Chiefs vs Lions

Dammit.

Dumb option from Elton. Chiefs can get the ball back.

Shocking kick from Marty. He seemed to go before his team mates were ready. No reason to do that.

Yeetyaah

Fuck me what a joke. Chiefs only turned up for 20 minutes of the game. Hate blaming the ref but fuck me he was shit.

Donsteppa

FFS. If only the Chiefs has fronted in the first 55 minutes...

Incredibly dumb. He should have missed and then taken the full minute to kick the PK. No matter, but it was not clever.

Stargazer

Agreed the Chiefs had a poor first half, but the Lions didn't deserve this win. Dodgy tries and other dodgy calls gave them the advantage.

Wasn't the best refereeing performance, but had he got every decision correct, the Chiefs still deserved to lose.

Did we watch the same game? The Lions' defence was excellent, the Chiefs threw away ball in the first half and didn't have a set piece.

Warren Whitely didn't actually answer any of the questions in that interview. :grinning_face:

Stargazer

@antipodean Their defence was great, but not their attack. I think a draw would have been the right outcome.

Lions deserved to win. Good game.

Game of three-and-one- quarters - Chiefs were shit in the first 60 and mostly great for the last 20, Lions the other way around. I reckon with a proper set piece in that first half Chiefs would have won rather tidily. Good win for the Lions on the road, I can't begrudge Warren Whiteley any wins, he seems proper nice

Yep, Chiefs left it until too late to start playing decent footy.

Donsteppa

Gutted, but the right result. Can’t complain about a loss when it takes the injection of the reserves bench for a team to start playing rugby.

Excellent last twenty minutes comeback from the Chiefs. I thought the Lions backrow were outstanding.

@sparky well picked!

@Bones Tough for the Chiefs without Retallick, Cane and Harris. I think Whiteley would have been kept quieter if any of those had been playing.

I reckon Ta’avao starting loosehead for the World Cup final?
