Best win of the season though was beating Blues at home coming off a tough 2 game tour of SA + ARG whilst Blues were fresh off a bye

ah righto....any statement that includes 'best win over blues' ...

amusing how you are dismissve of Kiwis opinions and find rubbish statements ot back up yours.

Dont get me wrong, the Jaguares have played well, and deserve to be clear favorites in this match, but to be as dismissive of the Chiefs as you have, and then to question how much rugby I watch?

Based on your pumping, the Jaguares should win by about 20 points, although I suspect some of what are posting is just trolling.

@Hooroo

The ignorance is embarrassing to see

You'd think Jaguares were playing 2012 Chiefs ffs

Can we have some Kiwis on here who've actually watched more than 1 or 2 fucking Jaguares games this season

7 wins and a negative Points difference hardly screams Champion Side :grinning_face: :grinning_face:

Only 17 pts behind Hurricanes & 22 points behind Crusaders

Don't get me wrong, we're not a champion side. Thing is, neither are the Jaguares.

Going to be a real humiliator for you when we win.

It's not ignorance either, it's arrogance

@Jaguares4real I have watched all Jaguares games, all Chiefs games, and almost all other games.

The Jaguares have improved since the beginning of the season. The Chiefs have improved a lot since the beginning of the season.

I see the Jaguares as clear favourites for this game, but I agree with others that you too easily dismiss the Chiefs' chances.

I actually find the Jaguares more dangerous in the backs than in the forwards.

Sorry, I don't have more time to post a longer contribution, but I think you're underestimating the Chiefs.

@taniwharugby said in QF 3: Jaguares v Chiefs:

our pumping, the Jaguares should win by about 20 po

I said it was their BEST win

This was said in the context of a tough 2 game tour where they had to make over 200 tackles and hold off a Stormers team formidable at home

Then backed it up against the Jaguares who were starting to hit their straps

That game was a real street fight Brumbies impressed in defeat

They THEN flew black home to play an team who hadn't played the previous week and won convincingly

CONTEXT matters

BTW Brumbies best PERFORMANCE was hammering the Chiefs but I don't want to remind Chiefs fans of that....................

I think some forfeits need to be done by the losing supporters, now this is getting tasty banter.

@Stargazer

Boffelli being fit is a massive boost for Jaguares

Guy is a major strike weapon and is dominant in contestable kicks

mariner4life

pffft, that team doesn't even have one New Zealander in it, they have no chance

I need to get back on message then

The irony is that Jaguares this year have largely resembled a Kiwi SR team in that they kick alot and very well

Deadly in transitions from turnovers and unstructured play

Willingness to attack breakdowns and concede penalties

Good ball skills to boot

@Jaguares4real great banter fella,keep it up.

I think this is the game fo the round - really looking forward to it. I reckon the Jags may have a good crack at this, I'd have them as favourites. Chiefs in their current mood and confidence though, with Brodie and Sam ... well I would struggle to bet against them.

Jags have done well this season, and stoked to see them do it. Question is whether they'll put it out there when it really matters, at home ... pressure and favouritism does funny things to sides

Nepia

@SammyC Never in my wildest dreams to I believe the Magpies are going to win every game they play and the opposition are bumbling idiots (unless we’re playing the Poo then that is 100% true).

Higgins

@Nepia We never give up hope of it happening though!

Bones

It's cute the Jags made the finals, so will be sad to see them go. But, the Chiefs are so good they even have retired players making it to the quarters.

Baron Silas Greenback

A factor seemingly being overlooked

Playoff experience. It matters.

Chiefs rely on 4-5 star players Limit them

Yes, good game plan but easier said than done.

Pre-game from the coach: "And if you don't let that big hua get the ball, we should strangle them into errors at their end of the park".
Half time chat: "I told you not to let him get the ball".
Post game in the shed: "As a team we were better, pity they've got him".

@Jaguares4real you’re gonna look like a fucken retard if your team loses

nah he's not. i'm good with it. It beats "banana skin game" and fake attempts at underdog status that normally flies around here. Fuck it, his team is playing well, they are at home, and he has every right to be confident.

@mariner4life

Indeed

When you've won your last 5 home games

Won your Conference by 10 points and 11 wins overall

9 wins out of last 10 games

I mean why wouldn't Jaguares be confident.....

I'm not one for hyping up Kiwi SR sides

You front up psychically and hit them in the mouth in defence they bleed

Kick well and you're well on the way to winning

But I understand, Jaguares are going to have have beat a few Kiwi sides in playoff games to have some respect put on their name

mariner4life

oh no totally, it's actually pretty easy to beat the NZ sides. Which is why NZ teams have made up a measly 50% of the playoff sides in the last 5 years. And Have made up an even more embarrassingly small 69% of semi finalists. Even worse, they've only been 63% of finalists in that time. And, most telling of all, they have only won 100% of those finals.

Just smack them in the mouth. No worries.

I wonder if blues fans are tempted to jump on the Chiefs bandwagon ? Shouldn't be too difficult ,it is the sort of vehicle you tend to see around Auckland anyway.

Just hope this game lives up to the hype and isnt ruined by the officials and some controversial card of yellow or red.

You both tried to jump on the canes one last year, we had to hire extra security when we heard ferals from Manurewa and Flaxmere were scoping it out.

It's a hybrid. It's worth a steal definitely.

Maybe all the locals couldn't see it cos their hoodies were covering their eyes ?

I love the story but it is fake news.

You have Crusaders Jaguares Hurricanes and Brumbies on a level way above everyone else

🤔

For all the Kiwis who don't watch Super Rugby out of NZ sides 😵 😵

Brumbies won 10 games including their last 6 in a row

7 game winning streak at home Won their conference by 14 points

Beat Stormers in CT

Gave Jaguares a good game in BA when Jaguares were starting to fire

Battered Bulls + Lions at home

Battered Chiefs at home

Best win of the season though was beating Blues at home coming off a tough 2 game tour of SA + ARG whilst Blues were fresh off a bye

Need I go on...........

I'm here all week for any other parochial Kiwis 👀 👀

The more I think about this game, the more I think we will win. Your team is no where near as good as you think it is. We finally have a near full strength team and will beat you by at least a converted try.

You still had a good season and nothing to be ashamed of, for sure.

You are falling into a trap...
