[Machpants]

That should be a yellow totally professionalism foul

On the plus side for the Chiefs their scrum is going better than expected.

That was a dreadful mistake there. Just keeps the Blues on attack

Yep, was worried about the set piece, but we seem to be doing okay there. Just dumb options kicking or passing the ball into Row 25 when we finally get the ball.

Fuck Christie passing is utter shit

Defence is good though...

That will be good for all the defending the ABs will be doing due to his passing.

1st job of a halfback is passing.

I should have stuck in an irony alert...

One-man defence machine, I tell ya.

[Donsteppa]

That last play kinda sums it up.

[BorderJB]

Darry - lord of the lineout

[Tim]

Happy with that. More of the same please.

[Frank]

Bloody hard to see the Chiefs winning this.
The Blues have the ideal playing style for the wet and the template to keep racking up points.

[Victor Meldrew]

Pressure, pressure, pressure from the Blues. Chiefs really haven't much of an answer.

…..and clears it like a young John Eales. Get that man in the ABs !!!

[Nepia]

Not looking good for the Chiefs.

Ah well they did their job, got rid of the Canes ...

[African Monkey]

@MN5 He did haha.

[Donsteppa]

Have had the nagging thought all week that no-one would out-stern Vern.

Clayton is on the right track, but still has 20 years of sternness and GOM-ness to catch up on.

[Tim]

Chiefs will come out and run hard and spin the ball.

Stevenson will drop it

[MN5]

Holy shit. Eden Park is having a rave at half time

[gt12]

Blues set piece and carry clean doing the job.

Chiefs disciple and some silly errors have made sure they have had few chances (and given them opportunities). They aren’t really in the game. Yet.

I cant see us getting there, hopefully the 2nd half is a bit more competitive.

But can he kick a penalty from 40?

[Mr Fish]

Chiefs need to win their lineout and take their chances. Simple stuff, really.

Of course, if the Blues start taking all their chances too then it's going to remain one-way traffic.
