Brumbies vs Chiefs

[Chris]

When is the experiment with McKenzie playing First Five going to end, He's a Fullback who can tear teams apart not a crab for a first Five running to the sidelines every time. FFS if he is 2nd choice for the AB's as a First Five we are in trouble come WC.

Very concerning for the Chiefs, perhaps the player drain is catching up with us. Remove a few All Blacks from sides and they look like they are playing club rugby. The cliche "Plenty to work on" must be fucken etched in every NZ players brain.

Can I just put it on record that I am a Cantabrian and it pains me to see the Chiefs lose like this - hope they manage to turn their season around.

I must admit I found it difficult to like Aucklanders once upon a time, but that was only for a few hours in 1985, before the beers kicked in. And Hawkes Bay supporters would not openly admit they were HB supporters so they were obviously fake.

My wonder is this: do we actually see a repeat of the Chiefs of old, where the coaches were left to go on delivering dross, or does Cooper cop the flak?

[Donsteppa]

I always figure that mid-year defenders of DMac at first five in the ABs squad... weren’t fully following the Chiefs during super rugby...

A great fullback though.

W The actual F??? What was that?

A stag do with biking and karaoke and they were both more enjoyable than the rugby.

😡

What did you sing?

Could've done a variation on this one...

[Nepia]

@Chris-B I didn't sing, I just listened, it was painful, but less painful than that Chiefs performance.

If there was a similar Moana version to that song I would have been all over it.

[Chris B.]

@Nepia Something we finally agree on.

Fuck Karaoke!

[Nepia]

@Chris-B I thought we'd already agreed that your unholy union were poaching bastards who hog loose forwards?

[Chris B.]

@Nepia Just loose forwards? You're still not paying attention!

Mitch Hunt. Fletch Smith. Marty Banks. James Marshall.

Owen Franks. Kane Hames. Wyatt Crockett. Tim Perry. Tyrel Lomax. Ben May. Sam "The Rock" Prattley....

It's a stealth takeover!

metres-carried stats of 463-165 tell a story, as do the defenders beaten (23-12), clean breaks (15-2) and offloads (13-3), with Cooper believing they were undone by a combination of missed tackles (23 of 104 attempted) as well as their structure not being as good as it should be. Added to the worry is a pack which ended up getting belted at scrum time and with the rolling maul.

Chiefs looked lazy up front except for ten minutes just after half time.

DBag isn't a flyhhalf''s ring piece. Massive defensive liability as well - just run at him all night.

Tom Banks keeps that form up, he will be Wallabies fullback.

BWAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA who am I kidding? Cheika will pick Folau even tho he can't pass.

[Crucial]

Chiefs were shite, real stinky processed food type shite.

That is all.

[Hooroo]

Give the Crusaders the trophy, us the spoon and bring on the world cup.

Cooper can poke off. We are the Blues of 2018

I think we also did this last time - props yes. Your list of average 10s no.

@Nepia Coaches, as well - Leon, KK, Andrew Goodman, Hammer....Toddy is away seeking global domination!
