Chiefs vs Lions

[sparky]

I hope the Chiefs can turn this round in the second half, but the Lions are a quality outfit.

They have been crap all season. Have got a few players back but Chiefs are playing into their hands. Too many mistakes given how poor their scrum is.

[Stargazer]

Both Lions' tries were a bit dodgy IMO.

With Debreczeni looking like he's suffered a bad injury, the Chiefs stocks for the 10/15 jersey are getting smaller and smaller. Beaver back next week?

@Duluth said in Chiefs vs Lions:

Pretty sure it’s the ABs asked him to swap sides. Ofa and Karl did it earlier in the season

One of the (likely) 5 RWC props will need to cover both sides

Doubtless the explanation, but it's a bit weird. Big Karl and Ofa are already slated as being able to play both sides and most likely both of them make the team.

Along with Moody, Franks and Laulala - or just possibly Hames.

Is Ta'avao playing both sides really going to elevate him from about 7th?

Chiefs missing too many of their talismans, I think. No Retallick, no Cane, no McKenzie.

[KiwiMurph]

Sucks to see the young Lion 10 get injured like that.

[sparky]

Whitley's kick for Dyantyi was an absolute beauty.

[Tim]

Missing from last week's starting XV:

Harris
Retallick
Manu
Alaimalo
McKenzie

[Yeetyaah]

@sparky The kick was good, too bad about the blatant offside.

[antipodean]

Post right next to him and he tries to drive over, gets held up. Chiefs are just playing dumb rugby.

[hydro11]

Great defence there from the Lions.

[Stargazer]

Good to hear the commentators say that Debreczeni has "nothing serious".

[antipodean]

Don't have any ball, behind on the scoreboard - kick it away.

[Stargazer]

Great break from Brad Weber! Try time!

[antipodean]

Good try coming as a direct result of heads up by Weber.

[Stargazer]

Woweeeeee!

[Nepia]

Now the Chiefs decide to start playing.

[Yeetyaah]

Weber is in good form. Wainui had kicked it up a gear.

[Chris]

Mmmmm if McKenzie could find the posts the Chiefs could get home here

Certainly looks like it. Look completely different holding the ball and passing to players in space.

[Tim]

Great kick.
