Waratahs v Chiefs

antipodean

The second NZ team that haven’t turned up tonight.

Some pressure on the claims that the ladder would sort itself out once the Aussie teams couldn't get easy wins against each other.

Try looked pretty clear cut to me? Not sure why they need to check...

Not enough to overturn imo

Mr Fish

Oh I thought they were looking at Foketi's foot, not the sideline...

Some truly inspired selections moving Stevenson to wing and DMac to fullback.

DMac's woes continue

Chiefs need points now

Talk about getting too cute

Big learning from tonight is that DMac is much better utilised at 10.

Chiefs need an easy try to find their groove.

That'll do it.

Which we already knew from earlier in the season.

Clayton what are you doing man

That was forward unfortunately

Looked forward to me.

You watch this and the Hurricanes. Do we really blame Robertson with some of his conservative selections? He knows these players. Has been coaching against them for the past 7 years. Just knows they don’t turn up when the pressure is on

Backwards out of the hand for sure.

The problem is his players don't turn up at test level when the pressure is on either

I reckon that's momentum but the hometown TMO will overturn it IMO.

edit - astonished they didn't. Could option well taken by Jacobson. Lots of room there the way the Tahs defended.

sparky

Try given. 14-7.

Chiefs back in it or dead cat bounce?

Yeetyaah

McKenzie has generally played well at 15 this year, the Chiefs have just played better with him at 10. This is definitely a bit of a drop from his usual standards but suspect he'll step up from here.
