QF: Chiefs v Reds

Donsteppa

Brodie and Aidan Ross would not be my ideal choice of forwards to try and run through.

antipodean

Just awesome from Retallick. Gets under the extremely limited Wilson and drives him backwards.

KiwiMurph

Harry Wilson showing why Eddie didn't pick him. 0 footwork.

Machpants

Beaudy needs take kick pass lessons from DMac

KiwiMurph

Some awesome hits out there

Nepia

I thought that was a bad hospital from DMac but it was really just a damn good tackle.

Can be both. But DMac is playing well so far - certainly looking better than Beaudy did last night.

antipodean

Finau with a huge (legal) shoulder in defense too. Smashed Vunivalu.

Donsteppa

Ice packs will be in high demand after this one...

Derpus

@antipodean for a big bloke Vunivalu is pretty soft in contact.

FAB next year for me

That scrum must have looked very different on Gardiners side than the camera angle

Finau plays rugby just to hurt people. Love him.

There isn't a better 6 in NZ now let alone in 12 months

Donsteppa

We're lucky that the Reds can't even kick over the proverbial sandcastle.

Wasn't expecting this tbh. Reds have brought the intensity and the Chiefs are looking rattled.

KiwiMurph

@mariner4life I want to see how Flanders goes tonight vs Brumbies.

Stargazer

Why isn't O'Connor taking over the kicking duties?

Nepia

I wish they'd go back to the lineout, looked suspiciously like they formed to the right with players in front of the ball.

Still, good work from the Reds to be two tries up over the Chiefs.

KiwiMurph

Narawa not showing well in front of Foz

Half time message to the Chiefs might be to focus on their core individual roles a lot more.
