Chiefs v Hurricanes

Stargazer

@Tim I'd have Jordan and Havili ahead of McKenzie and Barrett.

Based on SRA so far, I'd have Jordan or Havili ahead of MacKenzie or Barrett.

Perofeta has been better at fullback than either of the two players on display today.

I'd have Barrett the Elder, with Jordan and Ioane

Where's the replay of the tackle on Ah Koi?

Do the Chiefs have a forwards coach? Why are they running so upright into contact?

Mokey

Everytime the Chiefs get the ball they look like they are just learning rugby for the first time. Farrrrrk it's frustrating.

Stargazer

Hey Mr Gatland, if you're reading this, there's still a good lock in Hawke's Bay by the name of Tom Parsons. Just thought I'd let you know.

Tim

@Machpants Tasty back three.

They did one, he clashed heads in a sandwich between two players

Yeetyaah

@Tim his head whipped down and smacked the ground super hard.

Fixed that for you.

Stargazer

@Yeetyaah Yeah, that looked awful.

Yeetyaah

@Stargazer yeah poor bugger. Didn't move at all afterwards. He's still on the ground.

Angus Ta'avao's glasses are just like Karl Te Nana's glasses reminding me of Mrs Doubtfire.

Edited.
I dump George Bridge and replace him with Will Jordan.

Not to dismiss your 1st question, but on the 2nd, it's pretty wild to think that players at this level have to be reminded about body height into contact.

Stargazer

@Frank I'd swap Clarke for Bridge (in addition to my previous suggestion).

Yeetyaah

He's all good, gave the crowd a Shaka as he went off.

Chiefs lucky not to get pinged a couple of times for that lineout move they keep pulling. Blatant obstruction passing it down to a guy who tucks in behind 2-3 blockers.

antipodean

Well done Webber. Great option

Tim

@antipodean Amazing that he was an All Black, and got so much press praise. Very average player.
