Reasonably competitive so far, 12-7 chiefs at 20 mins

Duluth

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.

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.

Crucial

SANZAR have screwed the pooch regarding the Sunwolves. Packed stadium in the fastest growing country rugby wise and they are getting ditched

Tim

Any scrums so far?

Crazy Horse

@Crucial and good on the Chiefs for exploiting it well.

Yeetyaah

@Crucial but then they don't develop their own players and become a super rugby barbarians team. I agree that the crowd and atmosphere is good but they need Japanese players and because they have the top league, there's really no point.

@Yeetyaah exactly. And Japanese RU should be paying not us.

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!

I'm good now thanks! The fern always delivers.

Man that's how a coach should dress!

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.

@gt12 I'll try my express vpn after the match

Boshier has got some speed

Still need to sort out the midfield defence though

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.

@shark Tell me again how red clashes with Black

Yeetyaah

@shark good. As it should be. Take note of the only undefeated kiwi team.

antipodean

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.

Jailbreak7

That fukkin TH for SW is bloody lucky to be on the field. Another farkin swinging arm

Jailbreak7

@shark Xactly!Even if they wore white and red it still wouldn't clash

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

Boshier is awesome. DMac now trying to be too cute, Lachlan should smack him one for wasting that

Jailbreak7

Boshier again the steal! Only headless chicken stuff and then Thomson fucks it up

Yeetyaah

Lachlan Boshier All Blacks bolter.

Jailbreak7

Good tackle from Weber, DMac had to turn to get back in a hurry, will test out that knee for sure

Yeetyaah

Missed the first half driving home from work. Forgot to ask if Nel and Thomson go any good?

Yeetyaah

Fuck I'm really not digging Leger.
