Tim

Nice work down the blindside. Decent ball from the prop at the end.

jimmyb

Lord has to start at lock for the ABs after this season. One of the few players who isn’t a moron. Probably the benefit of being in Hansens wider squads early on

KiwiMurph

Hutchison bloody hell way to make an impression

Bones

@jimmyb he's only doing this because I swapped him for Vaai just before the blues game. We won't have the same luxury come test time.

Hutchinson could end up being the fullback the ABs are after. He looks to be very good and has plenty of size about him.

How is he under the highball? I’d prefer a fullback that can catch

He was very good last week and has already looked good today. First impressions are strong.

Settle down lad, too early for that. He’s promising though.

Yeah agreed - very exciting

Tim

Brief panic when I heard the comms say: "Tupaea down in back-play."

Donsteppa

Early tackle masked that that was a very ponderous play from a good scrum position

KiwiMurph

Thompson has comically small legs

jimmyb

That chiefs hooker has done a few stupid things now

Yeetyaah

@jimmyb he spent a season at the Knights what do we expect

Was the one that got bamboozled for the reds try?

A bloody good boot too!

Donsteppa

Sensational defensive take.

Yeetyaah

Pure effort from Kyren love to see it

jimmyb

Is McKenzie physically capable of actually putting a shoulder on and not taking the easy option of biting on on a player that’s not already marked?

Yeetyaah

Hands on the ground then one hand on the ball great call

KiwiMurph

Reds physicality is impressive

They look a different team to a few years ago

Canes4life

Enjoying this one. Reds have come to play tonight. Chiefs need to be more accurate.

Bones

That was ludicrous from Hutchison

Donsteppa

Wish they'd kept ball in hand there

Yeetyaah

@Bones said in Reds v Chiefs:

I've seen enough give him a 10 year deal

Donsteppa

Slow motion try...

Great work up the guts earlier

KiwiMurph

Does Roe understand the concept that fast ball is good?

Yeetyaah

Jesus Christ the Reds are cynical fluffybunnies

Donsteppa

Ahh... that'll be why the slow motion...

Might need to sign with the dockers if he keeps scooping balls like this

Why does Ratima not start for the Chiefs?
