Why are the Chiefs hell bent on throwing low percentage passes?

Is Angus Ta'avo a liability? He got pinged a lot last week early and he's given away one already tonight.

Maybe because he's wearing the 1 jersey instead of 3?

Yeah I didn't realise that. Why is he playing loosehead then?

Well fuck. Why all the 50/50 passes.

Fifty fifty? Throwing it backwards whilst not looking is not fifty fifty! It's just stupid

Cooper be Crazy?

@Damo All Black's call, maybe

Jailbreak7

Weber also throwing ropey passes

Machpants

Another bit of great captaincy not going for kick, still 0 points

Yeetyaah

Why the fuck is Ta'avao playing at loosehead? Dudes a magnet for penalties.

Not a great call if it is. He's obviously fooled the refs into thinking he has a problem keeping his bind up.

Machpants

@Jailbreak7 I've no idea just a guess, probably not correct

Stargazer

Who are the Chiefs' loosehead props and are they available for selection (not injured)?

Jailbreak7

@Machpants You're possibly correct though. Idiocy from Cooper otherwise.

Because injury crisis or the Chiefs coaches are shit?

Pretty sure it’s the ABs asked him to swap sides. Ofa and Karl did it earlier in the season

One of the (likely) 5 RWC props will need to cover both sides

Yeetyaah

For fuck sake he needs to switch sides. Fuck what the selectors say.

The results of the experiment appear to be in.

Machpants

I imagine this will be his last go if it is a request from above

Machpants

6 0, if only the chiefs could have got a couple of penalties....

Stargazer

From the Chiefs' media release for this game:

Unavailable for selection:
Aidan Ross, Brodie Retallick, Damian McKenzie, Fin Hoeata, Kane Hames, Laghlan McWhannell, Michael Allardice, Mitchell Karpik, Nathan Harris, Reuben O’Neill, Sam Cane, Sam McNicol, Solomon Alaimalo and Tiaan Falcon.

Aiden Ross was the starting LH in all games until last week, except the first game, when Moli got the start. Moli is on the bench for this game

Machpants

Awful call by the ref there, McKenzie released, someone else was in the ball. Annoying simple calls like that got incorrect
