Chiefs v Rebels

[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".

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.

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.

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

Rebels are playing well. There's an opposition as well.

[taniwharugby]

@KiwiMurph yeah Rebels playing well, but Chiefs not helping themselves, no cohesion

[antipodean]

Jacobsen just goes from poor to worse.

Does anyone keep track of basic errors per game or just stupid plays or passes. Fuck me it seems to be an issue with NZ teams lately.

He's a weird player. Has never really kicked on as hoped.

[Yeetyaah]

Etene having a shocker already

[taniwharugby]

@antipodean poor decision there alright

I was going to post earlier that New Zealand teams seem to have an overabundance of really fucking thick players. And the last few seasons a real drop off in basic skills.

Case in point another pass to no one followed up by another knock on.

[chimoaus]

As Axel Rose said Chiefs need a little Patience.

[Yeetyaah]

Finally something clicks

[taniwharugby]

@antipodean I dunno if its a skills issue, more a dumb arse / decision making issue, always going for the low % play.

That was some individual brilliance but that last pass was almost fucked up.

[Bones]

What a try. Narawa looking like NMS there.

Ratima not looking so flash starting.

[Yeetyaah]

MSR is a flop

It's also a skill issue. The same players have rubbish hands every week. Blackwell, Tuipulotu, Laulala, Kirifi, PGS etc.

[Steven Harris]

Really poor from the Rebels ,you’ve a knock on advantage which gives you free play to minipulate your field exit but instead you kick it straight back to Narawa who punishes you
