Stargazer

Lord already replaced. Did they say what kind of injury?

@Stargazer he was involved in a heavy collision / tackle leading up to that try ..... is is replacement of HIA?

Chiefs lose 50m in territory because DMac kicks possession away within the Reds' 22.

Finau looks like a weapon on attack and defense.

Duluth

That was great from the Reds. Then Vest got involved

Pretty sure the reds lost that fwd way back,,,,

Didn't Finau kick it?

KiwiMurph

A real tactic to have Finau ranging wide

Dmac has made a bit of an average start so must be due to do something sublime

antipodean

WTF was that from DMac?

KiwiMurph

Reds defensive screen is working very well

real lack of structure from the Chiefs in phase play ... reds D is good.

Dmac making a real meal of it at the moment -- performances like this show how much trouble the ABs are in at the end of the year when it comes to 10

antipodean

Anyone making the case for DMac to be the AB #10 is either drunk, blind or taking the piss. He plays his best rugby from fullback.

KiwiMurph

Really poor from Ratima there

Have you seen the other 10s?

@Mattasaurus I wonder if our coaches give the likes of BB, RM and Dmac too much free reign to play thier 'natural' game rather than play to a bit more.structure, especially in different parts of the field.

In terms of amplitude from high to low in performance, none of them approach DMac.

@taniwharugby if that's the case, then their "natural" game instincts suck 🙂
