Chiefs v Reds

@chimoaus there is a very good reason he was shown the door by the Crusaders…

And the Chiefs and Canes before that.....

Well done Reds. Played out of their tree. Their best match this season

Got a bit frustrated with Cortez Ratima. I find his time to clearance and decision making a bit flawed and think it puts pressure on those behind him. And our hookers made a few errors. Finau was a great warrior and ENS played well. Will be better with Cane Brodie Weber and Taukeiaho back.

A big wakeup for Chiefs. Probably needed.

Bryn Gatland gone for the season with a torn bicep.

Well done Reds, Chiefs did so well with 10 on the trot. Very common for teams to fall after such a good winning streak. Hopefully they can get back on track next week.

The Chiefs game drivers were very poor in this game but they still could have knicked it at the death. The Reds defence was very good though.

Not a game Thompson will look back on with any satisfaction.

This result may alter McMillan's plans for the final 2 games now.

Ioane will play an important role now.

I just have to say TTT must have the slowest clearance of any 9 in SR

His pass is also so slow and loopy now. He was Smith-like when he made the ABs but is now at the other end of the passing spectrum.

booboo

Watching delayed as per usual.

Lots of pretty rugby by the Chiefies. Whilst they've played the better rugby, they've really fucked up not to be leading.

Should be waay ahead, but they doing their best to keep the Reds in it.

Need to play a bit ugly to capitalise on their betternecity.

booboo

Got to 62 mins.

Ref calls not straight Chiefs after ignoring same by Reds all night

2012 the Chiefs won super rugby

2013 @Nepia switched allegiance to the Chiefs

2013 fucking taranaki switch to the Chiefs

Since 2013 what have we won? Nothing
And we play in the shithole called NP and we lose to a terrible side in Qld

Taranaki is where football teams (and Nepia) goes to die

Why are you telling lies? I came with Rennie, Cruden and Retallick in 2012. I'm one of the big four of the Chiefs rise to the top.

This win strengthens my case for Brad Thorn having a role with a Kiwi franchise.

booboo

Too much pretty.

Not enough ugly.

They certainly defended with his style of play. Not convinced of his actual coaching ability.

SBW1

@Kirwan Not suggesting a head coaching role, an assistant role of something along like that. There will be a few vacancies in about three franchises.

His time with the Reds is not impressive.

@Stargazer been a hell of an effort from the Reds,thought this would be a one sided romp given the injury toll they have

I think the Chiefs thought so too

Pretty sure the reds lost that fwd way back,,,,

That looked awfully like a forward pass.

The Finau try one? Would have liked to have seen some replays from above for sure

ENS such an improver

One of my favourite players to watch this season. Pity he plays for the real Evil Empire…
