Chiefs v Reds 7/6 QF

[Strewthcobber]

It certainly had a bit of a "Bledisloe in NZ" game feel about it. A week of talking ourselves into the possibility, and then 15 minutes later they are standing over us with our still beating heart in their red right hand.

Tiresome to say the least

It was apparent pretty much everywhere

It was apparent pretty much everywhere across the park especially centres, back 3 and loose forwards.

And this is why all the calls from people for Josh Flook to play 13 or wing for the Wallabies frustrate me. He will be playing against equally good footballers but significantly better athletes.

It is not always that simple, sometimes the best player deserves their spot despite their size. Take McReight for example, there may be bigger athletes in his position but he is consistently the best in his position in the country and deserves his spot.

For the Reds I think the size issues were most apparent at 10 and 12.

I would love Gordon to be signed as either a 10 or 12 for the Reds.

The entire backline is light. Petaia and Vunivalu are the only big bodies out there.

Chiefs just lying all over it, making a mess. Okeefe staring straight at it and doesn’t give a shit.

Neutral refs or nothing.

Tell us you're a pillock without telling us...

Darby Lancaster could add some size too.
