          Apart from Pollard and Vermuelen (and Brits if he's not past it), that's actually not an as impressive team as I was expecting. When did Brits get back to SA?

            There's been a dramatic twist in Schalk Brits' search for a new club

            There's been a dramatic twist in Schalk Brits' search for a new club

            Schalk Brits, who came out of retirement to play for South Africa in their series win over England in June, has had to find a new club after a deal to sign with the Stormers fell through.

              Chiefs backline looks good. Maybe a win finally, but I say that every week.

                  It would be an obvious fix of massive proportions. In decades to come, baseballers would talk about the Black Bulls...

                    Late change sees Anton Lienert-Brown drop out and Nankivell start with MMac on the bench. Fuck.

                      Manu and Nankinvall as a starting midfield. 😨

                        What happened to Debreczeni? MMac came on very early, but I didn't see why Debreczeni had to come off.

                          @Stargazer Yeah I can't recall seeing a replacement announcement on the screen like it usually does.

                              Bloody hell, Chiefs are doing well. Had my doubts but Nankivell looks great in the midfield.

                                This pleasantly unexpected! Agree on Nankivell - I wonder what other players I should put down to make them play well.

                                      50 up for the Chiefs! BBBR just missed out on a hatrick
                                      Nankivell impressed today.

                                          Chiefs were impressive across the board. DMac and Luke Jacobson especially so.

                                          You could count the Chiefs errors on one hand - their accuracy was outstanding

                                            Weber was like a different player today, definitely made TTT look like the rookie - his pass to the left is pretty slow/sloppy... Has it always been like that and I haven't noticed?

                                                Did anyone see who had the neck injury and got carried off on the cart? The commentators just mentioned a neck injury but didn't say for which team and who. I saw a Chiefs player on the cart as he was being driven off but didn't see who it was.

                                                    Halfbacks and first-fives usually look a lot better when their forwards are going forward and providing good quick ball and protection - it is not a coincidence.

                                                                Rosko Specman running into Laulala's shoulder was the best thing in the match.

                                                                Quite literally just saw the hit just now and posted as above. Hadn't seen you or m4l's posts.

BBBR outstanding and that Nankivell was very good. As mentioned earlier very few errors. Good luck next week boys.

                                                                        What is interesting about it is that in the second half he was the chief play maker anyway - basically playing 10 but from 15 and doing it well.

                                                                        I thought MMac had a good game actually, didn't try to over play his hand and kicked the Chiefs out of trouble when needed.

                                                                            Much simpler game plan with us using Dmac more appropriately. It’s strange that he does so much playmaking - yet not having to be the main playmaker seems to give him confidence to make better decisions. Also of course, being second receiver suits him much more.

                                                                            Nankivell reminds me of Crotty - really accurate, plays bigger than he looks, and tidies up well - some of his kicks were very good.

                                                                            Probably our best midfield is ALB/Nankivell - although Manu is starting to look more at home at 13 too.

                                                                                What happened to Debreczeni? MMac came on very early, but I didn't see why Debreczeni had to come off.

                                                                                He had a head knock early on.

                                                                                Weber was like a different player today, definitely made TTT look like the rookie - his pass to the left is pretty slow/sloppy... Has it always been like that and I haven't noticed?

                                                                                Halfbacks and first-fives usually look a lot better when their forwards are going forward and providing good quick ball and protection - it is not a coincidence.

                                                                                Thanks that was my first game of rugby. So you're saying the forwards turned to shit when Tahuriorangi came on?
