Punivai seems to seriously lack pace and power.
Killing me. Why would he not pass that? 2 on 1 outside him in plenty of space.

Nareki came way off his wing to give them that space
Yeah was poor. Chiefs starting to get up for it.
Looks like the injuries in this comp are adding up. Tupaea (sp?) would be a big loss
Then Tupea and ALB get a turnover! Looks like he's ok, thankfully
That’s good, because that last penalty came about from Lenjtes being on his hands first in the ruck that lead to the penalty - it should have been a Chiefs penalty

@kiwimurph He's never a threat on attack. Even struggles on attack at NPC level.
He has always been a centre in his younger days before Canterbury stuck him on the wing he’s not a wing.

That’s tough as you boys know that have played going for a chest hit to stop the offload and they duck down it’s hard to go with them we need to be more forgiving in that situation
That’s against what WR want though. That want the coaching and players to stop those high risk tackles that end up making head contact accidental or not. If that means more offloads and flow then maybe that’s actually a good thing?
Saw a bit of one of the games from Japan this afternoon and a player was RC’d for going in upright and making accidental head on head contact. He was going for that chest hit but could have easily gone a little lower and put his head down. -

But sure we need less head contact totally agree. -

I know that all teams do it but there’s no way that in those overthrown line outs the receiver stayed 10 metres back until the ball crosses the 15
Until the ball leaves the hand
Must have missed that law change
