@canes4life Rayasi worries me, he disappears for large parts of games.
As opposed to Savea who disappears for entire games?
See what I mean about Rayasi, he is just not putting himself into the game, I will be suprised if he starts next week after that performance, though I not sure who else we got as I would rather it not Savea either.

@canes4life And the Canes re-sign the coaches for two more years.
I don't think the officiating has cost the Canes any games. What is mostly missing is good decision-making, execution and discipline. That's due to lack of good leadership, inexperience of some players, and some players just not being good enough. The blame for that is mostly on the coaches, who sign the wrong players and select the wrong match-day 23 each week. This is a problem at all levels in the Canes, you saw it in the U20s, too.
The whole organisation needs a spring clean.
Wake me up when the board and the current coaching team are sent packing 😴

Rayasi was far more involved that Goosen in this game

A lot of it comes down to decision making which comes back to leadership. If there are two minutes to go, I don't know why you pass to Kirifi that far from the ruck. I would have thought pick and goes were the option as there is less chance of conceding a penalty. Then there is Kirifi's decision to try to hold onto the ball. He just has to release it. The Chiefs shouldn't be able to counter attack because our fullback should already be back deep waiting for a turnover.
It's quite amazing that with a weak scrum, bad halves combo and getting done at the breakdown that we came as close as we did. I think all we won was the lineout. I think it ultimately comes down to just not having the cattle in the squad. Last season we survived on individual brilliance. Right now we have no TJ or Ardie.

Goosen looked very off this game not his usual energetic self

@stargazer the organisation is a joke. It’s been hard enough being a Canes fan all these years but this is a new low. Even worse is the Canes have essentially pulled the big middle finger to the fans by extending the coaches contracts for another two years. They are rewarding poor performance which will manifest into low standards going forward, something that I’m not willing to pay money for until it changes. #hollandout #bunchofclowns

Chiefs a bit lucky to scrape in through front row dominance and Dmac's trusty boot. Really missed Luke Jacobson punch tonite with too much stutter stuff from the wingers needed. Aidan Ross had great all round game as well as pushing his opposite back. Hope Tiatia Trask and Luke are back from now on.

Some good points.
Canes, perhaps very luckily, found themselves ahead with about 8 to play.
For me, keep the pill and run the clock down is the mantra. Kick only where absolutely necessary, e.g. within 30m of line. Avoid penalties at all costs.
Instead, several speculators. 🤯
And Kirifi holds on in Chiefs half rather than just letting go.
Canes seemed to think they were playing in Blue.
Could have been a contender!

Captains referrals are awesome...said no one
That should have been a PK for offside. If the Chiefs captain was paying attention they wouldn't have needed the scrum PK.
If the ref had been paying attention they wouldn't have needed a captains referral.
O'Keeffe has to take as much blame for ignoring that missed lineout offside. It was so obvious to see for those of us in the crowd.

Who would have thought the Chiefs would be here, staring at the prospect of a final. I thought the Chiefs were due to lose a game and whilst I always had faith, I thought this might be the game. I was silent with my hands on my face for the final 5 minutes at the game, until DMac got the kick. Messy game though. Would be nice to have Trask back.

These crap exits drive me crazy
Frustrating eh. There was one exit in the 1st half where the ruck was inside the 22 but Weber passed again, and the next ruck was outside so they couldn't kick the ball out on the full.

I’m the same but unfortunately my cousin is coming down next week and I was pressured into going with her as she loves the Canes and never been to a game. If I had to pay for the tickets I definitely wouldn’t be going.

I thought that too Mikey. Regardless this seems to be norm for Rayasi, which pisses me off because he got so much going for him.
