Ah Kuoi to lock, so MSR for me becomes target for 90% which he will handle with ease if thrown straight.

Not too concerned about the resting or line up and quite confident actually about this game

Ah Kuoi is a good lineout operator. Hope the Rebels think they way you do and mark up on MSR

wooo.. lol .. I honestly think MSR is better than a lot rate him, mark him up bro, I don't think it will make a difference. He might fail peoples favourite person criteria but as a lock it will take a lot to stop him. I am going to assume he is fit it will be Laghlan McWhannell and him to finish which is going to be a very strong combo. (probably a starting line up elsewhere).

Not saying that Finau or Ah Kuoi aren't options just believe if he is intended target and throw is straight he will nail it. Famous last words obviously ..

The Chiefs options at lock are ridiculous : BBBR, Vai'i, MSR, McWhannell, Lord (when back from injury), Finau, Ah Kuoi. They could have given a few to the Blues ...

Late change

DMac in for Ioane on the bench

[Stargazer]

@KiwiMurph There goes Dmac's ABs rest break (assuming he has to have them). Will need to take it another game.

Blackwell says hi.

[KiwiMurph]

I actually quite like the Rebels away pink. Makes a nice change from bland white.

[Duluth]

Ili is in great form

[chimoaus]

Rebels appear well drilled early. Chiefs giving away a few penalties which is hurting them.

[chimoaus]

Rebels score early 8-0 with kick to come.

[taniwharugby]

Rebels 9 is tiny.

Rebels do look handy

[Steven Harris]

Superb from the Rebels just what this game needed as a contest

[Duluth]

Nice, that makes the game more interesting for a neutral. Solid Rebels lead early

How the flying fuck is that not obstruction?

Rebels using the Irish playbook by the looks. Lots of players in motion causing confusion.

Both players in front took out the defenders which created the hole.

[KiwiMurph]

Carter Gordon will be making Eddie Jones take note

[antipodean]

Chiefs are their own worst enemy so far. Poor tackles, poor ball security and a lot of looking at each other like "I'll leave that for you".

Trust me it pisses me off also but most teams use this tactic on purpose. If the refs won't do anything it's up to defensive coaches to combat it.

[Yeetyaah]

Christ this sucks so far. Chiefs been drinking from the same piss pond as the Highlanders.
