I haven't seen the game but there has been a bit of talk about Lam. I have read he beat a number of tackles, put in a decent kick and generally played well but there has been no mention of his passing. Did he get the opportunity to show whether he has a decent passing game?

It was a monsoon, but he has shown good passing when he's played centre in the past.

Pass of the night was Christie's cutout ball for Clarke's hattrick.

I'm not a huge fan but I thought Christie had a very good game, yes was an armchair ride but he organised the forward pack well, made good decisions, got turnovers on defence and set Clarke up with an excellent pass. It was a very well rounded game from him.

As a Chiefs fan I was hoping he'd be awful but he was a real strength that night.

Yeah, he's very calm and makes good decisions. Massive on defence, as you said. Kept the forwards organised well, and kicked very well. Not an easy game in those conditions.

..and his kicking from the base

I'm not his biggest fan (I wanted Funaki to start throughout the knockout stages) but he had a strong game when it mattered

Yeah - Christie's kicking and defence was very strong.

Ironically despite throwing the best pass of the night his passing was up and down (understandable given the conditions but I think it's fair to say he doesn't have a consistent pass in any conditions)

He nearly got caught behind the base a few times but he played his best in a final and that's all you can ask.

@Windows97 his biggest weakness is accuracy of passing - so many balls went up instead of across. I think that's fixed with coaching, but I am no 9 so have no idea.
