    I don't think the Chiefs were as great pre-covid as some seem to suggest. They weren't just convincingly beaten by the Brumboys; they also lost at home to the Canes. They only beat the Crusaders due to a better second half, but weren't great in the first. Their two biggest wins were against the Sunwolves and the Waratahs ...

    Just putting it out here: is Gatland really such a good coach?

    I don't think he has shown much value yet (and won't get a possible payoff of his ways for quite some time). I was against him being appointed head coach while he had other commitments for that reason.

    I am amused that all the recent articles about Gatland/the Chiefs are coming from The Press journos.

    Collins says the club’s hierarchy remains “100 percent behind this coaching and playing group’’.

    Should've gone to Specsavers.

    This is becoming more common now, Glen Osborne joining the police a few years ago.

    Dunno if this was common knowledge, but I just saw Ryan Coxon in the supermarket and he has a cast on his wrist.

    Coxon was interviewed before the last home game and mentioned his injury. Jacobson's left hand was strapped too.

    @Yeetyaah I have no idea who it was. Opposite side of the field to me, and all those radio people are nobodies to me. 🙂

    @Bovidae Oh the MC with the dry humour and terrible pronunciation of players names? That's Anthony Niterl.

    You tricked me there.
    I thought I was going to get some analysis.

    Just a one liner "I think the attacking players are getting to the ruck faster, reducing opportunities"
