Blues Women v Chiefs Manawa

[Stargazer]

Is Kelsie Thwaites related to Jeff Thwaites?

Edit: google suggests that they are married to each other.

31-7 half time.
Blues playing better than the score suggests but Chiefs forwards started gaining dominance and the rest followed. Willison and Connor showing out.

Was Kelsie Wills.

Amazing piece of skill from Willison sends Daals under the bar.
Blues fought back but Chiefs strike twice to go 45-21

[Yeetyaah]

Unsure why Harono is being used as a prop. She's a unit but she's getting monstered.

[Crucial]

Blues fighting back again

[Yeetyaah]

Shit what an effort from Grace

[Crucial]

Blues have left some key workers on (Roos, McMeniman) but Chiefs subbing out Connor, K-S and Fitzgerald took a while to reset

Good swings of momentum but try for try takes it to 50-33

[Crucial]

Chiefs Manawa will stay top of the table no matter the result in the next game.
If Matatu win then the top and bottom two are decided with the order getting sorted next week.

@Stargazer that was pretty incredible. Kicked ahead then ran around the outside to step back in and reclaim. If that was Will Jordan doing that TJ would blown his load.

I managed to watch a replay of this game this morning. Good to see the Chiefs backs more involved as the back three are all threats. It is strange that you can somewhat manufacture props in the women's game but it appears that the Chiefs have major injuries there.

The Blues are a dangerous team when they get their off-loading game going. Their scrum held up better than I thought it would.
