Funny game

Asafo my MOTM

Really good win for the Canes. Scrum was the best part. Maybe the first year I've ever said that.

Really weird game from the Chiefs. Look to be playing well within themselves.

[Tim]

Chiefs better make the most of the bye week, because you can't win playing like that.

[Yeetyaah]

Chiefs need to go away and focus on the 3 Ds. Dackle, dackle, dackle. Horrible defence.

[African Monkey]

Chiefs badly outmuscled tonight. Their pack looks a bit lightweight apart from Finau.

Hell yeah a second last warning for the Canes

no the warning before was for offsides, then this one was for any penalty.

[sparky]

The Canes pack is looking formidable. Another win. Happy days!

[Yeetyaah]

Get Richard Judd in the All Blacks now

Heading home from the game so will create the MOTM poll later.

Just a few thoughts from being there in person. The work-rate of Delany and our loosies was awesome, our scrummaging was immense and Perenara definitely stepped up. Backs were solid with our backfield showing plenty of nice touches.

Not sure why we don’t use Jordie when clearing from our in goal though, Cameron’s boot is not strong enough.

Great atmosphere and the game day experience at the Tin has definitely stepped up since when I last made it to a game.

Proctor and Ratima need to be in the mix come AB's time.

Ratima looks VG

[ploughboy]

Xavier Numia and Asafo Aumua should be your players of the match . could have been different result without those two

Chiefs subs apart from Dyer seemed backwards steps.

[African Monkey]

Funny how last week Wallace Sititi was the next big thing and an AB in waiting after walking through the Moana Pasifika 2nd string side, but got a good lesson last night.

Obviously he may well turn out to be that star in waiting and have a huge career ahead of him, but I think the massive hype was a tad premature.

Rewatch of second half. Forward replacements in fact OK for Chiefs.

But backs' defensive pattern turned to custard when Rona went off, Tuapea to 12 and Poihipi to 13. Several bad misses.

And ENS all over the place leaving holes for several breaks. Exacerbated by really poor kick straight to touch which ended up costing 7.

Had it been 29-23 with five to go would have been very interesting, given Canes's serial offences in red zone.
