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.

Full time match report:

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.

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

Just because the Chiefs played a couple of shit games?

No. What happens when teams rest ABs?

@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

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?

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

@Bones

Maori Jesus, for starters.

And, Messam.

So two of the older, wiser, and classier heads in the team.

Edit:

But, actually, your point stands, because those of us who looked at the recruiting were pissed off because the team this year looked worse than last year.

So after 5 weeks of Super rugby last season

Landers 3-0
Saders 2-2
Blues 1-3
Chiefs 2-1
Canes 2-1

I have no word to describe shitter than shit

One of the worst results by a NZ Super team I can remember. No wonder Guzzler has spent most of the off season looking for a new team.

@sparky Fuck me looking at the canes locks we could really really use him haha

Missed the game , what was the result?

@jegga said in Chiefs vs Sunwolves:

NZ rugby is dead.

Oh and sunwolves doubled the Chiefs score.

The sky has already fallen! WTF Chiefs. This was worse than last week. So many errors. MacDonald has already got the Blues off the bottom of the table without having to do anything.

@broughie said in Chiefs vs Sunwolves:

The Canes won by 30 yesterday ffs.

@broughie

Disagree, the Canes were excellent against Brumbies. The Blues and the Highlanders have been steady. It is just the Chiefs who have been dire.

Far too many NPC level players in that Chiefs line up. The Sunwolves' NPC level Kiwis looked a cut above on paper and so it proved.

Someone listed the players the Chiefs are missing and I thought, "Is that it?!" You're in for a tough season Chiefs fans. Rennie was the master at getting the most out of guys who weren't quite at Super Rugby level and simply making do, but Cooper isn't gonna make that happen.

Didnt watch the game but listened to the radio commentary by Yealden.

He used the word bumbling a few times...

If I was Cooper I'd have held BBBR off until the 2nd half, that way hed of watched all the shit and gone out a fired everyone up, instead he just got caught up, had to go off at halftime and...

Is amusing reading back through these game threads though...

I don't care if the Chiefs were the Japanese schoolgirl to the Sunwolves octopus the Hurricanes bandwagon door is firmly locked.

@jegga hard out! Look what Nepia and Crucial have turned the Chiefs into. I'm not sure any fan base would want to be burdened with that.

You gotta feel for the true fans though. Must be hard to watch. I fully expect the Chiefs to get up for the derbies though.

I said last week that we are the Blues of 2017-2018. That is a massive insult to the Blues. We are much worse.

Gotta Go Cooper!!

Yeah, having those two join the fold must be painful.

Calling Warren Gatland?

Hayden Parker would be handy in NZ right now. Wonder if he can come back next year?
