    Can we please get rid of kicking the ball on the floor at the ruck.

    Blight on the game.

    They trialled a law at the U20's that made it illegal, so hopefully gets adopted wider

    Hooray

    Great turnover from Cole to finish the match, but he should have been binned at the previous breakdown.

    Yeah, I'm not too fussed about that, looking at that team sheet that's probably the worst team on paper of the Super teams. Not many starters in that lot.

    Hamish Bidwell is such a cock:

    I enjoyed that. Haven't found the Chiefs hugely endearing in the last few months. They're not great lovers of the media, particularly the print brigade. Got towelled right up in this one

    Well done Lions, excellent win.

    Chiefs smashed at set piece, smashed in contact, beaten at the ruck, meaning the backs were superfluous.

    Lions so good. Fast accurate and physical on defense, and excellent at keeping the ball. Much more accurate kicking game as well. Some good running rugby when it was on as well. I loved their ability so sneakily slow down every ruck off any chiefs half break. Thats very us, and if they can do it on the weekend they're a big shout.

    only chiefs payer to come out of that with any real credit was probably hika, although the wee ginge went okay i guess.
    the combination of breaking out the haka and trotting out a B team doesn't really sit well with me.

    @mariner4life Must be bitter his prediction that the Chiefs would thrash the Blues was bullshit.

    Thought that Christie lad was phenomonal genuinely looked like the only threat in the backs and a shame he went off. Hika too was awesome when he came on. Just shame about everything else. Lions dominated and got better as the game went on, nice to see some enterprising backplay from them. Decent watch once you've accepted the Chiefs were going down.

    Well that was another let down of a game.
    Really glad the didn't start Hika, Hames, Messam, Lowe and Ngatai. There was a real risk they would be tired and flat and play like shit. Luckily their replacements were errr tired, flat and shit.

    But the scoreboard. Seriously; this is a Lions team that according to Barnes (so numbers may not be correct) had more test caps than the Chiefs had Super Rugby appearances.

    Agreed it wasnt a bad watch when you factor in the Chiefs were well down talent wise in this game.

    Good to see Nowell show his abilities - as has been suggested on here he's not a traditional winger but dangerous when he pops up.

    Impressive display Lions - so excited for Saturday.

    Finlay Christie is seriously awesome.

    I would like to commend the Chiefs for apparently blacklisting that knob journo Hamish Bidwell - may all other nz franchises follow suit.

    The Scots must be looking seriously at Christie now.

    @reprobate He really is poor these days. Every Lions break coincided with him being a turnstile.

    Not a huge surprise with the result. Lions slightly better than they have been, certainly more fluid. Chiefs the opposite, some awful backline play with passes fired behind the man. Lions dominant in the physical battle which is their strength. Some of the young Chiefs players went OK but as group, far too callow. From a BOP point of view, some experience gained and Tiatia had a few nice touches.

    French ref as baffling as ever.

    The kicking v the Lions rush defence by most teams on this tour has been really ineffective. I think Walden for Highlanders had some success, not much else.

    In general. At SR level & the tour, since the Barrett kickpass extravaganza v the stormers the kickpass has been ineffective (or complete stinkers) by all teams.

    If you follow a few rugby journos on twitter there's often rumblings about the Chiefs' standover tactics of the media. Good on Liam for not cowering; and poor form from the franchise to deal with it so unprofessionally. They really don't help themselves sometimes.
