Chiefs v Brumbies

[gt12]

That was a weak finish for the Chiefs, but what it did show is that across the 5 teams there are some dangerous players in Oz.

Brumbies bench 9 was far better.

He looks really good.

[Donsteppa]

I expected that to be a much closer game. Overall a very good shift from the Chiefs.

[gt12]

Very pleasing (and surprising) result, Fantastic effort by the front 5(8) to set the platform and negate their key strengths.

Jacobson must have been MOTM I imagine?

DMac for me, he was involved in everything, attack, defence.

Is Lowe injured? Seems odd to take him off if not. Especially if Tiatia is going to the wing.

When the teams walked of the field, Lowe had ice strapped on, or just under, his knee and he was limping a bit. Hopefully it's not too bad and he can play, next week. He had a great game. It's a pity his "try" was disallowed. It was a beauty. Great turnover, too, and a try-saving tackle.

Of the back three, Tiatia was the weakest. Why does he keep getting picked?

Though ALB was awesome again. Great game from Dmac, too. Best forward was Jacobson IMO. Ross was good, too.

Had enough good moments to warrant another go.
Coaches have said that they haven’t been pleased with their back three options with no one stringing performances together and demanding selection. This might be a chance for him.

Watched game this morning. Thought Sullivan did add a bit of explosiveness badly needed out wide. Lowe is like Wainui very solid but not a line breaker. Sullivan has acceleration and strength. Was interested to see changes in Dmac's game so evident. Has become very physical and runs from isolation far less often. Presumably instructions from coaches. Thought Jacobson Boshier Taukeiaho and Ross were all extremely good. But the restricted line out targets is a continued achilles heel. Hopefully Finau and Ah Kuoi are available next week. Not sold on Sowakula.

Luke Jacobson is playing some terrific Rugby right now. He's making a very compelling case for All Black selection, he just turns up and plays great rugby week in, week out,
