Will the Chiefs throw the pill to the wings like they did against the Brumbies as Parker is not known to be fast ?

Yeah, Parker is a 6/8 but McMillan has been playing him at 7. Boshier was often stationed out wide vs the Brumbies so maybe Parker will be doing the same.

Happy with the team, good to see Sam T get a start as he's a key go-forward player for the Chiefs. Not 100% sold on Ah Koui as a starter, an excellent impact player to bring on when the games starting to lose shape, but grinding out the hard yards in the tight to break the defense down? I'm not so sure.

Bosher has been adequate at 7 but not great so interesting to see how Parker goes. Glad to see Ratima get a start as while Roe's linking/support play and defensive organisation is really good, his pass out of the ruck is so slow, painfully slow...

I think a good choice to have Ioane at FB and SS on the wing. Caaombes fabling (ap for spelling) has been pretty underwhelimg so in effect I think it gets more spark on the field.

I wouldn't exactly write the Reds off, they've showen a bit of starch this year, I'm picking a tight tussle till about the 65th minute then the Cheifs to ease out as the game loses it's shape.

@Windows97 Yep I like Ah Koui off bench, but no probs with him starting. Good to see a bit of rotation to keep forwards frsh etc.

Jacobson you dumb shit

Pretty shit accuracy from the Chiefs to start the game

Canes4life

Fast paced but plenty of inaccuracies by both sides so far.

LCF passed that too quickly.

Chiefs in, that's a good result from the first visit.

gt12

Might have been lost there....

That's rough, was that into a Chiefs player or a Red's hand?

Good couple of passages of play there by the Chiefs. Disagree with the TMO, that looked to have hit a Reds player's arm, not a Chiefs' leg.

gt12

How often do those types of accidental offside happen anyway? At every second ruck?

gt12

Anything wrong with that you fucking fluffybunny TMO?

@gt12 Doesn't matter Chiefs are in.

They're a joy to watch when in full flow.

gt12

Dmac you fluffybunny, you have to kick those.

gt12

That's a fucking clear knock on you fluffybunny

A lock carried over the sideline by a tiny halfback and one of the smallest centres in the game.

@Bones

I assume he wasn't worried because the ball had been clearly knocked on in front of the ref 5 seconds earlier.
