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

Do all blonde white people look the same to you? Racist
Sexist as well. But perhaps you mean blond.
I do not.

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.
Narawa? Sparky for me the chiefs best outside was Taumoefolau
Impressed by the forward pack of the Chiefs. Demolished the Tahs scrum. Lord had a very good game, as did Boshier whose physicality was a key reason the Chiefs were winning collisions. Speaking of collisions, Finau had an excellent game.
I think Jacomb is bang average and the Chiefs halfbacks are even worse. Roe is a Temu Christie - he's fucking appalling.
Add to that Coombes-Fabling.

Clean out at the second to last ruck was at a crazy angle
It's Doleman. Philip was taking out Chiefs players way in front of the ruck all game.

Wow the Waratahs are garbage, bring back the Rebels
Wouldn't get a team losing like this in NH club rugby. Embarrassing

He's English too.

Jacomb is about as average as BB, take that how you like.
Playing really well, is Jacomb, if you disregard all the amateur/dumb shit he did, he took the ball to the line once and was very indirectly responsible for a try 15 phases after he passed it in another movement.
I've been saying all along that Finau should be starting ahead of Parker. He carries the ball with much more conviction, is quicker and can make dominant tackles. While Gibbes said that he has been rotating his loose forwards, Finau hasn't played a lot of minutes.
The scrum was a real weapon.
On Jacomb, his kicking is still his biggest weakness. No length in kicks for touch, has a habit of missing touch from penalties, and goal kicking is erratic.

@Grooter Excellent pace for his second try. He'll be a key man for Tonga.
Tonga? Taumoefolau is trying to make the ABs (eligible later this year) - the whole reason he moved to the Chiefs

not to mention the bright lights of Hamilton!
@KiwiMurph Good pace for that 2nd try, but I'd need to see more of him to judge if he's All Black standard.

Did you not watch MP last year?
@Bovidae just seen a replay of that clean out leading up to the Chiefs try
It’s a shocker Chiefs player almost ended up square to the ruck I have no doubt there’s clean outs that get missed during a game but in a try scoring movement where the TMO would have seen that in the same time we all saw he chose to do nothing
Not having a crack at the Chiefs but the inconsistency we see during the try scoring process when it comes to illegal play
