@kiwiwomble hahaha faaaaark off. I'm stopping the Nareki slander. Good win, well deserved.

Ha! Loved that! Frizell was huge! He is just getting better every season.

I thought Frizell went well too. I do like how he plays.

I've just seen the Nareki highlights. Some disgraceful defence.
No half competent team should give up that many straight points to go from a great position to well beaten.
We're fucked.

I like it how the ‘safe’ 10 goes off after contributing strongly to us losing us the game, so now we’ll have to chase it.
Gatland is just not good enough at this level
We have to endure JGB so come on have some sympathy for them. We know how Nepia and the Chiefs supporters must be feeling!

And we have ioane who can be very hit an miss...maybe everyone’s expectations are a bit high, there are only so many Barrett’s

@bones said in Chiefs v Highlanders:
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?
Simply because his arm only went up when he was tackled around the ankles and falling forward toward an on coming player. It was instinct to protect his head. These rules are all about player safety but a player isnt allowed to protect themselves from potential injury. Ioane ran into his arm not the arm running into Ioane.

One, there's only one.

Do you mean at Super level? He had a dip in form at international level. The Tongan needs to transfer his super form to test level.

I do. I was hoping he went OK. He will never do anything brilliant but he has to do the basics well (as JGB mostly does). He failed even with this. His stupid 14 point kick was idiotic
Give me JGB any day over Gatland. But TBH I would give him another go next week. And if he fails again the Chiefs need to look at how they are recruiting players. and make the necessary changes. And urgently

Nah, NZ Rugby Player of the Year.
I tend to just laugh when people put down Cane these days. It's a bit comical.

So long as it is SR level.
Akira has far more physicality than him at international level.
Far more.
