Chiefs vs Blues 2022

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.

@nogusta and then didnt even get on after Nock broke his hand (although he probably didnt mention it at half time to the coaches?) which says alot about where they see him unfortunately, give the game was well in hand at 70 mins, reckon it was a prime time to give him a run.

Nock did have a ten min break, so maybe they figured that was a safer option. He might have just had a sore hand without realising it was broken.

Both his tries were pretty graceful...

Have the Chiefs scored yet?
It seems they were destined to never score a try last night.Man, that was a frustrating game to watch live. The Blues forwards certainly dominated the breakdown, and adapted to Williams better. I really question the decision to go for the lineout at the end of the 1st half when the Chiefs had a big advantage in the scrum. McMillan made some strange substitutions too.
