Chiefs handling like a rugby ball is new to them.

Rebels have been really aggressive on D and borderline offside but working well.

[chimoaus]

Amazing a side could defend for phases and not get penalised.

[taniwharugby]

@chimoaus and they are often well behind the advantage line and the man taking it is static or crabbing.

[chimoaus]

Rebels have started well. Chiefs struggling for territory. A bit like how the Canes started.

[Grooter]

just tuning in and I see it's a bay of plenty back three for the chiefs

It's very refreshing. NZ teams give away far too many penalties for stupid things while defending.

[Yeetyaah]

Boring

Rebels still struggle to create space. They’re better than the start of the year now they have some of the big runners in the forwards back.. but their attack still looks like the worst in the comp

[chimoaus]

I have to say having a player that can kick well and get you to half way on exit is so important in today's game. Such a disadvantage when you can't exit your own half.

[chimoaus]

Lovely forward interplay by Rebels. Chiefs are running on 3 cylinders at the moment.

[chimoaus]

Stupid by Cane, Chiefs have just been off for sometime, hard to pinpoint exactly what it is.

[chimoaus]

Chiefs lucky to only be behind by 3 at this stage.

[Damo]

Rebels score a try but the referee doesn't want a bar of it.

[taniwharugby]

@Damo yeah odd he didn't even want to have a look at it.

[chimoaus]

WTF, who is the skills coach if the Chiefs.

[taniwharugby]

So often they are taking the ball static or one step into a run, no pace at all

[chimoaus]

Nice break by JI but Weber pushed the pass.

[Bones]

What is up with these chiefs offloads?

[Yeetyaah]

How do they fuck that up
