Chiefs v Rebels

Steven Harris

@gt12 I really do wonder at the end of the day ,if a lot of the NZ teams knowing they have got their oppositions number and just decided to go wide as opposed to grinding some of these teams down with our earning the right to go wide ..dropping their standards and letting opponents back in .

3, 2, 1 - Which is worse?

Tupaea?
The ref?
The Chiefs defence?

The varying pronunciation of Toomua has been the highlight of the match.

Yeetyaah

Someone kick the ball out Jesus Christ

Imagine not getting a bonus point against the worst Australian team.

The Chiefs -because of unexpectedly playing 3 games away from home - have only a limited squad with them in Oz (they only sent two players home after last weekend, and brought in two new players). That limits the coaches' choice of selection. Not sure who or what they could have changed, but if I were them, I'd consider asking some players to pack their bags on both sides of the Ta$man and to travel for next game.

That last pk was a bit of a head scratcher. The player was bending down to challenge for the ball and got cleaned out. Looked fine to me.

Playing away yet again and no DMac. Not a bad result all things considered, and lots of defence work on’s at training this week…

I honestly think that the Chiefs are just trying to do enough to not get embarrassed.

The competition is already over for them and they are probably just trying to get the win and not get hurt.

Its a real shame that Lord is gone as now the set piece will be fucked for the final game of the year.

Roll on next year.

@gt12 you're playing the Tahs next week. Your set piece will be fine.

One more week left. Have to make sure we keep that Waratahs losing streak going.

Quinn Tupaea had been shit. That pass was also forward from the Rebels but whatever.

He’s completely lost on the wing. Why do they do that?

Hey, that's my broken record!

What the fuck is McMillan doing with the back subs? I only watched the 2nd half but I knew the backline that finished the game would look dysfunctional when I saw Sullivan going to the bench.

An average team performance from what I saw. I'll have to scan through the 1st half to see how Lord got hurt.

KiwiMurph

@bovidae Lord got hurt in the first few mins - looked like an accidental boot to the face.

ALB what a player. He's going to be a lynchpin of the ABs backline for the next 5 years or so.

Without Dmac and Cane the Chiefs look like an NPC side.
