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

Bones

Fucking hell Weber. What the flying fuck was that? Hold the ball dickhead.

mariner4life

@Bones

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.

ShadowTrooper

Even Ken Laban is getting pissed

ShadowTrooper

Can't believe Ta'avao was an AB last year

mariner4life

So bad at the breakdown. So so bad.

mariner4life

Fuck off Weber you suck

antipodean

"Dan Pryor on his feet", footage shows him holding himself off the ground.

ShadowTrooper

Fuck knows why they shake hands, they should be hanging their heads in shame

Bones

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.

antipodean

How shit is DMac running sideways again?

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.

antipodean

Congrats Sunwolves.

Bones

The game is over and Stevenson looks interested.

mofitzy_

Cooper out.

Get on the blower to Gats for 2020 ASAP.

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

Siam

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

broughie

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 ..

Canerbry

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.

@broughie 2019, the year we realised our talent was actually leaving in concerning numbers...

The Canes looked pretty good last night.

Just because the Chiefs played a couple of shit games?

broughie

@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.

Siam

@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?

Bones

Fucken Chiefs! They just showed a replay of the lions tour game. Didn't click that it was the Chiefs that set them off before the second test...

Looking at that chiefs side only 1/2 dozen players are NZ side starting 15 quality. They really look by far the weakest Team/ squad NZ has produced for a long time. The fa t Nankivel was best player says it all.

Because it makes it even funnier
