Terrible at Maul defense.

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

The Chiefs better run them around and tire them out!

@tim

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

Pollard with a cracking kick. 7-14.

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

Bulls back on attack.

Chiefs making the Bulls look like champions!

ALB passed his HIA; back on the field.

Card time?

Another penalty....

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

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

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.

@gt12 Clearly they caught something in Auckland.

That penalty is a fucking joke btw.

Harsh penalty on Cane with the Bulls diving into tackles.

@antipodean

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

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

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

Chiefs = Rubbish

@stargazer

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

God. Bulls in again.

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

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.

Nice catch Falcon

Brave by him there though.

Edit: just a high shot.

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

Chiefs look lost.

Messam going off.

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

@shadowtrooper said in Chiefs vs Bulls:

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

Chiefs are lucky to not have a card yet

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

Woeful.

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

These chip kicks aren’t helping either

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

Why the fuck do we have Fa’auli there?

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

Webber too slow

Nice defensive bomb Weber...

Great half back kick. Well done clown.

@gunner

That’s an old Andy Ellis kick. Grrr

Fuck me. Dmac with a good clearance. They’ll lose possession but at least get some territory.

Weber should be beaten for that kick.

Messam back on the field.

@gt12 he had time for a cuppa and to get well set too, no excuses

Much better last 5 minutes from the Chiefs.
