Chiefs v Hurricanes
-
Chiefs need to start both Te Toiroa & Alaimalo!
Get some of the forwards to do the grunt work instead of Cruden.

So you'd have to assume it's season over now for the Chiefs?
They can only spoil the other contenders now, but they’d have to show a huge improvement on the last couple of weeks.

@Yeetyaah yeah you will, thats just what you do as a fan!
But first you sincerely threaten not to go

@taniwharugby probably true. Extremely disappointed.

@Donsteppa yeah I do that all too often as a Northland fan!!

This made I laugh

I’m actually picking the Canes to win this one. Ardie, Dane and TJ to will them over for an unlikely win.

I'm surprised we weren't favourites for this one. Before the lockdown we lost away to the Stormers and at home to the Blues when we were down to 12 players. We are hardly a bad team, we just have a few journeymen in the forwards and poor depth.

I don't think anyone thought this was anymore than 50/50, nothing unlikely about the win at all. (Sorry to burst your Nostradamus bubble ).

Pretty good - especially given that O'Keefe got a bit confused in the rub of the green stakes - all those Chiefs players wearing red boots - he must have thought they were Canterbury!

Big defensive effort from the Hurricanes, especially Princep and Kirifi. Ardie Savea back in great form. I thought TJP had a good game too. A pleasing away win.
Agreed. Finally a game where he didn't lose his cool and try to win it all by himself. There's a decent halfback in there somewhere, but we see it far too rarely.

@Bones Clearly the two best.......
... Nah not even close
For a moment there I thought the line was still whirring!
Stunning performance by the officials in this match, did their best for the chiefs. Was it the first penalty on Jordie for clearly coming in the side? Trying to clean Boshier who's lying all over the tackled player but no matter. Then Boshier features again at the end with the brilliant steal on Fidow, entering from almost the exact angle Fidow did.
In a game where multiple penalties in the "red zone" doesn't get you even a warning, jumping across the lineout against a team consistently throwing to the outside arm will get you a yellow card. Feel free to throw in a late shoulder charge though eh.
Jordie showed his worth...jumped ahead of McKenzie that's for sure.
