Chiefs v Drua (pre-season Wk 1)

[Yeetyaah]

True TTT is on at halfback. Armstrong made a huge couple of tackles on some big boys.

Brady-Leathem is the other halfback in the squad.

Slog of a second half. Lots of dropped balls.

[Yeetyaah]

Chiefs scored one that I missed, Drua just scored now. 77 mins, 47-31 Chiefs ahead.

FT Chiefs 47 Drua 31.

[Bovidae]

Hopefully no injuries in these games.

Was a sloppy second half by Chiefs. But great opportunity for most of the fringe guys to get a run. Very hot too.
Chiefs may need to look at a few things around the breakdown. Drua very competitive there and some balls turned over.

To be expected when you look at the players on the bench. The Chiefs have four hookers in the squad, and none were involved in this game. Both Sa brothers were missing, as well as a few others who should be in the top 23 (excluding ABs). Let's see who gets to play the Hurricanes next Sat.

How did Cook-Savage go at 1st 5? I expect this season will be used for his development before being more involved in 2027.

Busy on defence, punches above his weight, and looks controlled, definitely fits into a system well.
