Simon Parker could have a big future under Razor, he is basically Liam Squire 2.0

[Bovidae]

This is the first time that the Chiefs recent backline ABs (Stevenson, Narawa, ALB, Tupaea and DMac) have appeared in the same match-day 23.

Hopefully he's better than that flat track bully

Or as good as.

Good try Rebels

Stevenson is a liability on defence

[Gunner]

Nice try Rebels.
Piss weak tackle attempt by Stevenson.

100% nowhere near good enough for test level

[Bones]

Yeah I wouldn't exactly class Vaihu as a top notch finisher. You've gotta make that tackle

[Donsteppa]

The bloke has so little commitment on defence.

[Gunner]

Tough call, thought DMac passed that back, and it came off a Rebels hand

[Unite]

Why do the Chiefs coach’s have France Rugby World cup stickers on all the laptops. Foz hand all his old gear on?

[KiwiMurph]

Scrappy game

[Bones]

They're opening their shoulder blades?

[Yeetyaah]

Why is that an off feet penalty if he isn't tackled and there's no ruck formed? Or am I not looking at that correctly?

[Unite]

@Yeetyaah wasn’t it diving on player on the ground?
