Chiefs v Hurricanes
-
Beauden's leadership was piss poor tonight. His decision making when we had the Chiefs under the pump on numerous occasions was rookie level. How many times has he kicked the ball away in the red zone over the last two years when we have been hot on attack? I've honestly lost count. He just looks disinterested.
Defs a cripple fight tonight.

That kick that I presume was for Jordie was pitiful. Cringeworthy.
Who was the prick who knocked on a metre out right near the end? That was shocking.

@Rancid-Schnitzel I know! A real frustration is that the guy with the most destructive power on the bench is stuck behind arguably our greatest hooker. Raw as anything but he adds some sting for sure. God I wish he was a prop!
Bidwell-curtis may get a start next week, maybe with our SA recruit. Vaea goes better at 6 too.

Stoked with how the Chiefs played tonight. Jerseys looked great. ALB was huge. Manu proved his worth. Good hustle from the forwards finally. Laumape disappeared. Canes knockes countless balls on. Rats that it wasn't a Chiefs win but happy with the game.
-
As a Chiefs supporter I was quite disappointed with the seemingly planned substitutions. The impact of Luke Jacobsen begs the question as to why he was not on sooner. And, I felt they paid the price for taking Webber off at a critical time again, losing the threats he poses.
Why can't Chiefs scouts secure talent like others do? Tiatia, Kirifi and Toby Smith all had good impact.

His little cameo was impressive! But yeah, pity he's unlikely to get much time with Coles looking really good.
Like the look of Bidwell-C.

That cripple fight meme from earlier in the thread was accurate. Fair result imo, with some good rugby and some shocking rugby by both sides.
That's my assessment as well. A cripple fight albeit with some impressive able-bodied stuff occasionally thrown in.
As good as Tiatia was, he was the guy who gifted the Chiefs 7 points at the start of the game.
He wasn't exactly left with too many options by that amazing Barrett pass....but it's Beauds eh?
Cmon Bones he still had ample time. Pass was shit, but can't blame pass for that kick. Retarded logic
I can blame the pass quite easily, in equal parts with the kick - it gave ALB oodles of time to get onto Tiatia's left boot. But yep, shit kick.
Boulderdash. He didn't even need to kick.
He doesn't kick it's a turnover anyway

Lay off the turps. Holy shit this has taken a turn for the fucking surreal.

@Rancid-Schnitzel wouldn't have happened if Jordie was in the 12 jersey.

Probably would have the way he's been playing recently. Poor giraffe looks lost.

He's by himself behind his support with defenders bearing down on him. His best option was kick.

You are either drunk or haven't even bothered to watch the play again. By himself behind his support ffs.

Good match from what I saw. DMac and BB were both incredibly busy and involved a lot.
Excellent super rugby match.
I agree, fun to watch. What DMac has is speed and skills - and his option taking has been improving. Reckon there's enough there to have him in my test 23

He'd just missed a key tackle that left the Chiefs in shit down the short side. The threat he posed was that someone would run over him one more time and the game would be lost.
I think Weber is in poor form, tbh. He throws a number of appalling passes every game, and his defence is suspect.
-
Weber looks well off the pace to me. Hesitant at the breakdown and his passing is erratic at best.
