Chiefs v Blues

[hydro11]

Interesting to see how quickly penalty goals have come back in fashion. Blues have just kept in touch and got their points when they have been down the Chiefs' end of the field.

Reminder that the Blues have led a lot of NZ teams at halftime ...

@duluth Helps a lot that they have a 7 who is tackling and putting some ruck pressure on, and a halfback who is not getting pushed off the ball.

[Steven Harris]

@tim agree about Ruru,way more physical than Nock,hope Tana does not make changes for the sake of changes

[Tim]

@steven-harris A la the Highlanders game!

Still can't shake a feeling of impending doom about it...

[Duluth]

@tim

Yeah that has been one area the coaches had no control over, 3 injuries at open side.
Kara having his best game in at least a year (faint praise..)

Hopefully Dalton goes well when he gets a run

@donsteppa

I cannot believe I’m typing these words, but I think we might be fucked without Dmac.

Marty McKenzie, prove me wrong.

It seems the NZ teams have been watching the Sharks M.O. in as much as they accumulate points each time they are on offer.

[Steven Harris]

Average from Duffy..

[gt12]

Average by the Chiefs.

Take your points!

[ShadowTrooper]

WTF - surely a knock-on?

[gt12]

My god, looks like these guys have never held a rugby ball.

And now a penalty.

[gt12]

Marty McKenzie you muppet

[African Monkey]

And this is why we lose these games giving away penalties at scrum time on attack. It very nearly cost us too.

[Stargazer]

I like that new Chiefs no. 8, Sowakula. Promising.

[Donsteppa]

Sense of impending doom rising...

Who’s our new greedy bastard eight?

[Tim]

@gt12 Yeah, he's a step down to say the least ...
