Apart from Pollard and Vermuelen (and Brits if he's not past it), that's actually not an as impressive team as I was expecting. When did Brits get back to SA?

[Stargazer]

@Bones

There's been a dramatic twist in Schalk Brits' search for a new club

Schalk Brits, who came out of retirement to play for South Africa in their series win over England in June, has had to find a new club after a deal to sign with the Stormers fell through.

Chiefs backline looks good. Maybe a win finally, but I say that every week.

It would be an obvious fix of massive proportions. In decades to come, baseballers would talk about the Black Bulls...

Late change sees Anton Lienert-Brown drop out and Nankivell start with MMac on the bench. Fuck.

Manu and Nankinvall as a starting midfield.

[Stargazer]

What happened to Debreczeni? MMac came on very early, but I didn't see why Debreczeni had to come off.

[Yeetyaah]

@Stargazer Yeah I can't recall seeing a replacement announcement on the screen like it usually does.

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah I did see it, but the commentators didn't say anything.

[Yeetyaah]

Bloody hell, Chiefs are doing well. Had my doubts but Nankivell looks great in the midfield.

This pleasantly unexpected! Agree on Nankivell - I wonder what other players I should put down to make them play well.

[Nepia]

Even MMac has looked good today.

Optimism is key 😉

[Jailbreak7]

50 up for the Chiefs! BBBR just missed out on a hatrick
Nankivell impressed today.

[Canes4life]

Holy hecka. Wasn't expecting to wake up to this.

[Victor Meldrew]

Chiefs were impressive across the board. DMac and Luke Jacobson especially so.

You could count the Chiefs errors on one hand - their accuracy was outstanding

He had a head knock early on.

Weber was like a different player today, definitely made TTT look like the rookie - his pass to the left is pretty slow/sloppy... Has it always been like that and I haven't noticed?
