Hurricanes v Chiefs

[KiwiMurph]

DMac has done a lot in the first half but Jordie has been a lot more accurate in what he has done. Perhaps a bit of an insight into why Jordie is in the ABs. Now that i say that they'll be the opposite in the 2nd half!

Great crowd. Impressive given the stop start nature of Super at present.

Just after Plumtree says be patient, Aso throws it away...

[KiwiMurph]

TJ giving the Blues some props - the magical week continues.

[No Quarter]

Yeah sure Bird was on his feet, just magically turned into a midget.

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Neither has looked particularly good.

[gt12]

That's not a great tackle by Barrett there

[Crucial]

How is that not dangerous when innocuous midair collisions are deemed so?

[KiwiMurph]

@Tim Disagree. Have been watching Jordie closely and he's been money. Hasnt had to make tackles though (his weakness).

[Crucial]

You can hear TJs wrist flapping whenever his favourite players get the ball.

[No Quarter]

These guys are smacking each other. Great to watch but makes me worry a bit from an AB perspective.

[Nepia]

@No-Quarter Yeah, would rather this was not being played during the Lions tour.

[No Quarter]

DMac threw the ball away there...

[Tordah]

that was nicely done by Laumape with the decision and the kick there under pressure

[Nepia]

Why take Ngatai off? Might be a bit underdone match fitness-wise?

[antipodean]

Tits for hands Shields...

[Tim]

@Nepia that was my guess.

hopefully nothing to do with his noggin

[Nepia]

Barrett should be penalised there.

[Tim]

@Tordah Apparently official word from Chiefs is that it's just a tactical substitution.

Landing on it in the Beauden tackle can't have helped.
