Chiefs v Sharks
-
<p>FT Score: Chiefs 24-22</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have to give it to the Sharks defence, they were staunch as hell. Chiefs attack does seem a lot weaker without Ngatai in there though, hope he's back next week.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBBR, Cane, Leitch and Seu were awesome, Cruden easily the pick of the backs. Wonder if Hames' body is up for starting because fuck did he make an impact to the scrums.</p> -

Tried some ill advised one handed off loads. The decision to take him off was pivotal in terms of victory. Well coached Dave Rennie.</span></p>

That's not right is it? Otherwise we wouldn't see penalties for offside when a player knocks on and one in front picks it up. Or for holding on the ground after a knock on. -

<p>yeah but I was talking about the other team infringing, so team A knocks on and team B commits a penalisable offence under advantage = knock on</p>
<p>team A knocks on and team A commits a penalisable offence = penalty</p> -

Cane's second half was superb. Thought his first half he was fairly anonymous. -
Clash of styles there.<br><br>
Sharky's D was awesome.<br><br>
To my mind the Chiefs had the better of the game and deserved the points. But the D gave the Sharks a chance.<br><br>
Not sure i ejoyed the match though. Thought the Chiefs were a little sloppy right across the park. -
Some poor kicking and handling by the Chiefs allowed the Sharks defence the chance to dominate.

<p>I went to this, better crowd than I was expecting, not sure what the attendance was. Except for the first 5 minutes wonderboy did not impress, not a happy ground for him, have memories of his brother easily outshining him in the ITM cup there a couple seasons back.Overall a pretty annoying game to watch, too many stupid errors. This was also compounded with me being tired and not drinking and a drunk feral 'naki fan yelling out all of the following:</p>
<p>"Hey JP how did it feel to lose to Japan?" (Whenever JP was near) </p>
<p>"Your brother is better he won us a championship" (Whenever DMac fucked up)</p>
<p>"Beaudons better, Baeudons better!" (whenever Cruden kicked for goal)</p>
<p>"Hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes, hurricanes" (All other times)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The real crime is if I stabbed him in the eye then I'd be the one who'd get kicked out! </p> -
Probably the tallest lineout in NZ history.

<p>Nah, I did that thing were you see a couple of wonky throws and extrapolate that as your impression of the overall picture. Especially the one where he threw it directly to the Sharks</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Stats say otherwise (as usual) - my bad</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I do think he's underwhelming in general though</p> -

<p>Weber is guilty of this a lot. It shouldn't be an issue when passing to another midget.</p> -
