Terrible by the Chiefs. Kick it away and give away a penalty - second time they were late. Yikes.

gt12

Fa’auli in after a bit of good work and some luck.

Stargazer

Sloppy defence by both teams. Fa'auli making up for his mistake that lead to the Bulls' try by scoring one at the other side of the field. Good grubber from Falcon. 7 all

gt12

Christ, now ALB is off with a headknock

Stargazer

@gt12 ABs are dropping like flies. 😞

gt12

Bulls really having a go, but the Chiefs keep on infringing. Another penalty.

gt12

Terrible at Maul defense.

gt12

Looks like the Bulls are in again. Good effort by the Bulls winger, pretty weak by DMac.

Tim

The Chiefs better run them around and tire them out!

gt12

@tim

They’re running plenty, not much defense out there.

Pollard with a cracking kick. 7-14.

gt12

My god. Another penalty. That looked ok to me on first watch.

Bulls back on attack.

taniwharugby

Chiefs making the Bulls look like champions!

Stargazer

ALB passed his HIA; back on the field.

gt12

Card time?

Another penalty....

antipodean

Time for some captaincy: Stop being morons and giving away penalties.

Stargazer

Fa'auli is a liability. He's terrible on defence.

gt12

Chiefs look like a rabble. We’ve been predicting a bad year, but I thought they might be able to deal with the Bulls.

Another ducking penalty.

Tim

@gt12 Clearly they caught something in Auckland.

gt12

That penalty is a fucking joke btw.

antipodean

Harsh penalty on Cane with the Bulls diving into tackles.

gt12

@antipodean

With the Hollywood too. Making SA proud, you fucking pussy

gt12

Falcon is not ready. Does he have a left foot?

Stargazer

@gt12 Thanks to him, the Chiefs have scored a try. He's doing fine.

Gunner

Chiefs = Rubbish

gt12

@stargazer

I’m, thanks to a Bulls player dropping it, you mean?

God. Bulls in again.

Stargazer

That last Bulls' try is again on Fa'auli, and Dmac, who both missed the tackle.

antipodean

With this sort of refereeing, it's pointless competing at ricks - the ref is letting people clear out from the side and go off their feet. Chiefs should line up in defence and try tackling.

gt12

Nice catch Falcon

gt12

Brave by him there though.

Edit: just a high shot.

ShadowTrooper

Thought rugby was supposed to be a contest for the ball? This ref iis not allowing the Chiefs to even compete

gt12

Chiefs look lost.

Messam going off.

Stargazer

Whatever Dmac is trying, it's not working tonight (yet).

@shadowtrooper said in Chiefs vs Bulls:

Chiefs are lucky to not have a card yet

Gunner

Chiefs absolutely getting beaten up, static ball, no ideas except hopeless chop kicks.

Woeful.

Tim

That looked like a forearm strike at Messam's head?

gt12

These chip kicks aren’t helping either

ShadowTrooper

BBBR buried in the tight 0 but where is Cane's leadership?

gt12

Why the fuck do we have Fa’auli there?

He’s a liability. Put ALB there and anyone at 13. That’d be better

ShadowTrooper

Webber too slow

Gunner

Nice defensive bomb Weber...
