Chiefs v Highlanders

[Donsteppa]

Clayton rebuilt the Steamers from the rubble that Kevin Schuler left. Looks like he's got a similar job in front of him for the Chiefs...

@kiwimurph Not close to being the same player, used to be a brutal defender. Not an 8 either.

Etene Nanai-Seturo has as many yards as Nareki - they are just all sideways #stats

The Chiefs deserve this whipping for being pussys when they had a chance to come back. I’m starting to question whether Cane has it as a captain.

@gt12 def the wrong decision that one, and turned out to be important

I cant see any reason for that decision unless you are sure you can exit and keep them out. Zero evidence that we can do either.

[Yeetyaah]

Was that call just? I feel like the hand hit him first and the elbow followed? Idk man fuck.

[Yeetyaah]

"Referral came outside the 10 seconds." Yeah coz Smith wouldn't shut the fuck up.

[gt12]

I’m not sure why people wanted captain’s challenges.

[Stargazer]

@yeetyaah They literally said his arm hit Ioane's chest first and then slipped up.

[taniwharugby]

not convinced with that

[Stargazer]

@yeetyaah No, he was already walking back, so hadn't thought about it until Smith did.

[antipodean]

Perhaps the problem wasn't Garland's coaching.

[KiwiMurph]

It's not all doom and gloom for the Chiefs. They looked bloody useful first half.

Amazing second half Landers.

[Bones]

I don't understand how him being tackled is mitigation for that. What...so it would have been better if he hit him in the head?

[taniwharugby]

Chiefs cant buy a trick the last 50 mins!

Not sure many woulda had the HIghlanders winning this, let alone 16 points

Roe has looked really good.

[Yeetyaah]

@antipodean yeah it's the shitty forwards with no hustle or support play.

More opportunity for someone to play music at the ground.

[gt12]

Well, fuck, time to get drunk.

Good on the landers, some great play - one man looks like the difference, but the Chiefs lack of set piece and accuracy is the more worrying one.
