I don't know whether anyone has noticed, but the Sunwolves keep on adding players to their squad. There are currently 46 players on their squad page. It wouldn't surprise me if they'll have over 50 players by the end of the season again. Last year, the preparation of the RWC was their excuse. Not sure what it is now.

Seems harsh on Sowakula who has hardly got a look in this year so far.
Gatland has been very clear that he has targeted certain early games to get the whole squad some playing time. Sowakula has had good minutes to show up as an impact forward and has done well. He is certainly in the mix for the season
It probably won’t matter but there’s been a lot of missed tackles by the Chiefs. Currently tackling at 79%

They seem to need a while to bed in Gats system. This is a fresh centre combo under the new system. They will fix as the game goes on
Chiefs have mastered the art of fooling the refs into thinking they are supporting their own bodyweight at the ruck.
Anyone who happens to have a link to this game, please pm me.
My usual alternative has stopped working as Nord VPN no longer supports access to RP.

To be fair every team has been getting away with that so far this season. Refs seem to be lenient on it.
SANZAR have screwed the pooch regarding the Sunwolves. Packed stadium in the fastest growing country rugby wise and they are getting ditched
Tough yellow. I thought the Chiefs player (Ardron?) was actually dragged down by a Sunwolves player.

Went straight through the middle. Nothing wrong with what it did there!

Found a stream, yet, or do you still need a link?

I'm good now thanks! The fern always delivers.
On that note though, if anyone's VPN is still working for RP, please PM me. I'll have to make a decision about whether to quit or not now.
The Chiefs were originally supposed to wear their ocean garbage strip, according to RS during the week. They might be reacting to fan's disgust. If the Highlanders are using theirs solely as a clash strip, then perhaps the Chiefs have gone that way now too.
That five-eighth for the Sunwolves is a bit shit. Instead of making space for his outsides, he's busy crabbing stealing it away from them.

@shark Tell me again how red clashes with Black
It doesn't. What are you trying to say?

Express VPN is, I normally use Hong Kong, but that's now Geo Blocked. Set Singapore and all good.
I guess since sky brought it, they're actually trying to stop vpns
