current scoreline is why the Reds were right not to take the 3

Yeah, but hypotheticals.

 

[dru]

What?

 

[Shiggins]

Reds not in position for a BP and the games still in the balance but they aren't acting like it

 

[dru]

Wow. Chiefs just awesome.

 

[Wallabies]

27-10, that’s all people will see from this game

Nope.

 

[Major Tom]

Wow quick tmo check lol

 

[Shiggins]

How is that try awarded but HMP wasnt? There was more evidence in that one than harrys. How did bery even award it

 

[Derpus]

Not sure you can call it a 'decision' at this stage, it's clearly a team tactic and very well established.

I dont like it. Dominating with a man down and not coming away with any points has got to be a psychological blow. You just blew a try - surely you suck up the remaining time on the yellow and bank 3?

Anyway - good physical game and a strong performance from the Reds.

Hard to see anyone beating the Chiefs this year.

 

[Wilson]

Harry Wilson might be the new wallabies 10

 

[Major Tom]

The difference between lynagh and HMP. Grounding the ball ability.

 

[Shiggins]

Wilson wow. That's insane from the big fella. Reds should have a BP at least from this. Unlucky

 

[cyclopath]

Harry Wilson's contract should get bumped up 20% for that play alone. Nasty skills for a number 8!

 

[dru]

Nice finish.

Chiefs just fabulous. Reds working hard. Two teams playing entertaining rugby in poor conditions.

Look the ref annoyed me. A lot. But that doesn't mean he dictated the result. Well done Chiefs.

Look, it's not my favourite strategy though I am still keen to see how it plays out and if the adjust it, but it's clearly set from on high - it's not so much any individual captains decision.

Very much agree on the Chiefs, they have a dream run from here - their only trip out of New Zealand left is next week to Sydney.

 

[Aussie D]

Can’t people just appreciate a good game where two quality teams are applying pressure and forcing mistakes.

Absolutely it has been a great game, doesn't mean the comment isn't justified. I am hoping that the Reds coaching staff look at why the lost and make adjustments so that later in the season when it is sudden death they can turn the result around.

Well chiefs last try vs HMP disallowed try plus the very very soft yellow. Reds prob still lose but it's 1-3 points in it

 

[Dan54]

Well I was cheering for Reds to get that last try! My picks I had Chiefs by 9-16 points so needed it a little closer than it was.
Genuinely thought it a tough game, and Reds with a touch of luck and maybe a bit shrewder subbing. I thought McDermott looked gassed a bit earlier.
For Chiefs bench made the difference in end. Vai'i was huge, and Finau and Roe both made a difference.
