Blues v Chiefs
-
The Chiefs forwards have put on some weight in the off-season, a consequence of being bullied up front in the final. They certainly won more collisions in this game.
@Bovidae Vaa’i looking like a real unit nowadays.

Not read thread... but Telea did score. Bad decision, but good result ...
Looked to me like his arm was in touch before the ball was grounded. It was tight, but no try was the right decision.
Both of Ratima's knees were on the ground when he connected with Tele'a in the field of play therefore its a penalty try. You must be on your feet to tackle or attempt to play the ball and he stopped a certain try off his feet.
13.3 A player on the ground in the field of play, without the ball is out of the game and must:
a. Allow opponents who are not on the ground to play or gain possession of the ball.
Sanction:Penalty.b. Not play the ball.
Sanction:Penalty.c. Not tackle or attempt to tackle an opponent.

Sanction:Penalty.Looking forward to all the desperation diving tackles being penalised because the player was on the ground. As well as every goal line tackle around the ruck as the tackler had his hand on the ground so is off his feet.

Ratima was not a typical scenario. He went sliding in on his knees.

Those shifting goal posts will wreak havoc on dmacs fantasy points.

Found a replay, managed to watch the first half. Good contest, Blues obviously miss Sotutu and Ioane.
Chiefs had the best run with injuries and had a great bench. Seemed to be the difference.

Made it pretty interesting it was a clear tactic to have a real grind and bash for the first half and then finish strong with a lot of movement.
Quite a different take to some chiefs fans alluding to McMillan throwing the towel in.
If blues weren't in a funk when it came to finishing it might have been a different story though.

I think the Chiefs fans were trying to claim the underdog tag early.
Ratima's trysaver was out of this world in fairness. Had Telea scored, we might have had something to hold onto, but the Chiefs took over after that.

We literally lost to the Blues by 30 points last time we played them and we hadn't won at Eden Park since 2020, of course the Chiefs were underdogs.

Telea not scoring that try rams home how slow our top wingers are.

The Chiefs forwards have put on some weight in the off-season, a consequence of being bullied up front in the final. They certainly won more collisions in this game.

very noticeable in person how much size vaa'i and lord have added.
especially compared with Segner who looks like a toothpick.

Lol that streaker could win another penalty for the Chiefs here now that a scrum has been called.

I dunno what happened to the streaker but as I was leaving out the back 3 st johns ambos were wheeling along him along in a wheel chair and he was sucking pretty hard on a green whistle looking very unhappy.
then outside the police were walking the tan pants guy out carrying a few pages of paperwork - also looking very unhappy and was very unresponsive to any banter in his direction..

Without being too harsh, I would be happy to hear he's done something pretty painful to his leg!
I know I shouldn't wish that on anyone, especially someone so desperate for attention he streaks etc, but just let my grumpy old man come out when isiots interrupt games. -
Interesting to see points in player of the year allocation for game
Ah Khuoi getting the most. No arguments, and like the way it done with opposition captain and coach picking points, they the ones who know who is hurting them the most I think!Blues v Chiefs
4 - Naitoa Ah Kuoi (CHI)3 - Dalton Papali’i (BLU), AJ Lam (BLU), Luke Jacobson (CHI), Kaylum Boshier (CHI)
2 - Beauden Barrett (BLU), Anton Segner (BLU), Damian McKenzie (CHI)
1 - Mark Tele’a (BLU), Marcel Renata (BLU)
Also intersted to see BB got a couple of points, as my impression was he went not as bad as some thought.
