Chiefs v Hurricanes
-
Well played Chiefs. Canes had far too many drop kicks out there tonight.
Hopefully we can get some cattle back next week against the Blues.

It seems to be all our good players getting injured every week aswell. We need a new conditioning coach because this seems to bloody happen every year.
That unavailable list is way too big and only seems to get bigger every week.
-
@Canes4life I don't think any conditioning coach can do anything to prevent injuries like those suffered today.
-
@Stargazer Yeah he really is.
-
Ooh boy howdy that was a soggy one. Chiefs defence was so bloody good, only massive mistake defensively was Nankivell drifting in before the Moorby try and Stevenson not reacting to the kick. Dmac obviously gave fumbled the ball horribly which lead to a try. Chiefs forwards were all over the Canes was bloody good to see. Glad to see them bounce back after last week.

You’d hope so. There were 7 ABs in that starting Chiefs pack.
Weber and DMac getting an armchair ride…. 😎

The looks on the Chiefs forwards when the ball was just kicked in to touch to finish the match was priceless
-
Canes won't win anything with Morgan at pivot. He is Hunt-lite. Stevenson and DMac just needed to kick it into Canes territory and would gain territory. Did any of Morgan's kicks go over 20 meters?
Think we are seeing the future with Roigard and Ratima! -
DMac fangirls need to acknowledge the screamingly obvious; his claims to All Black squad scall up isn't at five-eighth; it's at full black as reserve.
-
It may be obvious to you, but if we play Mo'unga at 1st-5 we will get the porous defense that goes with that, and very unsympathetic ball play for the centres. And if we play Beauden Barrett, it won't even be that good.
If DMac isn't at #10 for the ABs, the RWC will be the most relaxing I have watched, because without his spark in close to play, we are not beating any good sides.
I noticed at the game just how much further the Chiefs' kicks went, and also that DMac was defending in the midfield on line-outs.

fangirls? Your opinion would be more convincing without the insults or the invented "full black" position. I wasn't a DMac fam at AB level as a starter let alone 10, but he has definitely improved. And the contenders aren't in the most convincing of form or confidence.

Maybe he was referring to all the Polish chicks on here....
-
@antipodean Who would you pick at 10 for the ABs?
-
Have always thought that he was the form 10 at the end of last season playing in the development team under Leon. I wonder if some of the rule changes may have helped him in that position, just a guess. We defiantly need more than one 10 going forwards, as there will be different scenarios which suit different 10s. I am just hoping we get another DC clone.

Who is denying he hasn't improved, or that Mo'unga and Beaudy aren't exactly at the top of their form? The simple fact remains if it was a three horse race, he's coming last.
