I absolutely agree with this however when the calls seem soo obvious and they don't come, then it's impossible to not get frustrated when you're on the receiving end. They probably should have taken matters into their own hands but they seemed to continue to play within a certain set of rules...

Chiefs deserved to win that, I don't think anyone is actually questioning this. They came out fired up, physical and clinical. What I will say about referees, specifically regarding the breakdown, is that their correct or incorrect interpretation in the first 5/10/15 minutes has a massive...

Tough to watch. Everytime the Reds get momentum something stupid happens and they just fall apart after that. Everything Chiefs touch turns to gold. Everything against the Reds that half, hope they come out 2nd half and throw caution to the wind and fucking fight for it.

He is missing a heap at the ruck which has an impact on the score. Reds aren't playing well enough, no doubt but as I've seen there are several ruck penalties which should have been called and the weren't which directly led to tries. Everything coming off for the chiefs, nothing for the Reds...

BOK missing his usual calls and finding others. Reds being completely out played though. Looked good those last few mins

Looking like men v boys out there unfortunately

Agree with the 2nd part of this. I also don't see a problem with registered club players getting free tix to one or 2 games a year. Perhaps a last minute thing where qru announce the night before, only those who have paid subs able to get it. Get them in, more of a crowd, get them spending cash...

Ideally you have a 12 who can do it all. You're right in that foketi is the closest to that. Particularly going on his form over the past couple years. I'm not suggesting that edmed is the starting 12 for Tahs but that I believe his current skillet is probably more suited to 12 than 10.

I think when you blokes get Harrison, Hanigan, FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner), Jorg, Perese, Poreki back there will be a pretty big difference Certainly not a good showing against the Reds however it's good time in the saddle for them before rd 1. I'm not sure what you guys do with Gordon. I like him, seems to be a...

It's slightly more complicated than that...

Scrums were great. Even the reserve front row went well when they came on which no one expected. The lineout was mostly good. I thought all the forwards had good games. Gordon wasn't at his best but kept working into the game which is admirable. Kerevi was well marked but doesn't look to be...

Poor in relation to what he is capable of. Certainly wasn't his best game. He at 6s and 7s

He provides a hell of a lot if you listen to those who have played, trained and even coached with him. I'll take their words over some random punters on a rugby forum. This is all heresy at the moment regarding his non involvement with Aus A. From what we know he may have been told he wasn't...

Foketi was poor on the weekend. I was really impressed with him last year but he looked really out of sorts v France the other day. Looked like Paisami had a decent game for A? I think the date has passed for any squad changes though.

Positives: Vunivalu had probably his best game in Rugby against arguably the best team in the world. Not sure where this leaves our back 3 and our reserves. Most impressed with his work off the ball and decision making. Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) was good as was Kellaway apart from 1 big mistake. Skelton was...

Any backs step up? How did Flook go?

This game isn't televised hey? Or live streamed?

A much improved performance again. My positive thoughts: -Bell is a legit freak. We need to keep him on the field to be a chance at the WC. He is a cheat code. - Poreki his usual pretty reliable self while on - Pone surprised me. He had a great game in the loose. Bullied the fuck out of some NZ...

Fair points. I do recall him picking size over skill at the Reds. Waugh and Smith were both exceptional players at 7. As were Underhill and curry.

Exactly this. He doesn't offer anything "better" at 7 that McReight. He is a better lineout option and has some extra weight. McReight offers more speed, dynamics, better tackler, more experience, more leadership, better pilferer, better attacker, more skillful and something which is often...
