Fa’auli needs to stop leading with the shoulder - and stop coming out of the line.
Unless he gets it right as the Reds 8 Caleb Timu can attest.

Glad they showed the try before the conversation,almost like the chiefs have switched off

What the fucking fuck. How the fuck could the ref have awarded that.
By the time he got there, he could see it pushed against the post. I'd award it too.
I'm guessing the director in the truck isn't on the Reds' xmas card list after showing that "highlight".

Chiefs hit 31, knew job was done, and clocked off. Combine that with the Reds being atrocious and you get this 2nd half.

I thought the Chiefs were going to throw away a BP. Very average 2nd half.
MMac is so bad. A doormat on defence, misses touch from a penalty and earlier takes a quick tap instead of kicking into the corner on one of the few occasions the Chiefs were on attack in the 2nd half. Just as well we've got a bye next week so DMac has a rest.
-
The other thing, that was almost the Taranaki backline once DMac went off. Only ALB and Alaimalo not from there.
Speaking of Alaimalo, he's still got a long way to go before he is in contention for the ABs. This game demonstrated all his weaknesses - concentration lapses, dropping passes, poor ball placement in the tackle.

Chiefs lose their star first five and end up looking like the blues... Hmmm.
"Star" is pushing it -- he's the third best fullback in NZ, at best. I like watching him play, but he's a mix of awesome and awful in every game.
"Star first five" is confusing the "star" and the "first five" bits. They aren't related, any more than calling Ritchie McCaw "world famous helicopter pilot" would be correct.
