Chiefs v Reds

[Mattasaurus]

This is the sort of game Josh Ioane seems to play well in .. but he very much is rocks and diamonds...

[antipodean]

Big question is will the Reds have their traditional second half slump?

[KiwiMurph]

Reds bossed that

[antipodean]

Chiefs missing Cane and Samisoni.

And Brodie

DMac showing what he can do with time and space. The sort afforded a fullback.

[NTA]

Prediction: Reds to implode

[Stargazer]

Ioane replacing Stevenson.

[KiwiMurph]

Perhaps Stevenson's least impactful game this season. Contained.

[Mr Fish]

You have to wonder why the Chiefs aren't challenging the Reds lineout in the 22. Their maul defence has been pretty useless but they've been so successful at disrupting the delivery when they've attempted to do so.

[antipodean]

Chiefs conspiring to lose to one of the worst teams in the comp. Depth clearly not great.

[Donsteppa]

The dangers of fielding a second rate forward pack.

Especially when Narawa backs them up with hands like that.

[Stargazer]

The Chiefs are lucky the Reds' kickers have forgotten their kicking boots.

[Steven Harris]

People forgetting the Reds are missing several players,Hunter Paisami and Taniela Tupou just to name a couple

[KiwiMurph]

Chiefs lacking some punch in .midfield I reckon.

[Mattasaurus]

Chiefs trying to score off everything rather than running through some phases and applying pressure

[His Bobness]

Poor strategy by the Chiefs - trying to play it through their brilliant outside backs in a predictable pattern that played into the Reds’ hands. Need to mix it up a bit and play it straight up the middle through the forwards. Missing Retallick clearly.

The last time they went route one repeatedly they lost the ball. Retaining possession hurting them. With the weather it's a night to play territory and they keep losing the kicking game.

[Mattasaurus]

thought Ratima's passing was not his best tonight

[Stargazer]

Finau injured?
