How does jacomb have a professional rugby contract?

the second 40 has been bloody awful to watch

Tim

Fuck me the Crusaders attack has been bad, even against 14. Extremely scrappy 30 mins of rugby.

jimmyb

This second 40 has been fairly dire from both teams

Bones

Way to get dropped from the ABs Damien

SouthernMann

Weird switch from 40 minutes of elite footy to a bit of a battle and a tough watch.

Mr Fish

Go for the pushover. Ultimate insult against the Crusaders.

Landers92

Is Codie Taylor playing in the loosies? Poor bugger has had a big season

Bones

Eh? Where's the yellow card? Doesn't matter what it's for

Tim

That's a lot of penalties. Should be a card.

Bones

The attack died with Jacomb again

antipodean

Roe is a midget balding Christie.

Tim

Was that a high shot on DMac?

Bones

Should still be a yellow, that was multiple again

KiwiMurph

Gibbes > McMillan

Tim

A few Chiefs forwards secured AB selections?

It Was lackluster since the second half kicked off and before he came on if we are being fair

jimmyb

@KiwiMurph McMillian had to play against a competent Crusaders team

Donsteppa

So we get to live through another final....

mariner4life

Nice win.

I look forward to losing our 4th straight final.

The Buffalo Chiefs

Tim

Fourth consecutive final. Hope Tupaea is available.

Lord has really staked a claim this year, as well as Sami. If Jacobson had been playing like today all season he'd be AB captain.

Tim

@mariner4life At least Kyle Brown will be back from concussion break?

Canes4life

Well played Chiefs. Exceptional first half.

Landers92

Jacobson said no jitters and by god did he mean it. Incredible from the chiefs really. Jacobson man of the match for me, absolute mad man. Dmac very impressive. Back 3 looked great as well. Hopefully nothing serious for Hutch

Donsteppa

"4th time lucky?" Hmmm...

Tim

Next week's final to decide the starting 10 for the ABs?

I really like the thought of Love's patient, methodical game for 50-60 with DMac lighting it up in the final 20-30

Bones

Chiefs with "Dmac 150" on the inside of their jersey?

Didn't this happen before? Three years ago when they looked on fire and focused against the canes in the semi only to turn up like lambs to the slaughter in the final against the Blues.

Who was coaching?

Belt to ass, so proud. Now to get over the hump pls

antipodean

@Tim hopefully it's already decided. I don't think DMac was particularly brilliant tonight.

The first half was largely other players making the most of opportunities and the bounce of the ball.

Second half where you'd expect game managers to assert themselves, it was a dog fight.

jimmyb

@Bones nothing a coach can do against the joint world rugby players of the year Akria and Hoskins

If he hadn’t locked in an AB jersey yet, he did with that performance. Exactly what we need in the ABs.

jimmyb

@Bones Reiko as in the Leinster winger?

mariner4life

@antipodean Dmac showed a passing and instinct game no one else in NZ has.

I would start him at 15.
