there. There is something about the (obviously talented) guy that doesn't work for me as much as it does others. Maybe you have just pinpointed it.
I can forgive errors from players giving it their all but not from the 'too cool for school' types -

@Steven-Harris as to the chiefs scrum - only one of their top 5 props played last night and that was Moli playing loosehead who hasn't played in like a year (the other 4 all being All Blacks). Plus add Brodie and Harris to the tight five. They had a very good scrum last season despite the crazy injury toll so I think they will be ok.
