Very late but here are my post match interviews from both the Miter 10 Cup and Farah Palmer Cup games:

Steven Harris will be joining me on #RugbyChat at 8pm NZ Tuesday to go over all the International action

My post match interviews with Dillon Hunt and Danny Tusitala

Not surprised by Perofeta losing the 10 jersey, he really needs to be nailing those kicks at sticks

@mikedogz I've asked Waikato and Counties if I can get pre or post match interviews with the head coaches and players, hopefully I'll be able to post them on here

@Stargazer Still got Sio Tomkinson or Scott Gregory who can play 12/13

Big mistake putting Ioane at 12 against a crash ball South African side....he should be given the 10 jersey to own for the season

@KiwiMurph It's a bit like, coaches you don't know how to do your job so we are going to tell players that they don't know how to tackle.

@KiwiMurph Cool but does raise the question what's the point then...ah well the administrators have such a good record I'll trust them....

With rookie hookers and a 6 in the locks (Robinson) I expect the Chiefs to really target the lineout

Both got solid starting 15s but the benches look inexperienced. Also going to be interesting seeing how Lolesio goes, massive opportunities for that 10 Wallabies jersey.....

@Machpants The way I read it they get a match ban after 2 warnings...Oh well we'll see

This is his big opportunity
