Chiefs v Reds
-
Bloody hell, that's a real gutsy win by the Chiefs. Vitrually nothing more than 10% of possession in the second half but they held their defensive line. Kind of like batting out the final day of a Cricket Test with only a couple of wickets in hand. Magnificant effort, well done Chiefs.

Hat's off to the Chiefs defence.

Dumb from the Reds, just dumb. What were the chances of that actually resulting in a try. What a retarded football team.
The quality of that game definitely reflected the ladder position of both sides

That's ridiculous. Not often I feel sorry for the Reds. They deserved to score then.
Little sympathy for an Aussie rugby team from me... if they can’t win with that much possession they deserve to lose.

They may have lost a lot of key players, but jeez, the Chiefs have some team spirit & ticker don't they?

Chiefs lost all breakdown presence when Cane went off
Izack Rodda is a good player.
TTT can’t posssibly make the all blacks squad, his passing is worse than Weber.
Cane subbed seven minutes after a ten minute half time break = Super Coach Colin Cooper.

Reds only have themselves to blame, all the ball in the world and did not make it count..
Only upside for this Reds team, with an average of 22 they are going to develop into a very good team moving forward..
Well done the chiefs,amazing defensive effort. -
Chiefs just stopped playing with the ball in the second half. Their own worst enemy. But that said massive d. Parete has earned his stripes with a few injuries. But hats off to Boshier for his heads up plays when it mattered. Cane has real impact and it’s good to see him back and building.

Big step down in class.
Izack Rodda is a good player.
Yes, excellent work ethic.

Be nice if he got some opportunity to practise.

I would think that the training team know Cane's performance numbers and when to pull him at this stage. It was also probably a half time discussion thing and maybe a niggle.
Last thing anyone (Chiefs or ABs) needs is to thrash him on the comeback.Cooper may not be an elite coach but he's not deserving of some of the shit being thrown his way this season.
The season start was atrocious but looked to be in the players' heads. The coaches and players have done a pretty good job all things considered to pull things together during a tough time.
I flushed the season a long time ago but it's good to see the team playing with pride and a few unheralded guys have really developed. Parete, Nankivell, MMac -

Really? 80% possession and the best the yh can do is bash against a brick wall?

Good analogy

@MajorRage said in Chiefs v Reds:
Reading that the replay showed the last held up as worth a look as scored? That legit or bollocks?
Bollocks
Reds would be going bonkers if it was down.
Looked well and truly held up.

Huh? I'm pretty sure you're smarter than that and haven't just come out of a 90s time capsule..
It's been common practice for years now for coaches to begin subbing shortly after half time, one big reason is it allows the replacement to warm up.

Can still feel a little sorry for them. But I think much of that has to do with BBBT being in charge. Terrible backline though.
