Aupiki FINAL - Chiefs Manawa v Matatū

[Yeetyaah]

Best crowd I've seen at an Aupiki game.

[Yeetyaah]

Hazel's kicks in play and clearance kicks have been very good so far

[Yeetyaah]

Shit that was a good try. Manawa not great on defence.

[KiwiMurph]

This is a cracking game.

[Yeetyaah]

Georgia Daals is awesome

[Yeetyaah]

No obstruction there?

[Yeetyaah]

Awful ref

[KiwiMurph]

Matatu have been the far better team after the first 20 minutes.

[Yeetyaah]

CAN MANAWA CATCH THE BALL PLEASE OMFG

[Yeetyaah]

Manawa don't want this win. Matatū all over them.

[Yeetyaah]

Best team won. Well done Matatū.

[Stargazer]

I think the ref got that wrong. She wasn't off her feet.

[Toddy]

Glad she missed. Reckon the ref got the final call wrong.

[Stargazer]

That's justice.

[Yeetyaah]

Among other calls but hey as I said, the better team won.

[KiwiMurph]

Great final. The better team won.

[Stargazer]

That was a great watch. Really glad that it was a close game. Matatū are the deserved winners!

I wonder whether the Chiefs Manawa team getting the favourites tag straight from the beginning has gotten too much into their heads? At the same time, Matatū were the underdogs from the start and maybe that brought out the fight in them? Their focus seemed much better and they didn't make that many silly mistakes.

That was a great watch with some impressive skills, ball usage, and space creation

[Bovidae]

Gutted for Willison. The Chiefs Manawa's game-drivers failed to turn up in the 2nd half.

If I was Bunting I would be getting Greg Smith on my coaching staff as the scrum coach.
