What a year Stephenson is having.

Although he started the game like he had a few distractions (in his head).

@mikey07 it makes you wonder if the player and/or the RPA have a bit of say too.

I agree, there would seem no reason for some of those unavailable to be so, but they are...

I missed the start. So I believe now he only plays well if I'm watching.

I'll set up a GoFundMe for chiefs fans to donate in order for me to watch all their games.

@Bones Yeah as funny as it sounds, having ABs back to play in this comp isn't necessarily a benefit. Most of them are only there for a bit of gametime and aren't usually up to speed with tithe team patterns etc.

[Tim]

Hope there is some better rugby in the 2nd half. Two teams playing poorly under pressure.

[African Monkey]

@Tim NH look more threatening on attack imo.

[mikey07]

@taniwharugby The only thing I can possibly think of is Coles age and his workload which sounds ridiculous but I honestly can’t think of another reason why he couldn’t play.

[taniwharugby]

@African-Monkey Ofa has slotted in well in our, er, patterns...but otherwise agree, isn't always a good thing, can be disruptive to the team

[mikey07]

@Bones Only because we don’t really have any back up after O’Reilly

[Chris]

Gatland off

[Tim]

So isolated there.

[Tim]

Stevenson to 1st five?

[taniwharugby]

@Chris HIA?

[African Monkey]

Haha 3rd NH kick go hit the post.

[Steven Harris]

That’s a YC all day

[Tim]

Harbour finishing the season strong. Auckland look like a rabble.

Must be,or something nastier after that knee.

[Tim]

Card there. Direct contact?

[taniwharugby]

@Chris should really have gone straightaway then if he was fine the halftime break woulda been his time off?
