Reds vs Chiefs

[ARHS]

Cane and Norris will be missed with McReight and Tupou in the opposition. Thought maybe Tupaea back in midfield v Paisami too.
Chiefs will need to keep McDermott in check and play at right end of field with Reds turnover capability. I think our box and diagonal kicking will be critical along with our lineout strength. Expecting a real tight one.

[Bovidae]

The Chiefs record in Brisbane in the last decade is better than I thought, winning the previous three games. Need to start well.

Seriously I don't think I've ever seen a more injury prone player..wait, maybe Petaia. Due to injuries Vunivalu has unfortunately failed to make an impact since crossing over.

We should see team lists tomorrow. I wonder when Simon Parker will actually play again? It's been a loooong time.

[ARHS]

@ploughboy keen to see him play for Chiefs. Ideally on the wing.

It sounds like his injury might be concussion - so who knows?

That brings my heart joy.

We’ll still get smashed most likely, but at least we have a player to watch.

Parker had surgery on his foot in April last year (plantar plate repair).

Another tiny crowd

[Duluth]

That was a bit shit by Gatland

[antipodean]

Another poor Gatland kick.

[antipodean]

Gatland needs another 10m on those kicks so the chasers are going forward and defenders are stagnant.

[KiwiMurph]

Good defense by Reds so far

[Mattasaurus]

Chiefs runners need to hit the ball and line with some intent

[Mattasaurus]

Ffs what's with the obsession with these bombs in you own half

[antipodean]

If Nankivell reduced his error rate, he could be the new midfield Smith.

[KiwiMurph]

Gatland again throwing intercepts

[Mattasaurus]

Such a piss poor spectacle... Is it any wonder the crowds aren't turning up
