Wait... What...did I see that right? Wainui is only 23?

KiwiMurph

@Bones yep. I remember him being on the Mitre 10 Cup scene the same year he was U20s NZ.

Marty Mckenzie has an unerring ability to kick straight to the man who the chiefs aren’t chasing up on.

antipodean

Why would Marty Mac kick turnover ball away, especially when the Sharks have players back to receive it?

Stargazer

The Sharks trying to milk penalties doesn't quite work with this ref.

Stargazer

I hope the TMO is checking that collision in the air.

antipodean

ALB to the rescue with a try saving cover tackle.

I miss dmac in chiefs games ,

From an entertainment point of view , just miss that , wonder what’s going to happen next feeling

gt12

My goodness, the kick chase needs some work.

Bones

@KiwiMurph cheers. Geez for some reason I thought he was way older.

Second clearing option also needed. Who’s our new James Lowe? Can Stevenson do that role? It doesn’t seem Alaimalo’s forte.

gt12

Good try.

gt12

Really nice to see Moli back and making an impact.

Stargazer

Bugger

Crap, poor take there by Alaimalo. Sharks in.

antipodean

Coaching tip for Cooper: Select a fullback that can catch.

@antipodean

I don’t get it - don’t both of them know he’s better on the wing?

10 all now after 3 shit minutes from the Chiefs.

Stargazer

Yusssss, Karpik!
