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

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

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

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
-
Locks that can catch are rarer than moas in New Zealand.

I have a feeling some coaches need to watch Moneyball to get an insight into their teams makeup etc. I guess they figure Blackwell etc offer more than their weaknesses. Not sure.

@KiwiMurph fair call but I also think that is a result of players always wanting to play the low % play so thinking about what miracle off load they intend to do next without ensuring they catch the ball first.

@taniwharugby the SBW effect

"A rare error from Brynn Gatland". What rugby do these commentators watch?
