Chiefs vs Blues 2022

Lowest point as a Chief’s supporter since Foster was in charge. Even the losses last year didn’t have me down like this as we at least competed.
Today, we were hardly in it.
Pretty pleased for the blues fans, as that franchise appears to be finally turning the corner, and lots of players -who should be ABs - really stood up on their side today.
For us, it’s pretty bleak. We’ll be rocks and diamonds (like many of our players) until we get our game drivers up to a consistent standard.

Well, that was a statement! Two things stood out for me. Maybe should be AB thread but at that pace and intensity, Sotutu and Barrett were bloody good!

Great display yesterday, especially with the effort we put in on defence. Ofa knocking the ball out of Taukeiaho's hand on halftime really broke the Chiefs spirits and gave us a huge lift with 13 men.
Can't really knock any of the Blues out there. Yes 3 of them got binned, but gave us a chance to see what our character is like as a group and it showed that there is plenty in this side.
Can we beat the Crusaders next week? History says we're no chance and its usually a foregone conclusion before the game starts, but we've gotta win down there sometime surely? This is our best chance to break our draught i feel.

Apparently Nock broke his hand early in the game last night.

@taniwharugby Christ, I hope we have some halfbacks available next week!

Wow, that adds to this game’s legendary status. Hope he didn’t fuck up his hand doing that.

Watching game now. Just got to the Cane obstruction.
Tough call as he was propelled into the defender that was 'obstructed.
The worst part of that call was them ignoring Canes contact to Heems head. So not only clear obstruction but a likely red card too.

The two touches by Beauden Barrett that showed how high his rugby IQ is
The Blues built a steady first half lead on the back of incredible defence before Barrett came up with the play that broke the Chiefs by pushing the visitors out to a 20-0 lead in the second half.
