Chiefs v Brumbies

Glad that was only a yellow, was about to throw my toys out of the cot and go join @mariner4life watching the bogan rugby in Vegas.

Poor technique

@taniwharugby @KiwiMurph
Are you both trying to make me throw my toys. Anyway, I'm a dolt, I 100% forgot that they check it on the sideline now.It has been upgraded.
I thought bending of the knees etc was supposed to be taken into account? I don't understand interpretations anymore.

Good game, Chiefs lost a little structure in 2nd 40mins.. but job was done. Good start to the season.
-
Some of the best Rugby I have seen in ages. Chiefs masterclass early. The team remind me of Ireland in that every player seemed to know exactly what was going on. Such a contrast to the Saders last night.
Roe and Ratima are fire at the back and McKenzie showing why he needs to be the ABs 10.
Also important is the Chiefs stability in coaches and several key positions.

Chiefs have won more quarter finals

Also talent wise. There were players on that Chiefs bench that would start for the Crusaders.
What this game also showed is just how important 9/10 are to a team. Without those game drivers teams struggle.

The Chiefs are so good to watch. Protect DMac at all costs! How good was Jacobson? That man has concrete in his shoulders. As an opposition player, you'd think twice about hitting it up with Finau and Jacobson in front of you.
Anyway, the Chiefs looking like a well-oiled machine again. Would feel better if McMillian was in the AB coaching setup. His tactical battles with Razor have been games within games in the last few years. -
Hopefully tupaea, narawa and Lord will be back next week, Liam coombes fabling tries hard but he just lacks the size poihipi was very solid and nanai seturo is growing into a very good superrugby player if he continues with this form I hope the all black selectors will be watching

Kudos to whoever was calling the moves in the backs. The way they were hitting guys coming in at speed, and then breaking tackles, was superb. They seemed to use an extra second or two in identifying targets in the defensive line and gee did it work.
Chiefs props did so much good work too and Jacobson and Finau dominated the contacts. And the backs were on fire. Great to see that level of confidence in attack. -
@ARHS That move were they had CF come in off his wing as second receiver to then pass wide was class, creates that extra player in the backline. Chiefs are just very well drilled, almost as if every play is part of a larger set play, every player knowing their role and executing it, AKA Ireland. They will be very hard to beat this year if no major injuries to key players.

Just watched - that was a comprehensive flogging in all aspects of the game. Well done to the Chiefs.
3, 2, 1 goes to Finau, MSR and ENS
