Did his knee, possibly his ACL. Iced both the front and the back of his knee, so not sure. Waiting for updates.

@Stargazer argh that is shit news. Hansen will be spewing. Hope he's okay for WC.

Pretty great game. I suppose Chiefs really regret losing that Sunwolves game. They would be well in the top 8 if they had won that. Blues still have a fair way to go but showed a lot of character. Nonu very good again for them.
@hydro11 shit I can't wait until Nonu squares off with Laumape at the tin in a few weeks.

Relieved to get that one. Picked the Chiefs by 5 in Superbru but was hoping it wouldn’t be that tight for the blood pressure.
While the result was a similar score differential to the last 2-3 years, this does look like a different Blues team. I didn’t want us to kick the ball away as the Blues always seemed to have space and numbers to operate with. At one stage the Chiefs missed tackle count was double...
Read during the week that Nonu had been an idol of ALB’s growing up, and he got a close look at him bumping him off for that first phase try..!
Some great displays of individual skill in that game from the backs especially.
-
Not sure why people are gloating about Nonu's try. For the rest of the game ALB was far superior.
However the Chiefs rode their luck otherwise. An intercept and a miracle try were the difference.

From Nigel Yalden's twitter: He’ll have a scan in the morning but no definitive diagnosis yet. No immediate swelling to the knee which I’m informed is a good sign.

Great game to watch. Loved the pace both teams played at, especially the Blues. Both halfbacks for the Blues tonight played with a bit of urgency. Pulu should take note.
If we are being objective, Nonu didn’t have a great game but scored a great try. ALB looked dynamic tonight. And who was that bulldozer that came off the bench for the Chiefs in the backs? Big unit.

Weeee are the chaaaaaampions

Fantastic game to watch ,
the negative being the injury to Dmac , if its ACL , he wont feature in the WC you would think, usually a 12 month injury ,
that might confirm Richie Mounga in the 23, BB covering FB , no more injuries please .

Thought Karl T was, to quote Matt Cooper “outstanding”.

@KiwiMurph thought Moulds looked really good. Nailed his throw(?s). Went forward with runs. Blues ran out of time.
Given Hodgman was carrying well into contact, he probably didn't expect the pass. Tu’inukuafe was huge again. As was the big ginger.
@antipodean yeah pretty sure Hodgman was meant to carry, draw the defender, but he threw the 50/50, ah well, plenty of other opportunities, shouldn’t dwell on that last play.

What a game!
Didn't watch live and was just gonna scan through as you do when you don't have time...watched the whole thing.
One of those games you get so involved in, feeling for both teams with every drop, every missed tackle so much more knowing how much it is gonna mean, both teams worthy of a win but someone was always gonna lose that one.
On that one where BBBR monstered Nock, Blues loaded one side of the ruck, but left him totally exposed on the other, did it again next ruck too.
Fuck @rotated musta thrown his remote through his TV when Goodhue, Nock and Moulds went out there...4 quota Players on the park at the same time.
This Blues side is different to previous years, sure they weren't able to close this game out, but I think this was different to those games when they couldn't close it out.
I say again, what a game!

@mariner4life Haha well done was a great game. Hope we don't drop our heads now it's unfortunate to lose but it's important to stay focused with another big game next week.

Not sure if you guys know but in the last 2 minutes Retallick was very ginger clutching at his left elbow. He was lying on the ground for a bit in the last seconds then hobbled back to our D line very slowly

Boomfa!

Great game of footy. Just watched the second half on replay. Was on a win / win (and I suppose a lose / lose) in that game given Chiefs are my team, but was more than happy for the Blues to continue their run.
Was really quite surprised looking at the teams as the Sky comms announced them just how evenly matched they were. I kind of try and work out individual v individual to see where the advantage might be. And even where there was a obvious better player (Retallick, Rieko) it wasn't necessarily overwhelming (PT, AlaimaLOW).
There was a knock on before Rieko's try. I called it in real time and TMO was poor not to pick it up. (Good finish though).
Makes up for the knock on before Boshier's (which could be argued was less clear and less obvious so am prepared to forgive that one).
