Chiefs v Reds 5.05pm Friday 12/05 - New Plymouth

[Wilson]

Does it go to golden point?

I thought it was a draw....

No it's golden point these days

 

[wamberal]

I eat my words.Happily. The Reds played like a team with a plan, for a change.

 

[qwerty51]

Reds just did Brumbies a massive favour.

 

[Wilson]

So bloody chuffed with that. It was a win built both off of playing grit and good tactical coaching. A little bit of vindication for the organisation, top to bottom.

 

[RugbyReg]

That was genuinely incredible. I’m speechless. I can’t believe how good that was.

We haven’t won in NZL since 2013. V the chiefs ironically.

Actually saw a game plan. Défense was strategic and kicking game astute.

Im struggling to fathom this.

 

[LeCheese]

McMillan and Chiefs interviewed genuinely seem shellshocked. Love to see it

 

[Wilson]

One or two more points to secure a finals spot I think. A win vs the highlanders or the drua should guarantee it.

It was just the sheer will as well. Scrambling effort off the ball to stop the chiefs. I’ve never seen so many bodies pushing across in off the ball effort plays.

 

[Rugby follower]

Tate and Fraser really stood up tonight, great for the future for the Reds. 2 really strong young leaders both signed to long term contracts. Best thing for Tate was missing out on the Wallabies squad he has been excellent since. Smarts by Eddie with this.

Please don’t say that Wilson, you said the same last week against the Tahs and we dropped our lollies!

Fate demands to be tempted

 

[The Nomad]

A massive shift from Vest and Blyth, should be commended

Vest has been one of my favourite players in QPR since showing up at UQ in 2020. So glad he is getting a decent crack at Super Rugby. I know his club mates loved playing with him, he is such a passionate player, what rugby is all about for me.

I would love to know what changed during the week, I genuinely would. That was more than just changing players, we actually played smart, thoughtful footy with big dose of defensive mongrel.

 

[Jimmy_Crouch]

Smith with another lazy high tackle nearly f*cked us.

 

[Dctarget]

Bloody brilliant. That goal line defence in the final minutes was extraordinary. Special mention to Lynagh who was out there chopping men twice his size to win the game.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

So that's how you tip over the all-conquering Chiefs.

Just have to defend nonstop like maniacs for 82 of the 82 minutes.

 

[SouthernX]

Reds just did Brumbies a massive favour.

Mate the reds just did the reds a massive favour.

wet sail at the business end of the season. Beat the top of table undefeated team.

They’ll have a lot of confidence in themselves whichever NZ Rugby fortress they have to go thru in the playoffs towards the super rugby pacific grand final.

 

[Misunderstood fan]

It feels like Christmas.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

DMac with kind of a flaky shocker and Stevenson well contained.

Thompson the reserve hooker with some cock ups topped off by going for the try at the death when he was always likely to be held up

Tate Mcdermott completely outplayed Ratima who looked too automated and offered zero sniping threat
