Good. Put Leger in the forwards.

@Bones Mostly just flopping over on the ball

Yeah, plus crazy flying in the side for no reason, holding the ball in the ruck on the ground...

Did we stop doing the basics at training? Our ball retention is dire. I know NH rugby is boring but at least they know how to look after the ball.

As a coach - where do you start after this hit show? Perhaps with...Hello my name is...

@Bones

Why the fuck is he still on? There is better sitting on the bench FFS.

This is a rugby ball, you need to protect it with your life. If you hold onto it you can score points. Scoring points helps you win the game.

The Chiefs breakdown work has been really weird (and disgusting) all night. They're all just ignoring the tackled player and watching or running off? It's one of the weirdest things I've seen. No one going into protect the ball at all.

I can't put in to words how much it has pissed me off

Me too! The tactic itself is unexplainable. We don't expect your resulting anger to be any different.

Congrats to the Wolves, they have looked good this season. They may cause a few upsets this year.

I know Michael Little in a roundabout way, and he's been excellent. We've all enjoyed cheering him on tonight and I think he's been the best on park. Well done SWs!

Why do the commentators keep saying Chiefs are quality and were competition favourites.

I straight up hate you hopeless bastards.

ALB and BBBR to play only as hard as to keep themselves match fit. Don't kill yourselves trying to carry this collection of mediocrity.

Well done Sunwolves played really well, enjoy your night in Hamilton

Created history, how lovely of the Chiefs to make that happen

Not only the Chiefs but NZ rugby, except the Crusaders, has been horrible to watch.

Congratulations to the Sunwolves..can recall a couple or so seasons back when the chiefs scored a late try to beat the sunwolves at home which saved some very embarrassed looks.
Well and truly comprehensive from the visitors on the scoreboard ..

So very,very poor. Embarrasing for a kiwi team. Making history is one thing, doing it in such a shithouse manner is another.

Come home Brodie, all is forgiven.

Just because the Chiefs played a couple of shit games?

@Stargazer Agree but they were horrible against the Crusaders. But we were dominating last year except for the Blues and this year not even close.

@Bones no.
Because each team other than the crusaders has already looked limited at one time or another. Squad personnel cannot be ignored and is an irritating niggle when the one of the lesser 4 in the NZ conference have played

But I agree, 3 rounds means little. Bit different from previous years though

Bones

Jesus it's 3 rounds in people. The Chiefs have looked cake the last couple of games, the sky isn't falling.

Crusaders looking nigh on unstoppable.

Hurricanes looking very good.

Highlanders rebuilding nicely.

Blues looking better.

Just who have the Chiefs lost in the off-season that would have changed things?
