    The big change was Thompson, midfield calmed down and just made some space for the outsides

    I like rob but think he needs a break

    Gregory exercised some demons

    McKay was good, that’s the kind of play I’ve always liked about him and glad we got to see a bit of it

    None our those guys could have done what they did without smith, d Hunt, frizzel and MMT

    I feel like an alien has invaded his body. Completely different player from the previous few years.

        I think he might just be a bit burnt out, he’s one of the seniors and one of the few constants in the back line this season, think he’s been trying to do too much

          thought you could only go back 2 rucks at most to look for infringements. there was clear 3 rucks.

            He started the season in the same form. If he's burnt out before he even plays then he needs to change something drastically.

              Well not sure you can have a ruck if it's from an offside play...😬

                  I've never felt this angry after any rugby game loss before. Fuck Gatland and fuck the useless forward subs that came on.

                      We were hammering them.

                      And then we lost.

                          Great game , Chiefs really how the fuck did you lose that
                          Smith what an absolute legend inspirational performance and Frizzell very impresive

                              Not arguing, just what I thought I heard the ref say and I don’t know the letter of the law with that stuff

                                Off today's showing, definitely. His decision making and execution was sublime once he had less time....

                                Going off selection so far though I'm inclined to think we'll see McKay to 12 and Tomkinson shuffled out one.

                                        Just watched the first half again. Frizzel's workrate absolutely through the roof and a lot of really good involvements.

                                        DHunt with some excellent tidy up work.

                                        Them, Smith and Dixon probably saved us a few blushes in the first half.

                                          Alright fuck I've chilled out a bit. So here my 2 cents.

                                          Good:
                                          Slater was incredible, needs to be starting every game.
                                          Cane was great, apart from his card.
                                          Mckenzie was good, didn't do anything overly stupid.
                                          ALB looked great even at 13.

                                          Bad:
                                          All of the replacement forwards.
                                          Warren Gatland.

                                          Extra:
                                          Aaron Smith was incredible.
                                          The McKenzie try should have been allowed.

                                          Extremely disappointed in the Chiefs for losing that as it looked great, but hats off to the Highlanders for playing with that much heart.
