Chiefs v Brumbies (round 4)

[antipodean]

On the bright side, this could be the game to reset the Chiefs' season.

[nzzp]

That's it for the Chiefs. Really grumpy about variable calling on 'not straight' though .. calling it when there's 3 minutes to go and it hasn't been called all game is a bit shit

[Jailbreak7]

DMac seems gunshy
Counter rucking from the ponies has been good Chiefs could learn a thing or two

[Steven Harris]

How good has the Brumbies defence been in the last 10 minutes ..?,plenty of sting and intensity..!,Chiefs have been better in the 2nd half ,but killed their own momentum with a suspect lineout when it really mattered ..not to sure who I should blame for that one ,tell you what ,I will just let the team as a collective take the blame for that one 😜

[nzzp]

@Steven-Harris That try after half time killed them. Don't conced that, and you're on like kong here

[junior]

Losing Kiwi team beaten up in the forwards again... quel surpris

[NTA]

Couple of soft turnovers - strip, counter ruck, unforced error. Chiefs their own worst enemy last 15

[sparky]

Chiefs really missed Bolshier. Resting a player in such fantastic form was a mistake.

Been this theory going around as he was injured that a dit DMac would have made all the difference at RWC.

This game reveals that theory to be poke.

Yeah, let's ignore all games that DMac played (including tests) before injury and rate him on this abortion alone.

[Bones]

So if the Canes beating the sharks after the Highlanders lost to them shows how shit the Highlanders are...what does this result mean for the chiefs? 😳

[Steven Harris]

@nzzp totally agree..Brumbies have well worth their win,their whole roster has been very good this evening..some will hate this ,but its just what this comp needed ..a massive boil over,and from an Aussie team no end..!

[Yeetyaah]

Well fuck me. Probably couldn't go the whole season undefeated. McKenzie, and majority of forward pack was shit. Soni needs to work on his throwing or convert to a loose forward.

Going to happen again and again and again, until our sides pick and develop Forwards that are Forwards and do the job of Forwards, rather than honorary backs.

There were gaping holes in his game when he was good. People accepted them, or at least overlooked them, because of the positive impact his attack had.

He's been decidedly average this year and dogshit in this game. There's no upside to his play.

less of the 'athlete', more of the 'mongrel'.
