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

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

That's a rough penalty really, it appeared to be a slip, and the scrum set anyway.

Chiefs need to use their forwards before going wide. Patience.

Kirwan

Huge try

Donsteppa

Much better.

Hard for @Derpus to complain about the reffing in this one with an all Aussie officials team.

I don't think it will be hard for him at all!

That's a lovely try. Great way to close out the half.

Machpants

Great try, patience

Kirwan

Nothing more important than a try before and after halftime.

Tim

Great try. Well worked.

Donsteppa

More patient, no gifting the ball away with short kicks, making the forwards work, then taking the space.

16 - 10 at half-time.

Machpants

Lovely kick

Derpus

@Kirwan here we go.

Really enjoyable half of rugby

@nostrildamus jog on. My disdain for SR referees is indiscriminate.

I can confirm that, Derpus is pretty consistent on most things he says wherever he posts etc!

Reds show their round robin win was no fluke. Played shit for most of the season but somehow have the antidote to much of the Chiefs' kicking game, probably parking their back three further behind or something, I don't know. Some strong ruck work from them, too. Scrum was weird.
PGS has to take accountability for that first try after the 5m scrum, that was embarassing.

Gardiner - I'm not going to award players trying to milk penalties (as the chiefs get accused of pushing the ball into reds players, when all they're doing is laying it back on their side).

Also Gardiner - penalty against Sam Cane for tackling on the ground (as Cane gets run over whilst trying to get up from the previous ruck).
