      @arhs yes, the way he gave up was frustrating. I agree the defensive accuracy of the entire team was miles off, when your All Balcks are missing routine one on one tackles that indicates a broader issue.

      Agree. Nock has huge upside I reckon but will need time.

      is looking like his time is now, was starting to look good last Super season, until he was dropped, presumably for a off-field incident (breach of team rules form what I heard) but was superb for Northland.

      Am thinking Christie will get first chances though, but we know how attritional things are, so he will get his shot.

      One point from my perspective.

      Mounga and Jordan the most dangerous players on the park, looking like top level players.

      While our starting all black wingers just look average.

      And for all our talk of midfield depth, the guys most likely to start the first test aren't showing much.

      Okay 2 points.

      I would actually consider Jordan to play right wing

      Agree, a back three of Rieko, Jordie and Jordan is looking our best bet at this stage (IMO)

      Be interesting to see if his mentioned defence deficiencies can be ironed out in the ABs.

      C

      Pierce was very good for his comeback within the 23. He is a better lock the Goodhue IMO but PT and GCT are on fire for the moment so it will be hard for him to find a place in the starting 8.

      @Stargazer should be given a reward

      The mere idea he should be penalised for two players running into the same space is ridiculous. As is the "late tackle" explanation. There's no tackle, just a halfback getting in the way of a flanker.

      Ah Kuoi was the best lock on the paddock. His workrate is impressive and he is quite dynamic in the loose. Not a bad LO jumper either.

      Disagree, Sam Whitelock and Mitch Brown both made twice the number of tackles as him and hit more rucks. Not a vintage performance from Sam Whitelock, but he was still the best lock on the paddock in that game.

      He was the only lock. The rest were trainees

      That would be the ideal scenario,

      very good chance the Crusaders could end up more than a game clear by the time we get there though, by beating them first time around at home , and accumulating more bonus points

      Colour me irritated/disappointed bloody annoyed.
      Not with the loss so much (then again, maybe) but more the manner in which we lost.
      Chiefs have prided themseleves on their D for the 1st 3 games. The D against the Ponies was weak as water non-existent at times

      Agreed. People are talking about how good the Brumbies were - not hard to look good when you're consistently going forward and making breaks from poor defence.

      A straight line instead of shooters leaving gaping holes and making first up tackles would've resulted in the Brumbies kicking more often, giving some possession to the Chiefs.

      As you want to be wilfully obtuse/dense I'll break it down for you

      Fact that ARG are 10th in rankings is:

      A. Meaningless

      B. Linked to their lack of intensity for Test matches they consider friendlies

      There's been ALOT of changes to ARG in last 18 months

      Ledesma going from Jaguares HC to Pumas HC in 2018

      As well as Quesada now being the Jaguares HC in 2019

      Times are changing

      Pumas have woken up from their lethargy & incompetence at all levels of the game

      Says who ?

      I have a feeling the ABs would be mighty pissed off if they lost the number one ranking.

      Scotlands two victories both came in the last 18 months.

      ABs are a different animal They've been #1 for most of the Professional Era

      Pumas have no interest TBH in rankings You can play mickey mouse teams & pick up points

      **SCO victories whilst nice are ultimately meaningless long term

      RWC is the objective & as I've stated already Pumas were still getting their shit together**

      OK, well in that case hopefully all international matches between World Cups are called off. What's the point in them ?

      Pub quiz in Glasgow.. "And the final question to win the £200 is:
      Take Thats first album consisted of four words, the first two words were "Take That" so what was the second two words. . .?

      There was a long pause then a wee Glasgow man pipes up...

      Was it "Ya C@nt"...?! 😂😂

      Think we’d have a better shot against the Jaguares, but the direct flight to Christchurch is understandably more appealing!

      @shark

      It's not hard to understand, it's merely wrong.

      Each of Havili'i, Bridge, Reece and Ennor are in possible AB contention. They would not care less about the guys behind them, because the guys behind are far worse than they are. They will play every game as well as they can, because they are looking at higher honours, not over their shoulders.

      Meanwhile other teams have their best players not being fielded. That's a far worse situation that worrying that some of your also-rans can't make the team.

      I would love it if the Chiefs could field Damien McKenzie, at the cost of not being able to field Etene Nanai-Seturo.

      The tackle is over the top of the shoulder thus probably should be a penalty try anyway.

      Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Otere didn't even get off the bench in this game. Actually, 3 players didn't get off the bench, which is pretty rare these days. I bet the coaches were almost going to make it 4, but they somehow convinced themselves to let Pulu come on.

      @No-Quarter said in Hurricanes vs Chiefs:

      @Rancid-Schnitzel I've been waiting for days for you to comment on Jordie's performance. This thread is now complete.

      Ha ha. He still wasn't at 12 though!
      For me, this isn't a Canes thing or Beadie's brother thing. I saw Jordie play for the NZ U20s and Canterbury before he ever signed for the Canes (I assumed he would stay down south) and could see that he was a special talent. It's frustrating when he does stupid shit (unnecessary offloads etc) but the potential is massive and he's still very young. Some people are very quick to throw players on the scrap heap. Just look at Nonu.

      NZ sees lots of "special" players.

      Sorry, but that's not enough.

      Damien McKenzie is plenty special, but that doesn't mean he should start every game.

      Another really special player was Rupeni Caucaunibuca. But special really, really isn't enough. The follow through is just as important.

      I'm sorry, but that is a bizarre post.

      Our forwards were absolute meh for most of that match. TBH I thought we would lose by more when I saw the starting side.
      But we really need to learn how to defend at close quarters I lost count how many attacks came from straighttheough the middle of the ruck. Where were our guard dogs FFS?

      I was impressed by Luke Jacobson. His tackling was ferocious, hit the rucks with efficiency and ran hard. He is one to watch this year IMO.
      Incredible game from Alex Nankivell too. I hope he will keep playing like that. A combo with ALB could be interesting in the next weeks to come.

      I need to qualify what I meant by my comment about NPC form meaning nothing. It can certainly play you into a Super Rugby squad, but doesn’t neccessarily mean you can translate that form into SR, and some find that step up much harder than expected. It’s relatively easy to dominate at the lower level but then the next step is becoming harder by the year as our depth is eroded. Problem being, how often in the NPC is a freshie coming up against an established Super Rugby player, or veteran, in ten rounds?
