Chiefs v Force

Steven Harris

@Chris-B just does his basics well great lineout option as well
Finau was supposed to be the guy who replaced Frizzell but for me all those hits on small outside backs has not need been seen on bigger bodies .

When the Chiefs played well, they really played well. Certainly a whole lot of downsides but an absolutely crazy game. Hard to believe that the Force are a mid table team, given the scoreline.

Echo the comments about Turunui, great addition to the comm's team. Seems a very knowledgeable, yet very humble, bloke.

Great to see Sititi back. Straight back into it.

I hope Tupaea is OK as the Chiefs don't look to be having ALB for a while.

Happy with the 5 pts and kudos to the scrum.

If stats are recent/accurate Parker is a smidge bigger than Finau and seems to have a good workrate from my limited viewing.

Tizzano was very quiet

Was impressed with Jacomb.

Norris put himself into the AB conversation tonight for the 3rd LH prop position. He can be a really good ball-carrier so just whether Ryan rates him in the scrum.

A Tom Vinicombe 2022 post suggested him as a running prop contender but not sure if the AB coaches considered him then; and a shame Black Dragon isn't here to say he should be an 8 (because he was one !)

Any idea of his height to weight ratio?

Good to see Hori BoP at a Super Rugby game too. He was at the Pakistan T20 match getting the lay of the land.

How funny you say that. We saw him at the gate trying to buy a ticket, and gave him our spare one. Was great to see him back up here.

I forget the Blackdragon formula but
Hayman 1.93m 115kg* (https://stats.allblacks.com/all-players/profile/Carl-Hayman-AB-1000)
Norris 1.95 126kg (https://chiefs.co.nz/player/ollie-norris/)

(*for some reason I thought Hayman was bigger).
