Chiefs v Blues

Unco

Classy kick from McKenzie into the corner.

No Quarter

Blues their own worst enemy in the final 25 minutes of this match.

All from yet another shite pass

Unco

TKB! Sacks Guyton at the ruck, who fucks up his pass and the Blues run it dead in their own goal.

Someone was giving out about Hall's passing....
 
 
Guyton has been woeful, multiple passes at the head of West.

Looked illegal... but not sure how...

Parsons weakness is he is the slowest hooker in NZ. Good at line out time though.

It looked weird but I'm not sure it was illegal.
 
BBBR in!

BBBR seals the deal

Blues will probably go home with nothing, despite playing pretty well. Multiple brainfarts in their 22 though has cost them.

Hooroo

Commentators hit nail on head. Nut brown had a good matxh

Hold on, will both teams get the BP?

The blues have to be the worst coached team in the competition. Their attack is so laboured and slow when they have to construct anything. Contrast it to the individual brilliance we see when they get turnover ball and you can see what they could be.

Fuck, they did. 
Didn't realize that was possible. 
5 points. Fuck yeah. 
My tipping was miles off though.

With some good recruiting, and a better attack coach (beat it, Feeney), 2017 could be our year*.

Well as much as I bagged the Chiefs with their over confidence in the back hand pass - at least whenever they make a break or half break they're looking to link up and continue the movement.
 
I think the Blues main problem tonight was the opposite (other than the static phase play). How many breaks did they make, only for it to be shutdown due to the one guy just running off and taking a tackle, ignoring any of his support and not even making it easy for his support to get in a good position to continue or defend a breakdown?

Thought he was shit at the ruck in the first half but was improved in the second.
 
Chiefs win 29-23, both teams come away with a bonus point.
 
Really need to get Cruden kicking after the bye, at least at home.

Hooroo

Five points of pure pleasure. Up THE CHIEFS!!!

Not just coaching. The Blues players are all power and speed. Contrast that with Chiefs players who transfer the ball to space, do things quickly, good skills and high work rates. Real contrast in styles and We know which one is better...

I know it's fun to have a go at the Blues at every opportunity but great effort all the same to them. We were always gonna struggle in the last 25 with Kaino off leaving next to no leadership out there and a backline full of kids but they gave it their all. People were expecting the Chiefs to win by plenty but were really made to work for that but well done to them.
