@Canes4life said in QF 3: Jaguares v Chiefs:
How can you be that shit in the lineout when you have Brodie as a target.
Edit: And now I can't work the pics! Can this morning get any worse?
Yes it can, the Brazilian BBQ breakfast is only open on Sunday.
And a penalty.
Fuck this, I’m going to throw something.
Jags plenty of heart, good on them.

Not tall enough?
Chiefs clearly had a discussion before the game to decide how many ways they could lose a winnable match.
Well, a healthy Debreczeni and it looks like team.
Plug in MMac and take off Weber and we turn to shit.
It shouldn’t be that simple, but it pretty much was.
Edit: plus the line out, of course!
Can someone tell me why TTT was selected as third All Black halfback? What has he done? And if he’s so good, why has Cooper stuck with Webber all season?
where's @Jaguares4real -- a good win for his boys. Chiefs lost with lineout throwing and when Debs went off

The same reason Cooper has MMac?

Theyll score a length of field try now.
Or not...
Only been watching the last 25 but the Jags were more composed, worked hard on d and deserving of the win.
Chiefs had chance after chance to score a match winner but looked panicked and couldn’t get the basics right.
@MrDenmore I think it was because it took Weber some time to get back to full form/fitness after that long time away from the game due to that horrible injury. Last year, Weber just wasn't that good. Not sure why they picked TTT, because he didn't really shine last year either. I think they hoped they found a big talent that they could develop into an AB quality halfback, but that has been disappointing.
@Stargazer Well if they don’t pick Weber now, you have to wonder.
@MrDenmore Yeah he was the shining light, has had a superb season.
@Canes4life said in QF 3: Jaguares v Chiefs:
Well played Jags. Well deserved.
Yup, chiefs had it in the middle period, but lack of composure and silly penalties forced by just defence meant jags deserved winners.
Oh and having tits for hands didn't help
@Machpants yeah Chiefs handling was shocking, big work on in the off season.
Great game Chiefs handling errors probably cost you the game .They put the Jags under pressure at times.
Jaguares definitely deserved their win; their defence was great. However, you can't really say they outplayed the Chiefs when basically the Chiefs outplayed themselves by making so many errors.
And now, we'll have to wait who'll get to travel to Buenos Aires. Sharks or Brumbies. You'd have to say, the Jags have a good chance to reach the final, regardless of who they meet in the semis.
Congrats to the Jags, they played better for longer. Chiefs made way too many mistakes, and did lose their way with MMac on (fark he is shite.)
On a side note, why why why did we have to have Jackson as ref.
Classy comments from Cane.
He is dead right too.
For the Chiefs errors you also have to look at the way the Jags defend. They put a lot of pressure on with big hits, line speed and attacking the breakdown. It's not a coincidence.
Good stuff from the argies, Chiefs fans can take comfort in the knowledge that Phil Kearns is seething over the Jags even being in the comp so making the finals is going to make being anywhere near his driveway an even dodgier proposition than usual.
Respect to the Haguaries, that was impressive. But the Chiefs had that. How shit was the lineout.
My initial thoughts..
Congratulations to the Jaguaries..great for their fans and probably the comp
On the Chiefs..they will look back on this game as a missed opportunity, some of their best players decided to leave their hands at home, it was a little like watching the Blues in the 2nd half with all the handling errors..
To me that game was there for the taking ,but with a shoddy lineout means you hand the opposition more ball which then brings indiscipline..
Best of the Chiefs I thought were ALB,Alaimalo and Debreczini while he was on, says something when your best 3 are backs..
Thought the set piece scrum was superb but as mention the hookers could not hit the side of a barn from 5 metres today..
Even as a Blues supporter I do have respect for the Chiefs as despite all the injuries, they have kept themselves in the fight towards the finals..plenty of ticker in this team despite this mornings result..
Just a shame the early experiment of playing DMac at first five backfired ,I have since heard there was some All Black coaches influence in that selection which if I were a chiefs supporter that would piss me off no end.
Also a real shame Jack Debreczini was out for most of the season because we have seen what he bought to the 10 jersey once given an opportunity..
Gee if the Chiefs don’t re sign him , I personally would have him ahead of Otere Black every day of the week and twice on a Sunday ..
Hold you head up chiefs supporters..under the circumstances not a bad season.
