@Tim

Not through the gate, cleaned out the Tahs player from side on. Right in front of the ref

The attacking team hardly ever gets penalised for that in SR

Bones

Finau mistakes 18 for 10.

African Monkey

Finau's had a big game.

Bones

Was that Jacomb? Fucking retire from rugby after that embarrassment of a kick.

Yeetyaah

Wow the Waratahs are garbage, bring back the Rebels

Victor Meldrew

Kick Of The Week from the 'Tahs

Wouldn't get a team losing like this in NH club rugby. Embarrassing

Landers92

You reckon Finau has heard Mr Frizell is returning or what? One of his better games I’ve seen him play for quite awhile

@Yeetyaah not a good look for this comp
5.5 decent teams and the rest are pretty average

Yet the Tahs 20 is ringer for Henry Pollock

Yeah it’s so strange. They can turn up against the Brumbies in Aus but as soon as they are on the road they turn to shit. The reds are the same.

Lol those calls are only to be used for when Moana Pasifika are losing.

5 teams in this comp. Tahs, Reds and Landers will be fighting for that 6th spot.

Tim

The comp has a credibility problem when Aussie teams can't compete in NZ.

Same with the Drua.

@Tim hard to even get a true gauge on the performances of individuals if the opposition is this poor at travelling away from home

You didn't think the tahs were a chance with all the chiefs injuries?

Bones

That was atrocious goal line d.

It isn’t even the colder months yet either which is when the Aus sides struggle even more. It seems the Aussie teams focus on the Aussie derbies and almost throw the NZ ones away other than the Brumbies.

Crowd of 11,400

Bones

Worst dive ever KT

Bones

Is it just me or has Jacomb seemingly gone back in every area since he first hit the scene? Apart from hitting the gym it seems.

Stephen Donald takes biased commentary to a new level can only imagine how annoying Kirsty Stanaway is gonna be

Victor Meldrew

Leroy Carter has looked solid at 13 in his last 2-3 games.

Just thinking same thing Vic, looks interesting to where that could go.

The Chiefs best performance and result of the season so far. Lots to like from Sami T, Josh Lord, Bolshier, Finau and Narawa.

Quinn Tupaea was the pick of the bunch though. The best midfielder in New Zealand.

@sparky Quinn has to be a lock in at 12 also the added bonus of being so damn good over the ball
Regardless of how poor the Tahs were this evening there was a touch of class about everything he did.

Looks great in the NPC. Always been underwhelmed by him above that level

Do all blonde white people look the same to you? Racist

Sexist as well. But perhaps you mean blond.

Yeah always wondered if I was missing something with the bloke. Like, he's Super Rugby standard, but I haven't been wowed by him so far.

Got overhyped coming through was the issue.

The midfield and Finau at 6 was the best part.

About time Carter is playing 13 regularly - with his weakness under the high ball and promise shown at 13 for BOP it's about time he's had a proper crack there.

Dan54

How bloody good was Ollie Norris tonight, his work rate was incredible!

A winger, a centre, and a lower level halfback, that's some versatility.

Dan54

Aren't Beaver and Cruden good on the panel ?

@Dan54 Cruden is excellent,Beaver can’t see past his own bias and started sounding like a fan boy
There’s a bit of Joel Stransky about the way Cruden calls games ,doesn’t say a lot but is right on the money when he does have something to say

Narawa? Sparky for me the chiefs best outside was Taumoefolau
