Chiefs vs Sunwolves

[gt12]

I know Michael Little in a roundabout way, and he's been excellent. We've all enjoyed cheering him on tonight and I think he's been the best on park. Well done SWs!

[chimoaus]

Why do the commentators keep saying Chiefs are quality and were competition favourites.

I straight up hate you hopeless bastards.

ALB and BBBR to play only as hard as to keep themselves match fit. Don't kill yourselves trying to carry this collection of mediocrity.

Well done Sunwolves played really well, enjoy your night in Hamilton

[Siam]

Created history, how lovely of the Chiefs to make that happen

[broughie]

Not only the Chiefs but NZ rugby, except the Crusaders, has been horrible to watch.

[Steven Harris]

Congratulations to the Sunwolves..can recall a couple or so seasons back when the chiefs scored a late try to beat the sunwolves at home which saved some very embarrassed looks.
Well and truly comprehensive from the visitors on the scoreboard ..

[Canerbry]

So very,very poor. Embarrasing for a kiwi team. Making history is one thing, doing it in such a shithouse manner is another.

Come home Brodie, all is forgiven.

@broughie 2019, the year we realised our talent was actually leaving in concerning numbers...

The Canes looked pretty good last night.

Just because the Chiefs played a couple of shit games?

No. What happens when teams rest ABs?

[broughie]

@Stargazer Agree but they were horrible against the Crusaders. But we were dominating last year except for the Blues and this year not even close.

[Siam]

@Bones no.
Because each team other than the crusaders has already looked limited at one time or another. Squad personnel cannot be ignored and is an irritating niggle when the one of the lesser 4 in the NZ conference have played

But I agree, 3 rounds means little. Bit different from previous years though

[Bones]

Jesus it's 3 rounds in people. The Chiefs have looked cake the last couple of games, the sky isn't falling.

Crusaders looking nigh on unstoppable.

Hurricanes looking very good.

Highlanders rebuilding nicely.

Blues looking better.

Just who have the Chiefs lost in the off-season that would have changed things?

[Bones]

Fucken Chiefs! They just showed a replay of the lions tour game. Didn't click that it was the Chiefs that set them off before the second test...

[98blueandgold]

Looking at that chiefs side only 1/2 dozen players are NZ side starting 15 quality. They really look by far the weakest Team/ squad NZ has produced for a long time. The fa t Nankivel was best player says it all.

Because it makes it even funnier

[gt12]

@Bones

Maori Jesus, for starters.

And, Messam.

So two of the older, wiser, and classier heads in the team.

Edit:

But, actually, your point stands, because those of us who looked at the recruiting were pissed off because the team this year looked worse than last year.
