Chiefs vs Force

TKB is injured...jeez, when is the Chiefs bye?
 
Was listening to Rennie on the radio today, he reckons Pulu is probably one of the quickest in NZ rugby right now.

Force, Brumbies, Blues and then the bye. After that it's only three games to the next bye and only two games to the June test break.
 
Gutted TKB and ALB are out but at least both replacements are quality. Hopefully TKB comes back real soon though, as I think the TKB and Weber combo is pretty fantastic. They compliment each other really well, whichever one starts, the other changes things up once they come on and can catch defences unaware.
 
And, of course, stoked to see Donald on the bench.

The Force will be gutted to see no Yamashita there.

The Chiefs bench does not exactly fill any opposition with any trepidation. The injury toll has certainly cut really deep into their playing stocks.

Here's an article about Hammington. In this instance he cut short a holiday in Melbourne - respect. I didn't realise he is a similar size to Weber.

So who's going to do the commentary for me tonight? 
What sort of shit public health system do we have when the tight arses won't fork out for sky tv....

No score. Force had the ball for a year and a day and nothing happened.

11 gone and the Chiefs look like they just got back from flying around the world. 
As I say that they go the length of the field and Mckenzie scores

Possibly a score however suspect it will go to the TMO for a review of a forward pass? Great work by McKenzie.

Force couldn't capitalize early, and it's 5-0 after 13.

About 3 of those passes could have been checked

Always better with two

Awesome try but I thought there was a law about diving on a ball around a ruck being illegal? (Cane).

gt12

Chiefs doing well to try to control territory. Two good kicks by Ngatai. 
Lowe had a bad one that put them under pressure, but they seem happy to kick for territory.

gt12

Force penalized for wheeling at the scrum. 
Chiefs chance - line out on 22.

gt12

Stupid. Chiefs set up an illegal maul. 
Both teams are laughably offside around the ruck. Literally, right in fucking front of the ref?

gt12

Masurewa with a big break, but shut down. Can't capitalize straight away... 
Chiefs concede a penalty though.

A few of the hits could have been checked as well. :)

5-3 after 22. 
Force don't seem to be able to take advantage of the chances they are getting. Hopefully they'll regret that...
