QF: Chiefs v Reds

Nepia

I thought that was a bad hospital from DMac but it was really just a damn good tackle.

Can be both. But DMac is playing well so far - certainly looking better than Beaudy did last night.

Finau with a huge (legal) shoulder in defense too. Smashed Vunivalu.

Ice packs will be in high demand after this one...

Derpus

@antipodean for a big bloke Vunivalu is pretty soft in contact.

FAB next year for me

That scrum must have looked very different on Gardiners side than the camera angle

Finau plays rugby just to hurt people. Love him.

There isn't a better 6 in NZ now let alone in 12 months

We're lucky that the Reds can't even kick over the proverbial sandcastle.

Wasn't expecting this tbh. Reds have brought the intensity and the Chiefs are looking rattled.

@mariner4life I want to see how Flanders goes tonight vs Brumbies.

Stargazer

Why isn't O'Connor taking over the kicking duties?

Nepia

I wish they'd go back to the lineout, looked suspiciously like they formed to the right with players in front of the ball.

Still, good work from the Reds to be two tries up over the Chiefs.

Narawa not showing well in front of Foz

Half time message to the Chiefs might be to focus on their core individual roles a lot more.

Nepia

That's a rough penalty really, it appeared to be a slip, and the scrum set anyway.

Tim

Chiefs need to use their forwards before going wide. Patience.

Kirwan

Huge try

Donsteppa

Much better.

Hard for @Derpus to complain about the reffing in this one with an all Aussie officials team.

I don't think it will be hard for him at all!
