Two tackles off the ball in that play. Hope NMS is okay.

Hope so too.
The niggle is an obvious tactic going into the game. They have had two hard physical local games and the Canes are soft and not ready for it.

Chiefs forwards seem to have a bit more mongrel. Bird and BBBR are a very impressive combo.

Blackeye

Well i was wrong, more than 15 mins into the second half and coles hasn't done anything stupid

Yep. When BBBR is in agro mode then you know he's going to have a big game.
The opposite to TJP.

Doesn't look as easy when not playing the Sunpuppies or the Rabble

I'm in shock. I was certain we were going to put 70 points on this Chiefs rabble. What the hell is going on?

WHAT THE FUCK!!! The 9 joined the ruck!

Chiefs scramble defence is excellent

No Quarter

Fuck TJP nearly butchered that.

Stargazer

You can say what you want about TJP, but that was an excellent try!

Stargazer

@No-Quarter No, he didn't.

TJ manages to channel his rage into a superhuman reach for the line

Despite the Chiefs yelling at the referee, they never affected the tackle on Perenara.

Yup very crusaderish with amount of penalties they're giving away in their own 22 this year. But you cant argue with the results

Couple of interesting calls - didn't look like the Chiefs backs were actually offside for the DMac kick on the replay and what's the tackle rule? TJ had a knee on the ground, is that considered a tackle?

chimoaus

I wonder what the current try scoring record for half backs is in super rugby.

He's a very good player but plays so much better with a clear head. He gets too wound up for my liking and the Chiefs have shown that you can easily put him off his main game

Have to watch the replay but didn't look like it to me.

Gunner

I'm unsure of the rule, but I'd have thought when TJs hands hit the ground, while held would constitute a tackle?

Great strength showed by him to come.back after the initial hit.

His pronounciation of Oh-tere Black drives me nuts.
