From reading the SA section of social media I half expected to see a picture of Mike Fraser in a chiefs jersey.
We have this one of Glen Jackson

I've been really impressed with the Chiefs this year. They seem really well coached to cope with their run of injuries. But I expect that the loss of Retallick alone would have been enough to give the Sharks the edge. The guy is a machine. But to also be without MacKenzie and Cane. Seems a bridge too far.
That said, Alaimalo and Stevenson are deadly. Stevenson in particular seems to scratch chances out of nothing.

Half time score: 10 all
Average game with lots of handling errors. Sharks could have been well ahead, but some of them just can't catch a ball. Considering all the players that they're missing, the Chiefs have done well. Hope they can do that for the full 80.

Stupid no-arms tackle from Fa'auli. Penalty for the Sharks and they're back in the lead again: 18-17 Sharks
TBF to Fa’auli I don’t think that was one of his normal no arms tackles per game, I just think he didn’t have a chance to wrap because he went so low.

Great try from Alaimalo. He's been quiet all game, but earns the Chiefs a useful bonus point at the end.
Full time: Sharks 28 - 24 Chiefs
Could have been worse.IMO Ardron, Ngatai & Stevenson were the Chiefs' best and Sowakula and Fa'auli the Chiefs' worst.

@stargazer Yep you're right, could have been much worse. I;ll settle for a bonus point in SA - isn't the worst outcome.
