Rebels v Chiefs

ARHS

And McMillan confirms there is some rotation in team selection. Retallick is back training so likely to return next weekend.

“There’s just a need to give some guys some minutes to try get our whole squad to a place where we’re fit and firing for a quarterfinal,”

That logic works well for me. So many injuries creating so many chances for player development.

ENS is out. Replaced by Tiatia

OK talking shit now... 1st TJ is our second best half, and now Josh Ione a smokey for the all Blacks..

These forwards need to improve their no look passes, seem many are going to ground recently.

Chiefs handling like a rugby ball is new to them.

Rebels have been really aggressive on D and borderline offside but working well.

chimoaus

Amazing a side could defend for phases and not get penalised.

@chimoaus and they are often well behind the advantage line and the man taking it is static or crabbing.

chimoaus

Rebels have started well. Chiefs struggling for territory. A bit like how the Canes started.

Grooter

just tuning in and I see it's a bay of plenty back three for the chiefs

It's very refreshing. NZ teams give away far too many penalties for stupid things while defending.

Yeetyaah

Boring

Rebels still struggle to create space. They’re better than the start of the year now they have some of the big runners in the forwards back.. but their attack still looks like the worst in the comp

chimoaus

I have to say having a player that can kick well and get you to half way on exit is so important in today's game. Such a disadvantage when you can't exit your own half.

chimoaus

Lovely forward interplay by Rebels. Chiefs are running on 3 cylinders at the moment.

chimoaus

Stupid by Cane, Chiefs have just been off for sometime, hard to pinpoint exactly what it is.

chimoaus

Chiefs lucky to only be behind by 3 at this stage.

Damo

Rebels score a try but the referee doesn't want a bar of it.

taniwharugby

@Damo yeah odd he didn't even want to have a look at it.

chimoaus

WTF, who is the skills coach if the Chiefs.
