Chiefs v Bulls
-
-
40+ margin.
-
I hope Rennie has had the team practising defending mauls/lineout drives during the week.
Congrats to Liam Messam - his 150th game for the Chiefs.
The team will look a little different in appearance to those photos as many have had their heads shaven today for charity.

Wonder if we'll see a repeat of the strategy the Chiefs used a couple of years ago against the Bulls, where they played some real messy, loose rugby and ran them off their feet. It was effective but not fun to watch at all, so I hope not.
-
@Unco They played eachother before the Brisbane 10s where the Bulls won and dominated up front. That Chiefs team was very different to this one though.
I haven't seen the Bulls play this season (I didn't see any games last weekend) but they don't look to be as strong as in previous years. I'm sure the Chiefs will look to play at a high tempo but still need to be accurate. The Chiefs will play 3 SA teams in the row.
-
The Bulls looked shattered last week after only 40mins.
-
That is a sensational back 5 isn't it.
WTF is a prop doing with the name of Siegfried?
-
@MajorRage Ian, Kevin and Wilson obviously aren't popular names in Tonga.

Try ten minutes, horribly unfit/lazy side. If the Chiefs can maintain multiple phases as they normally do they will crack 50.
-
Let's go! Hopefully a much better game than against the Rebels. Also hope the Bulls turn up to make it at least a bit of a contest.
-
Cane must be off for a concussion test
-
McKenzie really looks like Cullen with that haircut
-
Yay. No more midget Hulk Hogan.
-
Playing saders or chiefs... take the 3s as loads on offer so far this season.
-
Great scrum.

Actually that is Karpik, not McKenzie
-
Chiefs losing the contact situations
-
Agree with others.. bulls should run out of steam... but they're playing as well as they have all season at the moment
-
@Stockcar86 like a re-run of the Blues game...
-
After 30 minutes of Karpik's bald head running around I'm actually thinking he looks better with his golden Hogan locks.
Shit, this is a cabbage performance by the Chiefs.

Mancrush?

@Nepia We just don't seem to handle coming off the bye week very well

Yep, might have been better playing a friendly last week.
-
So it's illegal to collapse a maul right? "Blue took that down, blue took that down" from the ref yet oddly no penalty, as they're the attacking side.
-
That was a shittier half than the Blues first half
-
Too many 'clever' no look passes not going to hand...
-
Is Umaga coaching the chiefs too?
Nah that's not fair, the chiefs attack has at least looked organised at times!
-
Missed tackles in mid field costing cheifs. .. collision very even and brutal. Am predicting Bulls will start blowing hard after 15mins and chiefs bench will up the tempo and ease away
-
The Dumb and Dumber show continues from the Chiefs... discipline, hands, and option taking...
-
Geez, another turnover.
-
Who is the Chiefs 12 and how the fuck did he get a start?

Must have been some sort of lottery in Garden Place to find a random fan to be A Chief For A Day...
Chiefs score through FINALLY not fucking up...
-
See, all Stephenson needs to do is catch one!
-
What a step!
-
@Baron-Silas-Greenback He's an Auckland player who moved to Taranaki for game time.
-
@Tim Thanks. . Was he this shite for Auckland?
-
@Baron-Silas-Greenback Don't think he ever played for the NPC team.
-
No good the Chiefs just banking on the Bulls to run out of steam...they have to mount an attack and string some decent phases together....whoa just as I type Stevenson makes an opportunity out of nothing and scores...bout bloody time
